The Sam Hill collection by Nukeproof features several components designed and tested by Sam Hill himself. In the cockpit area he has a pair of signature bars with a 31.8mm, 9-degree backsweep, and 6-degree upsweep. They are available in 10, 25, and 38mm rises with a weight of 298 grams and a price of 65 EURO.
Sam prefers a 40mm direct mount. The CNC 7000 series aluminum stem uses a 31.8mm clamp, has a 30-degree rise, weighs 157 grams, and goes for 80 EURO.
The Vector DH saddle has a great look and seamless design. It uses titanium/CrN rails. It'll sell for 80 EURO.
For the 2015 race season, Hill wanted a carbon fiber seatpost. It has custom Sam Hill graphics, comes in a 30.9mm diameter, weighs 239 grams, and sells for 110 EURO. It's also available in an aluminum version for 75 EURO.
Perhaps the raddest part of the Sam Hill collection are his custom pedals. When designing his own pedal, Sam wanted the longest pins possible, though this might not be realistic for the average rider. As a result, Nukeproof has included long pins but put washers behind the pins, providing you with the option to remove them if you really want to get maximum grip.
While Sam wanted the flattest pedal possible, these have a slightly concave shape to them which cradles your foot through the rough stuff. Internally they use two sealed bearings and a bushing. Expect the production versions to use a green colored axle consistent with Sam's new signature edition Nukeproof Pulse downhill bike.
