The Good
Value for money
The Bad
only a minor thing , but the external cabling on the down tube lets it down aesthetically
Overall Review:

On a value for money basis , im not sure you could do better , And im not so much talking about components , more performance.

I came off an opposition bike , a higher spec model , full carbon etc . $2000 more expensive . 

And this Alloy Nukeproof leaves it for dead, faster , more composed in the rough, and climbs better. 

I would imagine the higher spec models are better still, but if this is at your budget point, you cant go wrong, this bike is so capable and ready to race as is .
