Nukeproof Dissent 297 COMP Alloy Bike (GX DH)

Nukeproof Dissent 297 Comp Alloy Bike (GX DH)

The Dissent 297 Comp features an alloy frame with a modern gravity-optimised suspension platform, superb components and a 297 mixed-wheel standard. With a 29″ front wheel and a 27.5″ rear, this downhill (DH) bike rolls fast and stable through rough terrain while staying agile and playful. Nukeproof has equipped it with long-travel RockShox Boxxer Select forks, a Super Deluxe Coil Select rear shock and a SRAM GX DH 7-Speed groupset. This groupset includes a SRAM Descendant DH chainset, a downhill-specific GX DH 7-Speed 11-25T cassette and SRAM Guide RE hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon Sun-Ringle Duroc SD37 wheels wrapped in Tubeless Ready Michelin DH22 2.4″-wide tyres.

“It makes me want to race some World Cups again” – Sam Hill

Racing is in Nukeproof’s DNA. It comes from being developed and tested in conjunction with the world’s fastest racers.

Suspension design and frame details:

The Dissent platform was originally conceived by Nukeproof engineers as a concept to test several progression curve theories at once. However, in turning the theory into reality, we created something much better than expected, and the prototype won on its international debut at Crankworx festival’s Garbanzo Downhill race with Sam Hill.

Adjustable Suspension Main Pivot Flip Chip

It is not uncommon for different World Cup riders to want a slightly different characteristic to one another depending on factors such as their riding style and whether they run flat pedals or not. The Dissent takes this into account with an adjustable main pivot flip chip, designed to essentially work like a bottomless token for a coil shock. The Dissent Frame now offers riders the choice of 4 main pivot positions, which alter how progressive the suspension is. Cleverly the geometry and travel do not change between positions. Note: The sag difference between each setting is around 1% so you should not need a different spring rate.

The Main pivot flip chips are fast and simple to change and offer a tailored factory set up for every rider.

Further custom tuning can be done via new 3 position adjustable chainstay features interchangeable dropout inserts. The chainstay flip chips allow you to alter the wheelbase by 5-10mm depending on the type of track you’re riding, your height or riding style.

The combination of frame adaptability, a custom hydroformed 6061 aluminium tubeset, a confidence inspiring 63-degree head angle and 200mm of travel via our new Dissent platform make this bike the privateers dream. The centrally-positioned shock and linkage system ensure optimum handling while other features include a true 1.5” head tube, ISCG 05 mounts and a 157mm x 12mm rear axle to keep things stable at the rear.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
