Like the title , just seen these and they look very Reverbish and as I now have a 29er with a 31.6 tube I'm considering one but want to find some sort of real life reviews on it before splashing the £169.

It's N+1 Tony, great for local XC although I mangled the XT rear mech in the mud this week 😆
Only downside is its a bit of a shock getting used to hammering down descents with 100mm of travel.....and to be fair I will make the decision regarding the dropper after Saturday's ride....see how many slaps in the nads I get 😆

For the money you are better off buying a reverb

Got a reverb on one bike and a gravity dropper on another.....gravity dropper is functional but heavy and has made any impacts feel like I have a steel rod attached from the back wheel. Gravity dropper is great but obviously has to be cared for and topped up with air now and again. I read a bit of the blurb on the Nukeproof and assume it has mechanical spring as opposed to air but still with hydraulic release remote and solid key ways....allegedly 😆

some blokes I know would Pay for that type of nad treatment Chris, Lol
and as l_Ache said, you'd prolly be better with the tried n tested Reverb over the Nukey pal.

29er ... pffft 😆
