Nukeproof: Strong comeback and lineup for 2026

Nukeproof 2026

The iconic brand of the 90s is back: Nukeproof has been part of the Ofelec AG range since January 2026. With modern gravity, enduro, and race bikes, the brand is aimed at ambitious mountain bike enthusiasts. Developed with World Cup teams, built for the toughest trails and races.

Since January 2026, Nukeproof has been expanding the Ofelec AG product range and targeting gravity, enduro, and performance bikers. The cult brand of the 90s is back—with a complete MTB range from kids' bikes to downhill bikes under the motto: "It's an attitude." Modern geometries and a striking image are part of the package – bikes for the toughest races and the craziest rides, with a touch of madness.

The comeback is accompanied by a strong commitment to racing, giving the brand visibility and testing under the most extreme conditions. The Nukeproof Axess Racing Team rides in the Downhill World Cup with Joe Breeden, Mille Johnset, Louise-Anna Ferguson, and Camden Rutherford, among others. Their World Cup experience flows directly into the further development of the gravity bikes. In cross-country, Bart Brentjes' KMC Nukeproof MTB Racing Team is at the start, including Julian Schelb and Kelsey Urban, reigning US champion in XCO.

At the heart of the downhill segment is the further developed Dissent. The carbon high-pivot frame with 200 mm of travel aims for calm, traction, and stability. Rock Shox Boxxer fork, Super Deluxe shock absorber, and Sram X01 DH gears are tuned for racing speed and hardline riding.

For XCO and fast laps, Nukeproof presents the new Hyperfly: with 120 mm of travel, it is a state-of-the-art down-country bike ridden by the XCO team. A lightweight carbon frame, modern geometry, and efficient tuning make it the race tool for today's technically demanding XCO tracks.

In addition to push bikes, Nukeproof is also significantly expanding its e-MTB portfolio. A selection of Bosch CX enduro bikes and a model series with the DJI Avinox drive system will be available from summer 2026.
