The Nucleus 275 VRS sits at the top of the Nucleus range, bridging the gap between entry and mid-level hardtails. With a lightweight aluminium frame and quality components, this Nucleus 275 VRS offers a fantastic package that provides unbeatable performance at this price point.

Lightweight Mechanical Formed 6061-T6 Aluminium Frame

A lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium frame provides a bombproof chassis for trail centre assaults. This light and responsive aluminium all-rounder has great upgrade potential when the time is right to fit a chainguide thanks to the ISCG tabs. The short headtube and low bottom bracket ensure a low of gravity to provide improved handling.
