The Nukeproof Dissent Carbon brings wheel-size, progression, reach and chainstay length adjustments to race-proven downhill frame
Adjustments: Progression, Chainstay Length, ReachStarting Price: £2,999.99 Frameset with RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Air ShockIt’s been a long time coming, but since we first got eyes on the Nukeproof Dissent Carbon at Fort William last year, it has racked up a number of accolades underneath Rónán Dunne and Louise Ferguson.
It runs a full carbon frame, with aluminum links tying together its linkage-driven single-pivot suspension platform. That delivers 200mm of rear wheel travel, no matter the rear wheel size, and is paired with a 200mm travel fork sat at a head angle of 63°. Cables enter at the headtube and are fully guided with molded carbon tubes for ease of maintenance and rattle-free riding
All three main pivot positions deliver a curve with a relatively high starting ratio between 3.16 and 3.28 – much higher compared to that of the Dissent V1. Nukeproof tell us the aim here was to increase sensitivity in the early stroke, which will also allow riders to go up a spring rate without adding harshness. They also say this change makes the bike work better with air shocks, which is rather important given that both build options of the Dissent Carbon come with an air shock.
