Nukeproof Pulse, our next generation downhill race frame.
The evolution of our highly regarded Nukeproof Scalp, the Pulse is the product of two seasons of tweaking, tuning, testing and valuable rider input from Team CRC/Nukeproof. The outcome? A premium performance frame which combines updated geometry and enhanced design features for a hugely improved ride dynamic, ready to take on the best in the world. planted in its DNA. Built using T6 6061 aluminium with custom triple butted hydroformed tubing for a perfectly balanced strength to weight combination, the Pulse also boasts an adjustable chainstay option courtesy of our ‘Style Fit’ system. Whatever the hill throws at you, we have the weapon to match it – allowing you to alter the wheelbase by 10mm depending on the type of track you’re riding, your height or riding style (long setting = 445mm, short setting = 435mm). This bike will perform above and beyond your expectations on any terrain.
It’s all about the detail
Our engineers designed the Pulse with a view to improving every individual part, from tubing alongside our Team Mechanics, we’ve made the Pulse not only functional and dependable improved bolt and shock access too.
The detail’s in the ride
At the beating heart of the Pulse is an instinctive platform that’ the world’s highest, fastest, steepest and most gnarly trails – pushing you to ride on the edge bike and a smoother suspension feel throughout the stroke of the shock. We’ve also slimmed bump compliance without compromising strength. Our Split Forge System allows us to utilise the material properties of the frame to provide a stronger yet lighter yoke while reducing the
number of welds, allowing a larger area to disperse any loads and forces
