Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying MTB Frames. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Nukeproof Dissent 290 DH Frame 2020.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Nukeproof Dissent 290 DH Frame 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new MTB Frames. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling MTB Frames. Brands like Nukeproof are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the MTB Frames category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for MTB Frames.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: Nukeproof Dissent 290 DH Frame 2020With racing in its DNA, the lower weight and increased suspension performance of this Dissent 290 frame comes from being developed and tested in conjunction with the world’s fastest racers. The new Dissent platform shares some similarities with Nukeproof’s Pulse at first glance, but by digging a little deeper it impresses in quite different ways.New and Improved Nukeproof Frame A simplified design, to drop the weight and increase the front triangle stiffness, and a more progressive leverage rate for increased mid-stroke-support, makes the bike pump better, sit higher in the travel, improve stability in corners and improve the liveliness of the ride. The most obvious structural change is an all-new suspension design. In a move away from the Fallout Linkage, the Dissent’s rocker link is now positioned on the outside of the seat tube, rather than tucked inside a clamshell as before. This reduces the frame weight while increasing the front triangle stiffness at the same time.The suspension platform now uses a push, rather than a pull link, helping to reduce the loads and stresses on the frame, saving further weight and improving durability. The result of this is a frame which weighs over 400g lighter than the Pulse. The Dissent platform was originally conceived by Nukeproof’s engineers as a concept to test several progression curve theories at once. However, in turning the theory into reality, it created something much better than expected, and the prototype won on its international debut at Crankworx festival’s Garbanzo Downhill race with Sam Hill. Low-Weighted, High-Performance, Alloy Suspension Frame It is not uncommon for different World Cup riders to want a slightly different characteristic to one another, depending on factors such as their riding style and whether they run flat pedals or not. The Dissent takes this into account with an adjustable main pivot flip-chip, designed to essentially work like a bottomless token for a coil shock. It also offers riders the choice of four main pivot positions, which alter how progressive the suspension is. Cleverly, the geometry and travel do not change between positions. (Note: The sag difference between each setting is around 1% so you should not need a different spring rate.)The Main pivot flip-chips are fast and simple to change and give a tailored factory set up for every rider. Further custom tuning can be done via our new three-position adjustable chainstay features interchangeable dropout inserts. The chainstay flip-chips allow you to alter the wheelbase by 5-10mm depending on the type of track you’re riding, your height or riding style. Other standout features of the frame include: Custom-tuned rear shock configuration Internal cable routing Enduro Bearings Threaded, 83mm BB Boost 157mm rear axle spacing 3D-contoured frame protection Three-stage Dissent linkage 4-position adjustable linkage progression chip system 3-position adjustable chainstay lengthThe combination of frame adaptability, a custom hydroformed 6061 aluminium tubeset, a confidence-inspiring 63-degree head angle and 190mm of travel from the new Dissent platform make this bike the privateers dream. The centrally-positioned shock and linkage system ensure optimum handling while other features include a true 1.5‚Äù head tube, ISCG 05 mounts and a 157mm x 12mm rear axle to keep things stable at the rear.
