The bigger wheels didn’t help the Mega 290 in the playfulness department, but I think much of the Giga’s strength here relates to its suspension design and rear shock. It popped off obstacles with more amplitude than my personal Mega 275, which has 15mm less rear travel than the Giga. I suspect Nukeproof made it a priority to give the Giga a playful feel, and they did an impressive job achieving it, in my opinion.
