Sam Hill had a rough go at the first Enduro World Series in Rotorua. Lagging from flu-like symptoms, he still managed a 13th place, but definitely not the result the 2018 champ expected. The CRC Nukeproof crew is in Tasmania feeling fresh and ready to rip. @maddogboris caught up with Jacy Shumilak, Sam's long-time mechanic, to go over the details of Sam's carbon Nukeproof Mega. The stock medium frame Sam uses runs 27.5-inch wheels and gets 165mm of rear travel. Prototype Sam Hill signature flat pedals are mounted up with a different-than-stock shape. His cockpit also features signature components. SRAM/RockShox provide drivetrain, brake and suspension duties. He has the new wireless Reverb AXS and Jacy hints at being on the wireless AXS drivetrain possibly at the next race in Madeira. Sam's on the Lyrik with the new damper up front and a Super Deluxe with a higher volume air can for rear suspension. Signature Mavic wheels keep his Michelin tires on and out back Sam uses a Nukeproof ARD insert. Look over the bike and get nerdy with Jacy in the audio.
