Weapons of Choice – Riders and their bikes at the EWS in Finale Ligure

Sam Hill – Nukeproof Mega 275

Let’s cut to the chase: Sam Hill’s going to be racing on the downhill circuit as well as the Enduro World Series – although the latter is where he’ll be focusing. His enduro weapon is the Nukeproof Mega 275, with which he’s already bagged two second places (Wicklow, Ireland and La Thuile, Italy) and one top spot in Valberg, France, out of just five starts. We plucked up courage to get a bike check with Sam on the beach in Finale Ligure.
