Adam Brayton's Dissent 297

THE GOLDFISH

ADAM BRAYTON'S WORLD CUP DISSENT 297  

As for everyone 2020 wasn't quite the year you could have imagined back in the 19/20 off season. But for Adam, living in the Lake District has it's perks. A summer of digging his own trails & tracks, time at home to explore the Lakes in the summer (a luxury he's not had in 15+ years of racing) and even becoming a future YouTube sensation (Check out the Gas to Vlog).

For Nukeproof, working with the Hope Technology team ace has been an awesome opportunity and great fun. We're stoked to see Nukeproof represented on the Elite Downhill World Cup stage with our Dissent frame. It's been a opportunity to development the Dissent and with Adam, test the switch to a mix wheel set up (29" wheel up front 27.5" wheel out back). After a season of testing with granddad (Adam) and grandson (Elliott Heap) the Dissent 297 is now on sale in Medium, Large and XL.

With the adjustment available on the Dissent (4 main pivot options and 3 wheelbase options) the extended off season has allowed Adam to really dial in a set up to find a place he's comfortable and fully confident to send it. Going into the delayed World Cup season, his Dissent is more dialled than ever, plus it has "Goldfish theme and graphics" (don't ask us why, we leave that bit to Adam).
