CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW MEGAWATT CARBON PURCHASE AND WELCOME TO THE NUKEPROOF FAMILY!
The Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon was born from a shared heritage of performance. Nukeproof and SRAM teamed together to
bring you the ultimate e-bike experience — the latest and greatest in eMTB technology wrapped in a carbon frame designed
to wallop the nastiest trails on the planet. Developed in collaboration with the team at SRAM, the Megawatt was used as the
testbed for the first-of-its-kind Eagle Powertrain as it was prototyped over two years.
The SRAM Eagle Powertrain is an integrated eMTB ecosystem that meshes SRAM AXS components, the Eagle Transmission,
and a powerful drive unit into one cohesive package. All systems work in unison to bring you an experience elevated above
all previous e-bikes.
Settled and stable yet playful and agile, the Megawatt has earned a reputation for surefootedness in terrain where most
bikes fight for traction. We didn’t want to lose those qualities, so the rear linkage, suspension kinematic, and geometry has
only been slightly tweaked from the alloy model.
Your Megawatt Carbon has been meticulously engineered using T700/800 carbon with intricate features and design cues,
maximising the bikes efficiency, rider experience and offering ultimate performance. The result is a carbon E-Enduro
machine that handles like no other and is purpose built for the new SRAM Eagle Powertrain.
This manual will help you get familiar with your Megawatt Carbon, it’s SRAM Eagle Powertrain system, and will serve as a
helpful resource for setting-up and maintaining your bike. Please read this manual carefully to help look after and enjoy
your Megawatt Carbon to its fullest. If there is any doubts or queries with the set-up, use, or maintenance of your Megawatt
Carbon, please consult with an authorised dealer. Full dealer listings can be found at

Please ensure you also read the
GENERAL BIKE MANUAL before your initial ride.
CONGRATULATIONS!

SECTION 2 – MAIL ORDER ASSEMBLY AND INITIAL SET-UP
This section details how to get your bike ready for setting up and riding out of the box, this will be relevant for mail order
bikes, generally the following will be done already if purchased and collected through a local authorised Nukeproof dealer.
Do not turn on your bike at this point.
FIT BARS
1. Unscrew face plate bolts from stem with a 4mm Hex
Key, remove stem face plate and bolts, set aside safely
for installing later.
2. Place bars to stem, using the set-up lines to position
the bars centrally. Ensure brake lines are not tangled at
this point.
3. Tighten the face plate bolts to the stem with a 4mm
Hex Key, start with the top bolts and move to the bottom
bolts. Ensure bolt torque is evenly spread around all
four bolts before fully tightening. Reference the torque
details on the stem.
4. You can adjust the roll of the bars back or forward at
this point to your personal preference. Ensure the bars
are still centered when adjusting and use the markings
on the bars to help. This is a good point to adjust position
of PODS and brakes levers.

crank and pedal.

LEFT PEDAL RIGHT PEDAL
PLASTIC PEDALS
Plastic pedal bodies have an “L” moulded in the body indicating the left pedal (non-driveside) and “R” moulded indicating
the right pedal (driveside).

FITTING
1. Check the threads on your crankarm are clean and have
no damage.
2. Take your RIGHT pedal and grease the axle.
3. Line the pedal up to the driveside crank, place your
8mm hex key through the driveside crank and into the
back of the pedal axle. Start to turn the hex key in a
clockwise direction (as you look at the crank towards the
handlebars). There should be no resistance as you turn
the hex key, if there is resistance STOP immediately and
check you are fitting the correct pedal and the threads
are correctly aligned between the axle and crank. Do not
force the pedal into the crank.
4. Take your LEFT pedal and grease the axle.
5. Line the pedal up to the non-driveside crank, place your
8mm hex key through the non-driveside crank and into
the back of the pedal axle. Start to turn the hex key in a
anticlockwise direction (as you look at the crank towards
the handlebars). There should be no resistance as you
turn the hex key, if there is resistance STOP immediately
and check you are fitting the correct pedal and the
threads are correctly aligned between the axle and crank.
Do not force the pedal into the crank.
6. With both pedals now on the crank arms, tighten to
30Nm with a torque wrench.
Your pedals are now fitted and safe to ride.
