Priced from £3,999/€4,499 (alloy) up to £7,999/€8,999 (carbon), it arrives in a fast-growing segment: the high-power electric mountain bike, with 130 to 150 Nm of torque depending on the version. Unveiled at Eurobike 2026, available later in the year.

Nukeproof, the British brand (Northern Ireland) known for its enduro mountain bikes, is entering the world of high-power electric mountain bikes with the Kilowatt. The choice of Avinox — the system powered by DJI — is clearly deliberate: it is one of the most talked-about motors of Eurobike 2026, already adopted by Canyon, Commencal, Megamo, Orbea and Forbidden.
Two motors, four builds
The Kilowatt will be available in four builds. The three higher-end configurations get the Avinox M2S motor: 1,300 W continuous, 1,500 W in boost, with 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in boost). The entry-level model makes do with the Avinox M2, more modest but still generous: 1,100 W peak, 125 Nm in boost.
The geometry is classic enduro: 150 mm of travel at the rear, 160 mm at the front, mixed 29/27.5″ wheels with the option of switching to 29/29″ via a flip-chip. The frame comes in 6061 T6 aluminium or UD carbon.
Price, the strong point of the package
This is where Nukeproof scores points. At £3,999 / €4,499 for the Kilowatt Alloy Comp, the Avinox-powered electric mountain bike becomes accessible to a wider audience. The Carbon Factory version climbs to £7,999 / €8,999, but stays below what some rivals charge in this segment.
The 800 Wh battery (600 Wh in size S) is integrated and non-removable, which has become the norm on this type of machine. The carbon model in size M is claimed at 22.2 kg.
Availability is set for “later in 2026” according to Nukeproof — the exact date is still to be confirmed. Shown at Eurobike in Frankfurt, the Kilowatt is part of a wave of powerful electric mountain bikes that reaches well beyond the long-standing specialists.
