Nukeproof Kilowatt with Avinox: The Power to Ride Everywhere

  • Nieuws
Nukeproof proudly introduces the all-new Kilowatt e-bike range, a completely new platform developed around the powerful Avinox e-bike system. Available in two frame variants—Alloy and Carbon—the Kilowatt sets a new benchmark in the long-travel all-round e-MTB segment. With 160 mm of front travel and 150 mm at the rear, it sits squarely in the most popular category in modern mountain biking, where versatility and performance converge.

The Kilowatt is designed for riders who want one bike capable of doing it all. From quick after-work laps on local trails to adventures at iconic destinations, this e-MTB delivers the perfect balance of efficiency, control, and playfulness. Thanks to its mullet wheel setup and the option to run a full 29-inch configuration via a flip chip, the bike can be easily tailored to different riding styles and terrain. Nukeproof’s signature geometry ensures a confident and intuitive ride feel, combined with low overall weight and impressive power.

At the heart of the Kilowatt range are two completely new frames that have been intentionally designed to closely resemble one another. The alloy frame was developed in collaboration with a new manufacturing partner with a background in complex casting technologies from the automotive industry. This expertise was leveraged to create tube shapes that visually align with the carbon frame, giving both versions a unified, premium appearance. The result is an alloy frame that is not only robust and high-performing, but also elevated in terms of design and finish.

Unique Combination

Both frames feature Nukeproof’s signature single-piece suspension linkage, increasing stiffness between the front and rear triangles while delivering a more direct ride feel. Internal cable routing has been engineered using a tube-in-tube system, ensuring easy maintenance while maintaining a clean and streamlined aesthetic.

During the development of the Kilowatt, the Avinox system was deliberately selected for its unique combination of power, weight, range, and compact integration. The goal was to create an e-bike that rides as closely as possible to an analogue mountain bike, and thanks to Avinox’s compact battery options, this was successfully achieved. The Carbon Factory model weighs just 22.2 kg (size medium, without pedals), with no compromises in performance or specification.

The Kilowatt’s specification has been carefully curated with durable, high-quality components specifically suited to e-MTB riding. Several models are equipped with powerful SRAM Maven brakes, while the entry-level model features DB4 brakes. The carbon models are fitted with DT Swiss e-bike wheelsets, and the entire range comes with Schwalbe tyres designed for demanding gravity use. The carbon models also feature tyres with radial construction for enhanced control and grip.

Deliberate Choice

All models are equipped with an integrated 800Wh battery, except for the smallest frame size, which uses a 600Wh battery due to downtube length constraints. The decision to use a non-removable battery was made to achieve the cleanest and most integrated frame design possible, based on our own experience as riders. Across the range, the Avinox M2S motor is used, except on the entry-level model, which features the Avinox M2. In doing so, Nukeproof remains committed to delivering high-performance bikes at a price point accessible to more riders. With a starting price of €4,499 and a top-tier model at €8,999, the Kilowatt offers exceptional value within the high-performance e-MTB segment.

The Kilowatt is the result of years of experience, continuous development, and a clear vision: to build an e-bike that is not only powerful, but also intuitive and genuinely fun to ride. By combining advanced technology, refined geometry, and a strong focus on ride feel, this is a bike that excels in every situation. This is not a compromise—it is a true do-it-all machine that encourages you to ride further, explore more, and simply have more fun on the trail.

We built this bike for ourselves—for where we ride and how we ride—and that is exactly why it resonates with such a large percentage of mountain bikers around the world. The Kilowatt is not just about the Avinox system; it is about how seamlessly that system has been integrated into a platform that delivers maximum performance and ride enjoyment.

The new Kilowatt will be launched at Eurobike and will be available at selected dealers later this year.
