Nukeproof is blazing a trail with the new Megawatt Carbon, one of the first e-bikes to feature the new Sram Eagle Powertrain. \n
Nukeproof stands as a prominent figure in the mountain bike industry, known for its playful character that mirrors the carefree spirit of mountain biking enthusiasts. Nukeproof boasts an array of impressive models with both electric and traditional non-electric bikes. The brand continues to push the boundaries of innovation, particularly in the realm of e-MTBs, as it has just pulled the covers off its newest model: the Megawatt Carbon.
In the past, it relied on Shimano EP8 motorization, but it has now transitioned to the Sram system, boasting a powerful Brose motor rated at 90 Nm of torque. This model offers two variants: the Pro and RS, both featuring lightweight carbon fiber frames. To enhance stability and balance, the battery is cleverly integrated into the downtube of the carbon frame.

Diagnosing anthropogenic carbon emissions: A 'carbon dioxide checkup' of Earth's healthSince 2020, many countries have pledged their plans for 'carbon peak and carbon neutrality'. Managing anthropogenic emissions, especially from major industries, is crucial for addressing global warming and promoting sustainable growth. However, existing emission records lack transparency and accuracy due to limited knowledge of CO2 emissions from cities and key sectors, leading to uncertainty in the global carbon budget and hindering carbon asset management across industries.

Rock organic carbon oxidation CO2 release offsets silicate weathering sinkMountain uplift and erosion have regulated the balance of carbon between Earth’s interior and atmosphere, where prior focus has been placed on the role of silicate mineral weathering in CO2 drawdown and its contribution to the stability of Earth’s climate in a habitable state1–5. However, weathering can also release CO2 as rock organic carbon (OCpetro) is oxidized at the near surface6,7; this important geological CO2 flux has remained poorly constrained3,8. We use the trace element rhenium in combination with a spatial extrapolation model to quantify this flux across global river catchments3,9. We find a CO2 release of \n \n \n \n $${68}_{-6}^{+18}$$\n \n megatons of carbon annually from weathering of OCpetro in near-surface rocks, rivalling or even exceeding the CO2 drawdown by silicate weathering at the global scale10. Hotspots of CO2 release are found in mountain ranges with high uplift rates exposing fine-grained sedimentary rock, such as the eastern Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains and the Andes. Our results demonstrate that OCpetro is far from inert and causes weathering in regions to be net sources or sinks of CO2. This raises questions, not yet fully studied, as to how erosion and weathering drive the long-term carbon cycle and contribute to the fine balance of carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, biosphere and lithosphere2,11. Silicate weathering of uplifted rock depletes atmospheric CO2, but oxidation of revealed rock organic carbon supplies CO2, offsetting depletion to a degree dependent on regional geological history.
