To kick things off for Retro Week here on GMBN Tech we managed to track down a Nukeproof Reactor from 1997. Doddy takes a look at all the retro tech featured on it and makes some comparisons with his modern day Nukeproof Scout to see how far we’ve come!

What do you think of the reactor?🤔 If you'd like to contribute captions and video info in your language, here's the link 👍 https://gmbn.tech/iH Watch more on GMBN Tech... 📹 https://gmbn.eu/RetroVsModernXTR 🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sounds Domancy - Senchi Heavy Heart - Chris Shards Submit your content here: https://upload.gmbn.com/tech Brought to you by the world’s largest mountain bike channel, the Global Mountain Bike Network (GMBN), GMBN Tech goes deeper into the bikes, kit and technology stories that help fuel your rides.
