I've been checking out this 2020 nukeproof mega on FB marketplace ,what's making me slightly unsure about this bike is that the original shock and fork have been replaced, the rockshox yari 170 mm has been replaced with a 160mm pike,and also the rockshox Super Deluxe has been replaced with a rockshox monarch.The trails where I live are pretty gnarly and rough.Also I wish to race to race this bike in enduro in the future.
Help would be very appreciated. Thank you

Sounds fine for your use case but why have the shocks been replaced. The existing ones don’t look great. Sounds like someone doesn’t do their maintenance
Yes, it’s a great bike for Enduro. Just get a rear coil shock for it and sell the Yari get a fox 38 performance elite
I’m pretty sure it will be enough. I have a friend who rides a specialized status 160 and he went on one of the gnarliest trails in Croatia (dh greda) and he was actually doing pretty fine. if the trails around you are pretty long, it will be better to get a higher travel bike since you will get much less tired and your hands won’t hurt. but if they’re short, this will be enough.
Good enough but if your trails really are gnarly like actual mountains gnarly, you could do better.
I would say yes.
Just a little maintenance first.
Doesn’t the Monarch use different sizing than the super deluxe? Seems weird.
I’d be more concerned about the rider than the bike
