Owning one myself I can tell you this is the pinnacle of cycling quality and at a great price point on this sale. Some will argue it isn't 12x but the ratios are great anyway at 11-46T and the rest of the spec is what you would expect as a perfect base to work from.

27.5 version on here too !

Details

The Scout 290 Race is the ideal hardtail mountain bike (MTB) for general trail riding, fast-singletrack sessions and long-distance all-mountain epics. It features a strong and lightweight alloy frame that is engineered to be agile, durable and versatile. Nukeproof has equipped it with RockShox Recon Silver suspension forks and a Shimano Deore 10-Speed groupset with an 11-46T wide-ranging cassette and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls fast and stable upon Nukeproof Neutron V2 hubs and WTV ST i30 Tubeless Ready rims wrapped in Schwalbe Magic Mary and Nobby Nic tyres.

  • Intended Use: Trail / All Mountain / Enduro
  • Available in Sizes Medium to XXLarge
  • 140mm of Suspension Travel
  • Custom triple butted hydro-formed Alloy
  • Weight: 13.85kg (Medium, tubeless)

**The Hardtail:**Often mooted as the perfect style bike to master your first pedal strokes into the world of mountain biking or the best way to develop your bike handling skills. Mastering a hardtail will sharpen your skills from perfecting your balance point on the bike through to being creative with the trail ahead reading natural features to generate speed. One thing is for sure though; you shouldn’t underestimate what this hardtail is truly capable of.

The all-new Scout is a graduate from the school of gravity. Its geometry is on the “aggressive” side of the coin, designed to attack the trail ahead. The new pedalling position, developed using Nukeproof’s Saddle Offset theory, will propel you efficiently up the trail ready for the gnarliest descent you can handle. The new geometry adds to the all-round capability of the Scout. Improved riding position and sizing combined with a low bottom bracket enhances your control in the corners. The Scout is a versatile frame that is ready to scout out endless single track, session technical enduro trails or just hoon around like you’re auditioning for the latest “Scoutin’ About” video epic.

The Nukeproof Scout is the embodiment of the Nukeproof attitude. When riding a Scout, you become part of something special and every ride of this hardcore hardtail rewards every last drop of your skill and commitment. You are inducted into something a little bit special too, that subtle nod of appreciation from other Scout owners that you too know what a special frame this is, through to the support and community that has grown around Scout ownership.

The New Scout, welcome to the world of Scoutin’ About, it really is an attitude.

The 3rd generation the Scout has been tweaked to be the finest vintage of Scout.

    Shame it doesn't come with a dropper as they're a bit of a faff to fit with internal cable routing, but at this price its a fair compromise.

    The only bit I find troublesome is the cable into lever part. My eyesight is not great. THe rest is easy really.

    Great bike at a great price, 1 x 12 would have been nice but you can always upgrade.

    is there on a warranty on the Nuke Proof performance? Im skeptical it will take blasts in the order of magnitude of 50 megatons tbh..

    if you can shred it to the extent of 50mt you deserve to keep buying them and should feel honoured at the cost. lol

    50958644-S7sDB.jpgThis is my yellow version of this. I built it up from the frame myself. It is a 27.5 wheel like the other listing I have put on here but this is a real pro hartail. If I had paid in full for my build, it would have cost just shy over £2,100 but certain discounts were had and I saved a lot bringing it sparts and value in the mid spec range.

    That all screams how goo d a deal this £900 version is. The V3 frame is £500 on its own. The V2 was £350.
