Review: Nukeproof Scout 290

May 2022 · Robert Johnston

The Nukeproof Scout 290 is an aggressive all-mountain hardtail that offers a nice blend of downhill handling and a comfortable climbing position.

Nukeproof Introduces the Scout Hardtail

Sep 2020

Oct 2019 · Alan Muldoon

The Nukeproof Scout 275 Comp has seen a lot of development. Its low-slung profile remains, but the bike has been stretched to a more generous cockpit.

Lows

Nukeproof Scout 290 Comp review

Jun 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Light, forgiving distance-shrinker with the stability and control to shred the craziest descents. Buy if you want a great, efficient yet enduro-enjoyable package for riding all day long

Highs
  • Relatively lightweight, impressively smooth ride, super-low and slack geometry, sorted wheel pack and cockpit

Lows
  • Low-slung bottom bracket rules out plus-tyre use, short-stroke dropper and narrow saddle
