Summary
The Nukeproof Scout is a trail-ready hardtail that excels in descents with its stable and grippy performance, thanks to its well-thought-out geometry and quality components. It offers a smooth, controlled ride, particularly noted for its Marzocchi Z2 fork and efficient Shimano Deore 12-speed transmission. However, some reviews point out sizing issues and a slightly dated frame design.

A first look at the Scout Comp hardtail, the most interesting build and potentially the best value in Nukeproof's mountain bicycle lineup.
Great geometry chart with sagged numbers
Clever tire spec mix (harder rear, softer front)
High-value parts mix on Comp model
Eco-friendly packaging with reusable straps
Easy assembly with well-tuned gears and brakes out of the box
Plenty of tire clearance
House brand components seem decent
Dropper post length options per size
31.8mm bar-stem interface
DB8 brakes are a highlight, better than pricier models
130mm Marzocchi Z2 fork feels harsh out of the box, needs service
Not available in Canada yet
29er version limited to 2.35" tires, reviewer prefers 2.6"
Zip ties not flush-cut, sharp edges
Cable routing for rear derailleur was messy, needed rerouting
SunRace cassette doesn't shift as well as Shimano Hyperglide+ under load

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

We’ve seen a number of XC hardtails drop lately. Canyon, Orbea, Trek and BMC to name a few. We also saw the other end of the spectrum in the Kona Honzo ESD. None of these are “normal bikes.” In fact, the most high-profile normal hardtail we saw was the Yeti ARC, and it may just…

The Nukeproof Scout is back once again with updated components, new colors, and the same ridiculously fun hardtail design.

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.
Buttery smooth, silent ride
The front end is a little low
