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.

Nukeproof's kids lineup expands with new 14" and 16" options, plus a balance bike.

A first look at the Scout Comp hardtail, the most interesting build and potentially the best value in Nukeproof's mountain bicycle lineup.
Creative, min-maxed parts mix on the Comp build
Excellent packaging with reusable straps and minimal plastic
Good geometry chart with sagged and un-sagged numbers
Mix-and-matched tire sidewall setup (softer front, harder rear)
SRAM DB8 brakes offer positive feel, good value
Deore M6100 drivetrain shifts well
Easy assembly, gears shifted perfectly out of the box
Frame looks nice, seat stays tie into top tube
House brand components (headset, bottom bracket) seem fine
Nukeproof offers aftermarket parts in various colors
Nukeproof USA not shipping to Canada, no Canadian dealers
Preferred 2.6" tires but 29er comes with 2.35"
Z2 fork only 130mm travel, not consistent with lineup
Z2 fork feels 'blech' out of the box, needs service
Sharp, untrimmed zip ties on an otherwise good build
Cable routing to shifter is weird; twinning brake and shift housing fixed it
SunRace cassette doesn't shift as well as Shimano under heavy load
House-brand hubs have slower engagement than aftermarket

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
Descending composure
Not the most playful
BB slightly low for tech

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
