Hi,
is there any nukeproof scout owners on here?I’m looking at getting a new hard tail,and I’m wanting something with a slckish head angle.
just wonderd what people’s views are on these?
thanks

29er version here, it’s good on the steep stuff, does a good impersonation of a hard-core hardtail. Quite stiff as the reviews say, but good value as a package if you get some discount.
Nukeproof dropper is slow, but unless you’re racing you get used to it.
SRAM neè avid DB9 brakes surprisingly good for budget items.
A carbon bar and some better grips might take the edge off, I have the Yari version so of course there’s the option of a Pike too.

29er pro owner here. I really like mine as well. It copes well with steep stuff but is a pretty good fast mile muncher to. The rear end is stiff so don’t expect it to be as comfy as a steel h/t, but I find it ok for 2/3 hr rides. Maybe not if you do lots of very rocky tracks but trail centres are fine. It’s slack but not super long. I’m a long armed 6′ and ride the large, it fits fine but I wouldn’t go shorter than the standard 50mm stem. Weights ok, running tubless with pedals its 28lbs.
