A Confident, Capable Hardtail for Riders Starting Their Trail Journey
The 2027 Nukeproof Scout Race in Black is built for riders who want a dependable, confidence‑boosting hardtail that feels ready for real off‑road riding. As the entry point into the Scout range, the Race model delivers stable handling, reliable components, and a comfortable ride feel that helps new and progressing riders build skills on varied terrain. It’s designed for exploring local paths, tackling forest trails, and developing the fundamentals of mountain biking with a bike that feels predictable, durable, and easy to control.
Lightweight Alloy Frame with Proven Nukeproof Geometry
The Scout Race uses a lightweight aluminium frame shaped with Nukeproof’s proven trail geometry, giving riders a balanced, centred position that feels stable on descents and efficient on climbs. The frame’s proportions make the bike feel composed at speed while remaining agile enough for tight turns and uneven surfaces. Its durable construction ensures it can handle the knocks and scrapes of regular riding, while the Black finish gives the bike a clean, modern look that mirrors Nukeproof’s higher‑end hardtails.
Responsive Suspension for Comfort and Control
The Scout Race features a capable Rockshox Pyslo Silver RC suspension fork designed to smooth out bumps, roots, and rough ground, helping riders maintain traction and confidence on mixed terrain. The fork provides predictable support and comfort, making it ideal for riders who are beginning to explore more adventurous routes and want a bike that feels forgiving and easy to handle.
Wide‑Range Drivetrain for Everyday Versatility
A wide‑range 12 speed SRAM drivetrain gives the Scout Race the flexibility needed for climbs, flats, and descents. The gearing is chosen to be intuitive and reliable, allowing riders to find a comfortable cadence whether cruising local paths or tackling steeper gradients. It’s a setup that supports progression and encourages longer, more varied rides.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes for Reliable Stopping Power
SRAM DB4 hydraulic disc brakes give the Scout Race strong, consistent stopping power in all conditions, from dry hardpack to wet and muddy trails. Their predictable feel helps riders stay in control on descents and navigate technical sections with confidence, making them an essential part of the bike’s trail‑ready design.
Wheels and Tyres Built for Mixed Terrain
The wheels and tyres are chosen to give the Scout Race a stable, planted feel on varied terrain. The Schwalbe Magic Mary 2.4" tyres offer reassuring grip without feeling heavy, helping riders maintain momentum and control as they explore new routes. Whether on gravel paths, woodland trails, or local singletrack, the bike feels smooth, predictable, and ready for progression.
Black: Clean, Modern, and Ready for the Trail
Finished in Black, the Scout Race has a sleek, understated aesthetic that reflects its dependable, trail‑ready character. It’s clean, sharp, and ready to ride — a bike that looks as capable as it feels.
