Nukeproof Cub-Scout 26 Sport

Nukeproof's new Cub-Scout 26” Sport is not just another kids bike: taking inspiration from their award-winning Scout adult hardtail range, the Cub-Scout 26” has been designed from the ground-up as a proper mini-mountain bike. It has been designed to allow kids to learn the ropes of riding, inspire confidence on the trails and act as the perfect platform for progression. Developed and tested with the help of Nukeproof's own children, they have created a class leading lightweight kids bike range to inspire and nurture budding future World Cup or EWS winners!

The new range of Cub-Scout bikes are available in 20”, 24” or 26” options; meaning that there should be a bike to suit kids of all sizes from aged 5 and up. Each bike features a lightweight custom butted 6061 Alloy frameset with bang up to date long, low and slack kids specific geometry.

Kids Specific Components:
Proper fit and function of components is essential for kids bikes because adult components are not optimised for smaller people. To ensure that these bikes fit and function perfectly, Nukeproof took the time to test and develop our own or work with their partners to select the best kids-specific components we could find on the market.

Kid Specific parts include:

Cub-Scout 26” Frame
X-Fusion RC32 Air Suspension forks
Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes with short stroke levers for smaller hands
Nukeproof Neutron Jr Saddle
Nukeproof Neutron Jr Handlebar (20” – 600mm/24” – 640mm/26” – 700mm)
Nukeproof Neutron Jr Grips
160mm Sunrace Square Taper Crank
WTB STi 30 TCS Rims (Tubeless Ready)
