We are big fans of the humble hardtail here at Nukeproof. The Hardtail is often mooted as the best way to develop your bike handling skills, and we couldnt agree more. Mastering a hardtail will sharpen your riding, forcing you to read the trail ahead, improving line choice, brake control, balance and cornering. As there is no rear suspension to compensate for lack of skill, you are forced to concentrate, stay light through rough terrain, pump where possible to carry speed and stay smooth. If you can be fast on a hardtail then you are fast on anything. The Nukeproof Scout is a hardtail built for riders who want to push their progression. Born from a gravity-focused mindset, it’s designed to allow the rider to attack the trail with confidence—whether carving singletrack, sessioning technical lines, or just having fun with friends. Agile, playful, and capable well beyond expectation, the Scout rewards commitment and encourages creativity on the trail. Its updated riding position and refined geometry deliver a balanced blend of efficiency on the climbs and stability on the descents, giving you the control you need to ride harder, faster, and with more confidence. More than just a bike, the Scout carries a unique attitude and a loyal community. Owning one means joining a passionate and active community of souls who appreciate the purity, challenge, and fun that only a hardcore hardtail can deliver. Welcome to the world of Scoutin’ About. The third-generation Scout is the best one yet.
