Nukeproof Cub-Scout 26 Race Mountain Bike

The Cub-Scout 26 Race feature am alloy hardtail frame that is designed with geometry that takes inspiration from Nukeproof’s adult sized enduro bikes. Engineered to offer stable, agile and comfortable all-terrain performance for younger riders, Nukeproof has equipped it with a 120mm-travel Manitou Markhor suspension forks, a Shimano Deore 10-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-46T cassette and powerful Clarks Clout hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon Boost Nukeproof Neutron Tubeless Ready wheels wrapped in Tubeless Ready large volume 2.5” Maxxis Minion DHF tyres.

Engineered for Young Off-Road Trail Riders

The Cub-Scout 26 Race is not just another kids bike: taking inspiration from Nukeproof’s award-winning Scout adult hardtail range, the Cub-Scout 26 has been designed from the ground-up as a proper mini-hardtail 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 their own children, Nukeproof has created a class-leading lightweight kids bike range to inspire and nurture budding future World Cup or EWS winners.

The range of Cub-Scout Hardtails are available in 20”, 24” or 26” options. This means 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 their own or work with their partners to select the best kids-specific components they could find on the market.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

This video demonstrates assembly from a SMALL BOX.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
