Nukeproof Digger RS Alloy Bike

The Nukeproof Digger RS offers a top-level riding experience whether you’re clocking up training miles, embarking on a long-distance adventure or hitting all-terrain singletrack routes. Engineered to be strong, stiff, lightweight and compliant, this gravel adventure bike ticks all the boxes for every two-wheeled journey. It features a triple butted hydro-formed frame and RockShox Rudy Ultimate fork equipped with a SRAM Rival 1 1×11-Speed groupset that includes a wide-ranging 11-42-Tooth cassette and Rival hydraulic disc brakes. Nukeproof has also fitted the Digger RS with DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline 25 wheels wrapped in high-grip Schwalbe G-One BITE tyres.

What started during an intoxicated conversation some years ago, has ended up as a cult product in the Nukeproof range. Inspired by Nukeproof athletes and their desire for a do-it-all training bike with something a little extra; the Digger is a versatile vessel, blending “gravel bike” performance with the soul of a mountain bike. Be it commuting to work, gravel ride, overnight adventures rides, pub bike or doing some unimaginable riding like Elliot Heap in Nukeproof’s Digger edits, wherever you aim the Digger it will go.

Last updated in 2018, the Digger was due a refresh. The Gravel/Adventure category has evolved a lot over the last few years. Nukeproof wanted the V3 design to bring the Digger bang up to date with new features and geometry to make it even more versatile. The Digger was already a great bike, now even better taking the best ingredients from the V2 and evolving into the V3.

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.
