Nukeproof Cub-Scout 26 Sport Youth Mountain Bike (Acolyte)

The Cub-Scout 26 Sport features a durable and lightweight alloy frame that is fitted with 120mm X-Fusion suspension forks, a Microshift Acolyte 1×8-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 12-42T Tooth cassette and powerful Clarks Clout hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls on Boost Joytec hubs and Tubeless Ready WTB STi30 rims wrapped in high-grip Maxxis Minion DHF 26×2.5” tyres.

Engineered for Young Off-Road Trail Riders

The Cub-Scout 26 Sport 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 ages 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 are 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.
