Expirience with the Nukeproof Scout 290 Comp

Ludwig Döhl With the Scout 290 Comp , the Brits deliver unfiltered riding fun in demanding terrain. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Nukeproof. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Nukeproof Scout 290 Comp is probably not the right bike for you. For 2069 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential.
