Expirience with the Nukeproof Scout 290 Race

Ludwig Döhl With the Scout 290 Race , the Brits deliver unfiltered riding fun in demanding terrain. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Nukeproof Hardtail. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. At the seating position, Nukeproof combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Nukeproof is probably not the right bike for you. But the Nukeproof Hardtail still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Nukeproof installed higher-quality wheels.
