Nukeproof Cub-Scout 24 Sport Youth Mountain Bike (Acolyte)

The Cub-Scout 24 Sport features an alloy frame that is strong and lightweight, giving younger riders confidence to develop their riding style while RST First suspension forks ensure all-terrain control and traction. Nukeproof has equipped it with a Microshift Acolyte 8-Speed groupset that includes a wide-ranging 12-42T cassette and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon 24″ wheels wrapped in Tubeless Ready Maxxis tyres that are ideal for riding anywhere. The ideal hardtail MTB for single-track trail riding, laps at the bike park and long-distance off-road adventures with the family – the Cub-Scout 24 is an excellent stepping stone into the world of mountain bike riding.

Engineered for Young Off-Road Trail Riders

The Cub-Scout 24 Sport is not just another kids bike: taking inspiration from Nukeproof’s award-winning Scout adult hardtail range, the Cub-Scout 24” 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.
