Chassis Updates
Updated with longer geometry to accommodateeven the tallest of riders, Nukeproof's engineers took the opportunity tosoften the ride with a profile seat stay assembly offering more compliancewithout compromising the torsional stiffness of the frame under pedalling.
Paired with the new Boost 148 rear axle spacing,helping build a stronger, stiffer wheel, the acceleration of the new Scout 290Sport has been notably improved as well as allowing additional tyre clearancefor up to 2.5 tyres on 29 wheels. (Note: Can be fitted with up to 2.8 tyreson 27.5+ wheels).
