Nukeproof Cub Scout 16

Nukeproof Cub Scout 16

If you are just coming from a balance bike or have outgrown your 14”, the Cub Scout 16” is ready to take you on the next leg of the trail. Designed for future athletes aged 5yrs upwards (105-120cm). the 16” version of the Cub Scout takes its DNA from its legendary Scout brethren as a true mountain bike.

Our team of discerning testers (our own children) have strict requirements such as single-speed gearing to keep things simple in those early pedalling days and short-reach brake levers (disc brakes), enabling even the smallest of hands to pull on the anchors when things get rowdy.

The 16” stabiliser is compatible, if pedalling takes a little longer to master. Standard throughout the whole Cub Scout range is our low standover height and saddle height adjuster, key to keeping the Cub Scout the weapon of choice for longer. As well as off-road tyres for maximum grip fitted on lightweight wheels to reduce sore legs.

Little hands and little feet call for components to suit. We’ve selected child-friendly components such as; Contoured rubber grip protection on the footplate, Kids specific saddle and seat post and smaller kid-specific handlebars and grips as well as small platform pedals. As mountain bikers, we know having the all-important touchpoints dialled ensures comfort and confidence.

Not quite ready for 16” yet? Check out the Cub Scoot. Or Cub Scout 14” or growing up fast? Nukeproof also offers 20", 24" and 26" Cub Scouts available.

Updated Kids Specific Components:

Proper fit and function of components is essential for kids bikes because adult components are not optimised for smaller people. To ensure that these bikes fit and function perfectly, we took the time to test and develop our own or work with our partners to select the best kids-specific components we could find on the market.

  • Nukeproof Saddle, Grips & Handlebars
  • Specific resized cranks
  • Kids specific brake levers

  • Easy 25x14T Singlespeed Gearing
