There is no hiding from it, being a privateer on the global stage is tough. It’s a battle to get to races and just as ferocious racing the hottest future talent between the tapes. We appreciate the challenge and want to highlight the huge effort that Nukeproof privateers put in just to make it to the start line.  

Dan Cope is well known to us here at Nukeproof. He was part of our Wideopen young development team. Whilst he won multiple UK races in downhill, he didn’t quite make the top of the sport. Like we say it’s tough at the top. Bikes are part of Dan’s DNA and hailing from the Welsh valleys, he’s spoilt with 100’s of world class trails on his doorstep- you’ve just got to pedal up to earn the descents. The move to race in enduro has seen him claim the Welsh Enduro title as well as some other top results.
