Trophy of Nations 2022 Custom Bikes

A pint, a pair of shoes and an Australian Bush. The 2022 Trophy of Nations bikes for Nukeproof Sram Factory Racing team riders, Elliott Heap, Kelan Grant and Dan Booker represent the riders personality more than scream their nations flags. A personal ode to Elliott, the footwear afficienado, Kelan Grant, a proud Irish man and Dan Booker, Tasmania's elite tourism guide.

Kelan Grant: Team Ireland
 
Quite simply one of Irelands greatest products and no finer product to inspire our Irish ace Kelan Grant. Kelan’s Large Nukeproof Giga 297 is again hand painted by the talents at Elite Refinish to reflect the 119.53 seconds of making a perfect pint. The Giga is finished with Nukeproof Horizon Copper components to match the frame details.

Elliott Heap: Team Great Britain
 
Elliott is well known for his obsession with interesting footwear. An early adopter of the movement to wear plastic “reptile branded” clogs, he’s some boy when it comes to footwear fashion. But away from the said “reptile brand”, he has a love for a world renown skate brand. This was casually mentioned on a photoshoot for the new Nukeproof Solum. Like any dream makers, the Nukeproof design team set about putting this idea to a reality. Huge thanks to Jonny and his paint gun, the result is stunning with some exquisite details. To finish the look its paired with red anodised Nukeproof Horizon components.

Dan Booker: Team Australia
 
Dont Fark our Parks", a tagline Dan Booker and a group of passionate Tasmanian’s have developed as a stand against the logging of Old Growth Trees and Native Forest in Maydena Bike Park, of which Dan is an esteemed Trail builder in. This area has some of the oldest Native Forest in Tasmania including the widest tree in Tasmania. This Custom bike is a platform to raise further awareness of the issues the group The Tree Projects are tackling against unnecessary logging.
