Nukeproof Cub Scout 16”

The perfect first mountain bike for young riders ready to graduate from a balance bike or 14” wheel. Built for kids aged 5 years and up (105–120 cm), this mini MTB is designed to combine fun, safety, and confidence on every ride. The single-speed gearing keeps pedalling simple, while short-reach brake levers allow even the smallest hands to engage the disc brakes with ease. Stabiliser compatible for those still mastering balance, the Cub Scout 16” also features a low standover height and adjustable saddle to grow with your child, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for years of trail adventures.

Off-road tyres deliver excellent grip for playgrounds, park trails, or light cross-country adventures, while lightweight wheels reduce fatigue and keep little legs pedalling further. Every component has been carefully selected for children, from the kid-specific saddle and handlebars to the appropriately sized cranks and pedals, guaranteeing a ride that’s safe, comfortable, and confidence-boosting. Tested by our team of discerning young riders, the Cub Scout 16” packs all the fun and performance of a full-sized mountain bike into a compact, child-friendly package.
