Hi Guys,

Just picked up my Nukeproof Scalp today. It is amazing!
Built with full Nukeproof components, Gamut guide, Schwalbe tyres, Formula brakes, 888 Evo Ti forks and schwalbe tyres.

Had a quick ride on it today and it is fast!

More photos to come!

wow, that front end looks a mile high

 

[DanSheridan]

Its just the angle, theres also spacers under the crown. Feels low and corners great.

Bit of a sidenote, but how do you like the tires (tyres, for the UK folk)? I'm perfectly satisfied with Maxxis offerings, High Roller and DHF, but looking to try something new.

i got the funniest neg rep from some jerkoff named bobsten for saying the front end looks high.

Someone's gotta chip away at your golden bananna. I think it looks tall too, but just on the top tube. Why shape a top tube to create less clearance than if it was bent the other way?

Wow, I can't believe someone would do that to you.

[DanSheridan]

Ill get a review up once I get some more riding. Will also try to get some better photos, that one doesnt really do it justice!

ive no idea how to embed the video

Does the Scalp come with CCDB and Ti spring stock?

 

[al-irl]

There's a choice of vivid or the CCDB probably one of the best value frames on the market

Looks better in black than blue Anxious to see what people have to say about these things, Dan how much did she end up weighing? Just curious that's all (Hoping it's 40ish lbs, so people don't fixate on the weight)

edit: Scratch that Med frame w/o shock weighs 10.18lbs, so not super light but not heavy. good stuff.

 

[DanSheridan]

Thanks Al - heres the video embedded. Expect to see a full team press release in the next day or 2.

Here are some more photos of the bike before a few changes.

Here is a shockcam I did during the weekend. It was really muddy and the track was pretty smooth but still turned out OK.

I dont think the frames come stock with a ti spring with either shock.
Im not sure the exact weight but its about 39, just sub 40. That is with 2.5 Schwalbes which are like 2.7 Maxxis, so they are pretty heavy.

so... ride report? were you on the M9 last year? can you compare?

 

[DanSheridan]

Ill do a ride report once I get more time on the bike. I didnt ride a m9, I had a Tomac last year and a Sunday before that.
