Molson World Team first ride on Nukeproof Scalp




After some long days/nights/weeks/months work, The MOLSON WORLD TEAM’S first production Nukeproof was built, and when we say built, we mean built without compromise. All of us who are involved with this program believe our team model of making the best bike possible, with absolutely no restrictions, from a completely blank sheet and using the highest quality products are super pumped with the results of the hard work to produce the first MOLSON WORLD TEAM race bike.






The word got out about the race bike test so team partner and all round No Fear guru, Mr Philip Coulter flew in from N-Ireland to head out for a photo shoot and test ride. All the team headed down to Triscombe to meet photographer Jacob ‘Milky’ Gibbins for what was set for a top days riding and shooting. The day was super cool and relaxed and we where able to work some great shots from the ‘Milky’ lenses….






From a riders perspective we have been testing the prototype scalp for a few months and Rich took it to a solid 11th place at the first BDS. Rich loved the prototype and was pumped and amazed to hear from the Chain Reaction Cycles team that the production frame was even better.... Could that be true…..? This was beyond true! Straight out of the box, our production Nukeproof Scalp (Large) builds perfectly, boasting a 63 degree head angle, 14 inch BB when fitted with our Mojo tuned Fox RC4, and a super light feel to every part of the bike and package. We think the team’s set up is perfect for providing a bike for every level, from World Cup racer to the everyday rider with the ultimate build.


The SCALP is leading the way in affordable race frames with the highest build quality and no compromise!!! Take it from the MOLSON WORLD TEAM, this bike is great… Effortless, controllable, solid, light and begging to be ridden fast, and if built with attention to detail it will run absolutely silent!
