The bike industry has seen its share of ups and downs The recent loss of Chain Reaction Cycles hits home for me as a hardtail mountain bike enthusiast. In this video, we reflect on the impact of Chain Reaction Cycles and celebrate the legacy of their iconic brands, Nukeproof, Ragley and Vitus. All three know for making aggressive high value hardtail MTBs

Despite the loss of Chain Reaction Cycles, we're excited to breathe new life into this Nukeproof Scout with some choice upgrades. We're turning this lower spec model into a trail-shredding beast.

But as we welcome the Nukeproof Scout to our fleet, and bid farewell to Chain Reaction Cycles as we knew it. The future remains uncertain for Nukeproof, Ragley, and Vitus.
