Nukeproof Updates Its Digger Gravel Bike

Press Release: Nukeproof

What started during a very intoxicated conversation some years ago in Italy, has ended up as a cult product in our range.


Inspired by our athletes and their desire for a do-it-all training bike with something a little extra, it’s a versatile vessel that blends “gravel bike” performance with the soul of a mountain bike. With the capacity to add panniers, bike packs and mudguards, the Digger frame is suited for everything from big adventures in the wilderness to a bike that simply makes the usual mundane commute to work more interesting.


New for 2020 is the addition of the latest gravel dedicated Shimano GRX 1x groupset. Specced for simplicity and off-road performance with Shimano’s clutch derailleur 1x 11 speed set up (11-42t) drivetrain. The Factory Digger integrates its 120mm dropper post actuation in the Shimano brake lever to offer ultimate confidence when it gets technical on the trails. In true mountain biker spec, Nukeproof equipped the Digger with a “wider than average” drop handlebar for that off-road stance.




Both 2020 Digger Comp and Factory models will come with tan wall nobbly WTB Sendero’s 650b Road Plus tyres to give decent off road performance.



Compatible with any "None Boost" wheelsets you may have, however it can take a road 700c wheel if you're looking for a dedicated road warrior. The Factory Digger will also gets the new DT Swiss G1800 Gravel wheels as standard to combine rolling efficiency with the strength to perform off-road. Both ends of the Digger are bolt through axles with a carbon tapered fork and cork-gel bar tape for compliance and improved feel on the trails/ gravel/ paths/ road.


The Nukeproof Digger real does yearn to divert you off the main path/ road or trail and create an adventure of any ride.
