Most of us at Nukeproof have worked at bike shops throughout our careers, so we know how important it is to have a local bike retailer that you can trust. Not only do they provide essential services; they also offer expert advice to keep your bike shred-ready. A good local bike shop has a deep understanding of cycling routes and culture and serves as a community gathering place for your friends and neighbors.

When we launched Nukeproof in the United States in late 2022, we knew that it would be essential to our success to partner with a grassroots network of top-quality brick and mortar bike shops. Now only a few months in, we are proud to introduce the first wave of US-based Nukeproof Authorized Retailers. Each shop has its own story and represents a different region. Get to know them here – and if you’re ever traveling in their areas, don’t forget to drop in and support these awesome shops.

Right in time for the Bentonville Bike Fest this May 25-28, we're proud to introduce the Bentonville Bicycle Company of Bentonville, Arkansas.

Tell us anything we haven't asked but should know.

We strive to make every customer comfortable bringing in any bike, asking any question and help them in every way. Its not about what you ride or what you know, its about having a shared passion for bikes or riding.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. We're looking forward to joining the BBC crew at the Bentonville Bike Fest this May 25-28. If you're in Northwest Arkansas, stop by and demo a bike or give us a high five.

Thanks to Bentonville Bicycle Co for being a part of the Nukeproof family.
