Overview
About this bike
Lighter and more nimble than dedicated big-drop, big-hit park-duty bikes, and less nervy and a lot more plush than the fast-twitch behavior of XC-oriented bikes, Santa Cruz's Nomad is ready to bring you into a whole new trail-riding mindset. The light aluminum frame makes this rig a supremely confidence-inspiring trail bike, while the burly 1 1/2-inch diameter head tube and 160mm-travel RockShox Domain fork lets you rally very capably with the big dogs in chairlift country. Out back, Fox's Float rear shock controls 165mm of terrain-devouring Virtual Pivot Point rear suspension. And this rig can go uphill, too, with a quick-shifting SRAM/Shimano drivetrain and lightweight Mavic wheels. Plus, Avid's reliable Juicy discs are there to slow your way back down. Nomad. The name sums it up: go anywhere.
