Reden Posted June 1, 2017 Share I just love this quote. nsmb.com "If that preamble seems long, it's because it is difficult to overstate the impact of the last Nomad, which already had very large shoes to fill when it came along. For the last three years, even as other Santa Cruz models have chipped away at its sales and relevance to certain riders, the Nomad has remained a standard - maybe the standard - by which all other AM bikes are judged. Only the arrival of longer travel 29ers and the galvanized opinion that longer reaches are preferable have quelled the squawk about this Nomad killer or that one. But it wasn't wheel size or a short reach that did it. In the end, the only thing capable of killing the Nomad 3 turned out to be the Nomad 4."

You going to stand at the trailhead with a ruler and a pocket calculator, measuring stanchions and eye-to-eye lenght and stroke? "You's got too much travel! You's cannot ride your bike here, bru!" If someone in Bloemfontein wants to buy the new Nomad, then good for them. There are no rules! Eddy Gordo and Headshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
