Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Headshot]

Sounds like a beast of a bike and if there was any doubt that the old Nomad was too much bike for SA riding conditions, this one proves it.

Seems SC is taking a new kind of piss out of bike prices.

Nomad CC | XX1 Reserve | RockShox Super Deluxe RCT | RockShox Lyric RCT3 170 | $13,349

Good lord. Didn't even notice the new prices.

Let's hope it's Zim dollars, or something equally ***.

As long as riders are willing to pay the prices will keep going up[emoji15][emoji15]

SC really need to figure out better ways to route the rear brake and derailleur cables. 

 

Anyway, one of the builds will be equipped with Eagle GX! 12 speed for the masses, y'all!

 

Agreed, looking at Intense, which basically is the same bikes, have at least decent cable routing. SC's just plain nasty.

edit: thinks this is Canadian Dollars. Site quotes USD10.2k

Yeah, it's CAD, and it's with the top spec alles. That XX1 Eagle by itself is a fair old chunk of that. 

 

Maybe better to look at the base model, which is $ 4,399 US or so?

Looks similar to a supreme

And it is the CC frame. High modules carbon fibre is stupidly expensive. High modules carbon matt could easily be over 4 times the price of comparable lower modules.

nah, seems perfect for Meerendal.

N3 - 165mm rear travel.

N4 - 170mm rear travel.

 

N3 - 160mm to 180mm front. Sold with 160mm.

N4 - 170mm - 180mm front. Sold with 170mm.

 

If the N3 is anything to go by, the N4 would give quite a plushy ride that can be ridden uphill too.

WOW! That's only C$4349 MORE than a 250cc KTM Motocross bike

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."

Looks like an amazing bike. For places with actual steeps. But I'm sure I'll see a bunch out at Jonkershoek soon.
