Load up the van, hit the road, climb a mountain, hammer it back down, huck the gap, throw the bike back in the van, and drive to the bike park for laps on laps. Hell, you could even roll up to the start line of the worlds wildest races. The Nomads forte is being ready and willing to go wherever, whenever. All it needs is a rider willing to press send.

FEATURESSPECS

FEATURES:

• All the travel anyone needs in a single-crown bike. Intended for the steepest and deepest of trails.
• Place your ride essentials securely beneath a new high-quality latch and panel in the Nomad’s downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse to keep your tools close to hand.
• Chainstay length and seat angle are matched to the frame size (STA steepens and rear center grows as frame size increases) so that every rider, no matter what height, gets the same balance of geometry and handling characteristics.
• The mixed wheel configuration of a 29-inch wheel up front provides traction and stability, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel allows for quick back wheel steering and lifting. Mixing the best of both worlds.
• In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and theres some bottom-out resistance to be gained. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support.
• Bigger riders mean bigger stresses on bigger frames. So Santa Cruz tailored stiffness for every size to make sure everyone gets the same ride quality.
• The details are completed by a neat mud flap to protect the rear shock plus tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm, and rubberized DT protectors to shrug off strikes.
