In the past, the NOMAD R would have been called a freerider. Nowadays, this category is almost inseparably mixed with enduro bikes. But what do we care about the naming of the category. What's important is what's happening on the trail, and that's where the NOMAD R impresses with its low center of gravity and first-class VPP rear end. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When entering the saddle, the Santa Cruz Enduro conveys a balanced seating position. On the downhill, however, the NOMAD R is left in the dust by its competitors. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Santa Cruz sets the bar high!
