Expirience with the Santa Cruz NOMAD S / C / 27.5

Ludwig Döhl In the past, the NOMAD S 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 S impresses with its low center of gravity and first-class VPP rear end. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz Enduro. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. On the downhill, however, the Enduro of Santa Cruz is left in the dust by its competitors. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 6299 Euro, Santa Cruz provides more than the competitors in the same price range. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
