Expirience with the Santa Cruz Nomad S / Carbon C / MX

Santa Cruz Nomad S / Carbon C / MX Review Same travel on the fork, same rear end, same look. At first glance, the differences between Santa Cruz Megatower and Nomad are hard to spot. Who looks closer notices that the Nomad rolls on a mullet setup with a small 27.5 inch rear wheel. Thanks to a moderate 63,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. On climbs, the Enduro von Santa Cruz lets you sweat. Other bikes 6799 Euro climb better. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 15,56 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 6799 Euro, Santa Cruz provides more than the competitors in the same price range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Santa Cruz puts a lot of trust in its products. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Santa Cruz Nomad S / MX sizing runs small.
