Expirience with the Santa Cruz NOMAD X01 / Air / CC / 27.5

Ludwig Döhl In the past, the NOMAD X01 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 X01 impresses with its low center of gravity and first-class VPP rear end. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Santa Cruz Fully suite the taste of most bikers. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
