Santa Cruz Nomad review from MTBR

When the Santa Cruz Nomad started making appearances at shows and competitions earlier this year people were decidely on the fence or off the fence with the design. Some people loved the frame’s retro styling while others thought it looked ‘goofy’. I’m in the first group of critics and have been waiting for the first legitimate reviews on the bike to start making their way onto the internet.

The folks over at Mtbr.com recently posted a review of the Santa Cruz Nomad that confirms what many of the optimists out there were hoping for. Personally, I’m trying to trim the number of bikes in my garage from three to two and I’m looking for a trail bike that can handle the rigors of a bike park while being light enough to take on all day epics. It seems as though Santa Cruz is on the right track with this bike — I’ll be curious to see how it matches up to bikes like the Trail SX, the Turner Six Pack, and others.
