Buy Santa Cruz Nomad 5 Carbon CC XO1 RSV

Big mountain riding is a nomadic existence. Meeting friends in far-flung car parks. Pinpointing trails you’re not sure are even rideable. Sending the ones you know are. Shiny new bling gets battered, shattered, and bruised. That’s life. That’s how it should be. That’s why the Nomad exists.

There’s no time for puzzling when on a road trip either. That’s why we chose 27.5 wheels as the go-to for the widest variety of riding styles and rider sizes. When peeling your bike out of the van at a new spot your only question should be “Is this a full face or a half lid kinda ride?”

The 64-degree head angle and 77-degree seat angle put you in the sweet spot when winching up to the top of a big drop-in. Meanwhile, proportional chainstay lengths mean handling is never compromised, regardless of frame size.

And when we say big travel, we’re not talking about your Transit’s odometer. We’re talking 170mm of 38mm diameter fork and 170mm of VPP rear suspension compatible with both coil and air shocks. The details are completed by a neat mud flap to protect the rear shock, plus tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm, and rubberized DT protectors to shrug off strikes.

So van-lifers unite. The Nomad is the kind of bike you need never worry about all summer long. Sorry, we can’t say the same for the locked public washrooms and parking tickets.
