From Backcountry
Santa Cruz retuned the Nomad's VPP suspension, reducing anti-rise to cut brake dive and reducing anti-squat to put more traction to the ground under power. The result is a bike that stays composed when the brakes are on and soaks up square-edge hits with less kick back through the frame, so 170mm of travel works with the rider instead of fighting them. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"My hands and feet feel fresher at the bottom of a long, rough descent than they did on the last Nomad, since the redesigned downtube flexes just enough to take the edge off repeated hits. I notice it most on the kind of trail that used to leave my forearms pumped before the run was even over."Heads up!
