The latest generation retains its aggressive character while refining the ride with a lighter CC carbon frame, updated VPP suspension kinematics and a slightly slacker geometry for even greater confidence when the terrain gets steep.Although lighter than its predecessor, the redesigned frame isn't simply about saving weight. A revised carbon layup and slimmer downtube improve frame compliance, helping reduce rider fatigue on rough descents while maintaining the stiffness needed for precise handling. The proven 170mm VPP suspension platform has also been updated with reduced anti-squat for improved traction and pedalling efficiency, alongside reduced anti-rise to keep the suspension active under braking.Suspension performance comes from a Fox Factory package, pairing the 170mm Fox 38 Float Factory Grip X2 fork with a Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock. This combination offers exceptional sensitivity, support and adjustability for riders tackling demanding enduro stages, technical bike park laps or big mountain descents.A mixed-wheel configuration combines a 29-inch front wheel for confident rollover and steering precision with a 27.5-inch rear wheel for agility through tight corners and steep terrain. Reserve 30|HD carbon wheels provide strength without unnecessary weight, while Maxxis High Roller and Minion DHR II tyres deliver dependable grip across loose, rocky and wet conditions.The SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type wireless drivetrain delivers crisp, reliable shifting under load, with a wide 10-52T cassette providing the gearing needed for long climbs before rewarding descents. Powerful SRAM hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm HS2 rotors offer consistent stopping performance when speeds rise.Practical features add to the Nomad's versatility, including the Glovebox V2 in-frame storage system for tools and trail essentials, a flip chip to adjust geometry between High and Low settings, an accessory mount beneath the top tube, and the updated two-bolt ISCG mount with integrated upper chain guide. Together they create a bike that's ready for everything from uplift days and enduro racing to unforgettable riding trips in the mountains.
