Zip it into the bag, chuck it in the van, or toss it over the tailgate—when you get to the trails, you’ll be happy you’re on a Nomad. The refined suspension offers efficient climbing, less reactivity under braking, and improves traction everywhere in between. In short, you’ll be more comfortable, more composed, and more confident no matter what the trail throws your way.

LIGHTER IS BETTER

The new Nomad’s a bit lighter than before—86 grams, to be precise. A lot of that savings comes from the slimmed-down downtube, but we redesigned the layup throughout the frame. It’s not just weight savings for weight savings sake, though: reducing the amount of material in the downtube makes it more compliant, and leaves you feeling fresher at the end of a long descent. You’ll feel it in your hands and feet at the bottom, and feel it even more (less?) the next day.
