Enduro travel, downhill attitude

170mm at both ends and mixed wheels: a 29in front to hold a line through the rough, a 27.5in rear to change direction when you decide to. The Nomad is what you ride when the trails get serious but you still have to pedal to the top of them.

Built for the steep and the deep

Gravity fed

Built for the steep and the deep

170mm of VPP travel and a chassis that borrows its manners from the V10. Point it at the worst line on the hill and it shrugs.

You can pedal it back up

Still a bike

You can pedal it back up

Unlike an actual downhill bike, the Nomad climbs. Not gently, but well enough that you can earn every run you take.

The bikes

Every Nomad runs 170mm front and rear on mixed wheels, on a Carbon C or Carbon CC frame. Pick your build.
