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

Probably the most abused bike in our line up, every Nomad has a story to tell. But each Nomad weve made keeps coming back for more. Its not Stockholm Syndrome, its called sealed bearings in all pivots, lower link grease port, shuttle guards, and free bearing replacements. Why scrap a frame when a simple bearing service can make one last a lifetime? Thats our stance on sustainability at least, and its why our carbon fiber doesnt just mean lighter, it means tough as hell, lifetime warranty, and crash replacement support.

Theres no time for puzzling when on a road trip either. Thats 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 77.5-degree seat angle puts 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, were not talking about your Transits odometer. Were 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 cant say the same for the locked public washrooms and parking tickets.
