The Good
The VPP suspension is a no argue fact that this bike has to accomodate various trails
The Bad
nothing so far
Overall Review:

I used to ride this bike either for all mountain trails rides and xc rides, the bike is predictable even when Im on speedy ride down the hill.

I totally recommend this bike for you who seek the all mountain rig and be your daily best friend.

The chosen all around bike

The Good
- The Geometry and VPP are the big advantage for all around bike.
- The weight to stiffness or strength ratios are really efficient
The Bad
- BB height is not really an advantage for turning and berm, thus heven't seen racer use this bike for dual slalom....
Overall Review:

All Around bike and diffidently my chosen enduro bike...it geometry lets the rider to control the bike not the other around. However my next upgraded bike will be Nomad with 6.5' travel

Notes For Santa Cruz: Watch Specialized , they launch New Specialized Enduro with extended travel to 6.5'

bike feels amazing downhill and pedals like a hardtail uphill. half the time i don't even use the pro pedal it barely moves when u pedal. grease ports of suspension linkages. flys real nice
The Bad
bit heavy and pricy but no realy major flaw, bigger rear axel would be nice
Overall Review:
great bike to add to the collection can take 4-5ft drops to flat with ease and im a big guy. really makes you feel comfortable on the downhill. the whole bike has made me more confident. once u have it dialed in this is one hell of a all mountain machine!

Proven design - really does pedal well without giving up too much small bump sensitivity.
Weight (7.5 lb frame w/Fox DHX Air, Size L). Great looking frame and easy access to the shock.
The Bad
Flex - why no 12mm rear option? Also would like a steeper seat tube. -1 star
Overall Review:
Build is 32lbs with still capable parts. Fox 36 Float and DHX air rear well balanced. I can see myself riding this frame for years as a fun, capable trail bike.

Build recommendations: I put a zero stack headset, a short stem, and a flat bar to bring the front end down and really like the cockpit feel. For sizing, I usually choose a meduim frame for DH steeds, but the Large Nomad fits short so was spot on for me (6' tall).
