Santa Cruz came out with the reinterpretation of the Nomad which abandons the 26 ″ format to adapt to the market and technology. The Nomad differs from the Bronson for a more discreet imprint. Compared to the 26 "Nomad, the changes are many: 165 mm of travel, 65 degrees at the steering, front end two and a half centimeters longer, dropper post with 150 mm travel with seat tube diameter increased to 31.8, lower link of the VPP which no longer protrudes under the bottom bracket and internal gearbox passage.
A rather curious aspect is the impossibility of mounting a central derailleur, so you must necessarily use the single chainring. A choice made to better optimize the suspension system but those who do not have a cross country leg certainly will not jump for joy. Possibility of having a water bottle. The sizes are 4: from S to XL in 2 colors: black or light blue / magenta.
