NOMAD - a Cliff huck-ing Bomber from S-Cruz


Taking a similarly stout approach as on the V-10 and VP-Free, Santa Cruz created a frame with beefy formed tubes (very strong, and deco stylish) and meaty linkages delivering a rock solid frame with 6.5 inches of rear wheel travel. Also, they kept the flab to a minimum, using light 6061 and 6069 aluminum alloy for the frame and retaining a standard 135mm, q.r. friendly rear dropout spacing. It can be built up either as a do-everything, ride everywhere, long lasting middleweight, or a rock crushing, cliff hucking bomber. * Expected release date for the Nomad frame - late summer, 2005
