[[{“value”:”The Santa Cruz Nomad has long set the standard for a bike that blends enduro and bikepark characteristics, and the latest generation is no exception. Still hanging on to the VPP suspension design, the Nomad has received some minor updates to the suspension kinematics and geometry to elevate its performance across different terrain.
Could those updates do enough to retain the Nomad’s position as the go-to enduro and bikepark crossover machine? We were excited to hit the trails and put it to the test against seven of the best enduro mountain bikes on the market.

We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the supporting brands who kitted us out and made this series possible. Without their financial support, this eight-bike comparison test would not have happened. Their products helped us to stay comfortable and ensured consistent performance for all of the trail time required to test these bikes.
