Santa Cruz Nomad CC 5 2021

More travel than a white van

Big mountain riding is a nomadic existence. Meeting friends in farflung car parks. Pinpointing trails you're not sure are even rideable. Sending the ones you know are. Shiny new bling gets battered, shattered and bruised. That’s life. That’s how it should be. That's why the Nomad exists.

Probably the most abused bike in our line up, every Nomad has a story to tell. But each Nomad we've made keeps coming back for more. It's not Stockholm Syndrome, it's called sealed bearings in all pivots, a 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? That's our stance on sustainability at least, and it's why our carbon fiber doesn’t just mean lighter, it means tough as hell backed up by a lifetime warranty and crash replacement support.

There’s no time for puzzling when on a road trip either. That's 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-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, we're not talking about your Transit's odometer. We're 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 can't say the same for the locked public washrooms and parking tickets.

Aeffect is a new generation of Affordable All mountain equipement by Race face. The Aeffect bars comes in the new 35mm bar/stem standard. Forged and machined from 6061 Aluminium. 780x20 Rise.

Aeffect is a new generation of Affordable All mountain equipement by Race face. The Aeffect stem comes in the new 35mm bar/stem standard. Forged and machined from 6061 Aluminium.

Single lock-ring design with the staying power of dual lock-ring.  A taper-lock core uses an internal sleeve that narrows towards the last 38mm (1.5”) of the grip, effectively clamping onto the end of the bar to eliminate twisting.

Flared closed end for comfort, feel and security.  8mm (0.3”) of rubber with a subtle mushroom profile on the tip resists scuffing, provides comfort and adds an intuitive feel for the bar end.  (We also found it adds a healthy dose of forgiveness when clipping trees on tight trails!)

Long grip length and waffle knurl for maximum control.  A generous 125mm (4.9”) grip length (excluding lock-ring) allows plenty of room to reposition hands on differing terrain and long rides.  The moto-knurl pattern gives just the right balance of feel and grip in all conditions.

Legendary Hope headset - UK made with stainless bearings and inclides Hope Head Doctor top cap assemby.

Rubber sealed cartridge type, stainless steel bearings and additional 'O' ring seals in the cups to ensure years of maintenance free running. It's strong enough for downhill use, yet still light enough for cross-country. Bearing Type: Sealed stainless steel cartridge type. Cups: 2014 aluminium.

The Ascend Seatpost is only compatible with bikes that can use an internally routed dropper. (Please note that it cannot be converted to external cable actuated.)The seatpost is cable actuated at the bottom of the post via a linkage mechanism which eliminates cable pull/movement, to ensure consistent performance time and time again.

The ergonomic shifter style remote lever is designed to be run where your front shifter would normally sit. This means that the Ascend Dropper is ideally suited for those using a 1x chain ring set up; without a front derailleur. However, a paddle style shifter is available aftermarket for those who want to use the Ascend dropper post with a front derailleur and shifter.

The Ascend Dropper seatpost sets new standards for reliability and performance at a fantastic price point.

Features:

• Material: AL7075-T651; Finish: Sand Blasted and Hard Anodised Black
• Bar mounted shifter style remote lever and Cable operated internal routing
• Linkage mechanism eliminates any outer cable pull

The Volt is the next evolution in WTB saddles. Thin Line style compact padding borrowed from the Silverado and Devo compliment subtle curves and a melange of popular features from several of our saddles. A slight whale tail and gentle drop to the nose provide something to push against while not limiting riders to one seating position. This saddle has enough padding for all day riding comfort yet scant enough weights for XC competition gaining it endless acclaim and popularity among riders.
