With 170 mm of travel at both ends, nobody should expect the Nomad to be a rocketship on the way up, but its overall pedalling performance is very respectable for this sort of bike.

For reference, here’s the full geometry chart for the V5 Nomad: All of that adds up to a long-ish, but not massive 1257 mm wheelbase on our size Large test bike (low position), which makes a lot of sense for a bike that Santa Cruz definitely intends to be versatile and somewhat playful.

That’s still not super long, but does mean that the Large and XL frames have a bit longer stays than the prior model. The chainstays on the V4 bike were quite short at 430 mm in all sizes on the V5 they range from 425 mm to 440 mm, in 5 mm increments between sizes. The Nomad also receives size-specific chainstay lengths, an increasingly common move that we at Blister think makes a lot of sense. The headtube angle is now 64° across the board in the high position, and drops by a modest 0.3° in the low one. The new Nomad now comes in four sizes, from Small through XL, with reach numbers ranging from 425 to 500 mm in 25 mm increments. The most dramatic differences are in the effective seat tube angle, which went from 74.5° to roughly 78° (varies slightly by size both listed in the high geometry position), and the loss of the XS size.

The Nomad V5 got slightly longer and slacker in its update from the V4 bike, but those changes are comparatively subtle, especially these days.

You can also check out our 2021 Santa Cruz / Juliana Brand Guide, for more info on Santa Cruz and their full lineup. If you were deadset on doing it you’d be best off using a 150 mm travel 29’’ fork, but that would mean unbalanced suspension feel.” There is a flip chip to toggle between two different geometry settings (more on that below) but it makes a subtle change and isn’t intended to make the Nomad a viable mullet candidate.Īs with all of their current models, Santa Cruz offers a lifetime warranty and crash replacement support on the Nomad. Per their FAQ section, “we don’t recommend this. Mullet bikes are growing in popularity (and Santa Cruz offers several, such as the new Bronson), but they make a point of discouraging riders from attempting such a setup on the Nomad. ISCG-05 chainguide tabs are provided, and a chainguide is provided on all of the complete builds. A large water bottle fits inside the front triangle on all sizes as well. The cable routing is fully internal, the bottom bracket shell is threaded, the derailleur hanger is a SRAM UDH, and the brake mount is set up for a 180 mm rotor. A bolt-on mini fender protects the rear shock from gunk thrown off the rear wheel. There’s a rubber guard on the chainstay, as well as additional frame protection on the downtube just forward of the bottom bracket and behind the headtube to protect the frame when shuttling over a tailgate. The Nomad V5 gets most of the standard features you’d expect from a modern, high-end Enduro bike.
