Test Ride Review: Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon 27.5

With enduro (the racing category) pushing recent bike development, Santa Cruz has re-imagined the venerable Nomad into a gravity-oriented 27.5-equipped park slayer. The carbon-frame-only Nomad comes spec’ed with SLX, XT, or XX1 groups, with prices ranging from $5,899 to $8,299.

Test Ride Review: Giant Reign Advanced 27.5 1

Until now the Reign and Glory were 26″ hold-outs in Giant’s line-up.

Review: Diamondback Mission Pro 27.5

I knew that I had to get on at least one shuttle during my time at Outerbike, and having ridden Mag 7 (or, more accurately, Mag 3-ish) last year, I knew that would be a ripping descent with plenty of drops, jumps, and gnar–perfect for testing an enduro bike. The only question was, what bike …
