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: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon Evo 650B

I want to be cool, but I’m not. To compensate, I cultivate interest in things that also aren’t cool, such as wearing road kits on mountain rides, enjoying professional bike racing, and blasting Katy Perry tunes on the trail.

Review: WTB Vigilante 27.5 Tires

There has been a lot of recent product development in the area of bike components that are tough enough for downhill, but light enough to pedal back up, and the Vigilante 27.5 Tire from WTB is a member of this new breed of parts. The Vigilantes are available in 26″, 27.5″, and 29″, with a …
