Testing Bicycles With Scharney: Santa Cruz Nomad V.4 (C-level Carbon & Alloy)

These bike tests are always a little bit harder to make when you’re making one about your personal rig. I usually put it off to actually ride the bike, and then I feel like I have too many opinions for a 3-4 minute video. All that being said, it ended up taking me a lot longer to make the video than I had originally anticipated, but I got it out before Santa Cruz released a Nomad V.5, so that’s a win in my book... While the frames ridden in this video feature the 2018 paint jobs, the geometry is consistent with the 2019 models of the Nomad, and feature the same ride quality. Given the amount miles I’ve ridden with a Nomad v.4 between my legs, I have a lot to say about the bike, so if you have any questions regarding the Nomad please feel free to leave a comment and I will be more than happy to give additional feedback!
