Hi everyone!
I'm considering buying a new frame soon.
For what I read in some of the reviews, some say that the Nomad 4 is a mini dh bike, others say it also has a poppy side in it.
Has anyone here tried the bike? Anyone can give some more details about how it rides?
Who is this bike really aimed for?

I have it.
Rides well downhill, rides well uphill.
Recently used it for ard rock enduro in the UK and it was a great bike for it.
Definitely can be used as an enduro bike... Also does well in bike parks.
Certainly isn't too much bike...
I was riding a canyon strive before it and prefer the nomad.

Awesome! You may be the best person to make a comparison as the Strive has the shapeshifter thing.
Did you miss the shapeshifter anytime since you have the Nomad?
I'm balanced between the nomad, the new Spartan and maybe the new Patrol that is going to be released soon. Aluminium frame.

No, don't miss the shapeshifter. It was a faff to be honest.
The Nomad feels faster allround than the strive... could be placebo.

Nice! Did you chose air shock or coil?
About the placebo, times don't lie

Got my N4 yesterday. I got it from a guy who owns a bike shop. I am pumped AND nervous as hell to build it up. The only pre-assembly on it are the BB and cranks. Anyone have any tips?
