The Nomad became the benchmark bike for any rider seeking a big-travel bruiser that could also deliver an all-day adventure. Wheel sizes and geometry have changed but the Nomad sticks to its roots. This newest rendition is a continuation of that mission, but with today's crop of long-travel 29ers, we wanted to know if the 27.5-inch-wheeled bike is overkill or just right? We've had the new Nomad for a bit of time and are ready to share our conclusions in this bike review.
