Introducing The Nomad Carbon

The brand new Nomad Carbon is the natural evolution of the MK2 Nomad we introduced two years ago. Offering the same suspension performance and geometry but in a package delivering over a pound of weight saving. The Nomad Carbon is ready to take on all the same terrain as it's sibling with our proprietary one piece layup process adding extra strength and stiffness to keep you pinned though the bends.

• 160mm Travel, VPP Suspension
• 6.1 Pound Frame Weight with Shock!
  (Medium black/gold frame, monarch 3.3 Shock)
• Super Stiff, Ultra-strong Carbon Fiber Chassis
• 1.5" Headtube
• ISCG05 Tabs
• Collet Axle Pivots
• Ti Hardware
• Down Tube Protector
• All Mountain (really, we mean all mountain...)

Our proprietary one piece lay-up process eliminates excess material, ensures optimal fiber compaction, and incorporates the suspension pivots, disc mounts and ISCG tabs seamlessly into a single, ultra-light, mega-strong piece of composite art.

Kielder Winter Warmer - by Rich Rothwell, Team Syncros Endurance

Saturday was First Race of Year Day! How did I go? Did my head explode? Did my legs fall off? Yes! All this and more! My tale begins on Friday Eve... read on dear reader...

It absolutely lashed down all day on Friday... which meant only one thing; it must have been snowing down in deepest darkest Northumberland.

Just pulling out of Morpeth the rain turned to sleet... and then snow... and then a total white out. I started to doubt the safety of continuing.
