Whoever told you a Nomad "pedals like poop" has: a. not been on a Nomad 3, b.
has only ever previously ridden a hard tail, or c. had the suspension set up
too soft. I have been on my Nomad for four months now, ridding about 80 km of
tech trails per week and it is one of the best pedalling bikes I have ever
been on (SC Bullit 2002, Blur TRc 2012, Nomad 3). I get to try other bikes
through work and it pedals as well or better than the Giant Trance, Reign
(2013 models) and the Norco Range (2013 model). It is a pretty precise bike
however so set up (suspension, saddle posiition, stem length, stack height and
handle bar width) for body size and riding style is pretty important.
