You won't find, as you put it: "an all rounder playful bike biased to downhill
for Park days" that also pedals really well on flat terrain compared to a
smaller bike. That's just the reality. NO bike does everything perfectly, so
decide if you want to sacrifice a bit of pedaling/uphill performance or a bit
of downhill performance - that determines the category from which you'll be
choosing.
The Nomad pedals well…for a big bike. You may learn more by reading the review
we published: <http://nsmb.com/long-term-review-santa-cruz-nomad/> as well as
some others. The Yeti pedals better. I haven't got time on the HD3 yet.
