Pete's assessment of the climbing is spot on. The bike climbs spectacularly
well for what it is. I spent the entire summer with mine in the Lake Tahoe
area slogging out unrelenting 4,000ft+ ascents on it through some really
technical sections of trail, and the bike did it, no problem. But you have to
be on point with body position, momentum, and line in a way that you wouldn't
have to be on something with a steeper HA. The new Nomad will get you to the
top of wherever you're aiming to go, you're just not likely to shatter any
records doing it…once you point it downhill though, game on.
