Sooo for someone happily getting along with the advantages/disadvantages of the Nomad 3, is the Nomad 4 of similar nature and as easy to get along with for that kind of rider? Or is it better overall both up and down? Or is it now more narrowly focused strictly on the down and less on the all around? Any more notes in direct comparison to the 3.0 that you could offer? I see the 3.0 as my XC bike in that I ride it everywhere, but know its not always best suited to everything. But it's fun as shit wherever I go, and even on frequent park days I am not left really wanting for SO much more descending ability that I need to run off and buy a DH bike tomorrow. And its also not such a life draining succubus that I need to run out an buy a burly but fast and capable and more practical trail bike like the evil following or transition smuggler. I have my Nomad 3 built up quite like a DH bike. Saint cranks/brakes/r der, coil shock, DVO diamond, Onyx hubs, stout aluminum rims, cushcore inserts, and either exo or DD minions/aggressors/shortys/HRII. Heavy, but liveable and loveable and very dependable and can be smashed into and over and off of most anything I would ever dare and then some.
