Newly Released Bikes General

Nomad review up on PB for those interested

 

[pink poodle]

I had to do this just to work out what’s changed!

Looks like they have changed their colour scheme from yucky and bland to yucky and outrageous. Sigh.

Looks a little slacker as well.

 

[Flow-Rider]

The translucent maroon looks pretty. The pastel colours are so 80's feeling.

Details up on Flow and no new Nomads until around April next year.

Wow, prices start at nearly $10k. What a time to be alive.

 

[hifiandmtb]

Imagine the prices if it had a motor!

 

[Rorschach]

A brown bike....how the fuck the person that chooses the colours for Santa Cruz has remained employed the past few years is beyond me.

Not gonna lie, the copper and blue Chameleon makes me tingle in a good way

2 grand more for a Honda CRF250R. MTB pricing is getting a bit silly.

Looks like the entire FS range now has a full rear triangle on both sides which can only be a good thing. The translucent looks great but maroon is one colour I've never liked, give me 80's pastel any day.

@Scotty T
Maroon is the best colour

The best I tells you!

I'll concede in that context it does look good, and now I see why the decals on the SC are that colour. Damn you! Maroon wheels on the 4wd, or is that a stretch too far?

That maroon/burgundy/whatever is as stunning as the green is revolting. Holy shit it looks good.

@Ultra Lord is ultra matchy with your 75 Series so you probably need one.

Well tbh I can’t be arsed paying to have them painted. Possibly too much maroon?
*checks bank account
Yep, too much.

This was the first car I’ve bought that cost more than my bikes. Buying a nomad that starts at 10K would fix that little issue.

They should have brought out the Chameleon in that colour instead of the brown.

What about the flat pascal pastel pink on the 5010 ?

 

[HamboCairns]

Do you mean pastel rather than pascal?

 

[Mr Crudley]

Brown seems to pop up quite a bit in the SC colour palette.
Still partial to the plain ol' 5010 v2 light blue but never clicked with the Bronson Kalimotxo pink.

Won't be long till chrome and gold tinted chrome over CF makes an appearance.

You're silently waiting for the anodised purple to come back from the GT RTS ?

Of course, just like everyone else. The gold special edition Zaskar might not be everyone's taste but you sure can't miss it.

 

[Ultra Lord]

That’s gross.
