Agreed on the increasing chainstay lengths.On a positive note, looks like Santa Cruz have moved to size dependent chain stay lengths.
Edit: ...and some appropriately sized head tube lengths
Based on the geo numbers shown, climbing on this new Nomad should be way better than the old one. The effective seat angle is heaps steeper, and the longer chain stays on the L and XL will put relatively more weight on the front.Agreed on the increasing chainstay lengths.
If it was a race bike vs a steezy trailslayer I'd say they haven't made the chainstays long enough on the large and XL sizes though. The XL especially is going to be challenging to keep the weight on the front. I wouldn't have the energy for that body english on a decent ride. The medium looks super balanced imo.
That looks even worse than I thought it would.US bike shop has gone early apparently. This is the watermelon Nomad.

This is the same company with a purple e bike and matching fork decals.Those pink and green fork decals are surely taking the piss
Yeah I was thinking red, seeing as that is the part of the watermelon I like to eat, but eh each to their own I guess...It doesn't look very watermelon.
The forks decals would be good with one or the other, but both colours is a bit much.This is the same company with a purple e bike and matching fork decals.

I quite like the colour too, and matching krimp and fork decals is a nice touch. Now I need to find watermelon krimps!I actually don't mind the green.
It looks like @Scotty T's empire is expanding globally:
