It's nice to see a new free ride bike with a proper 1.5head tube for once. Big thanks to Santa Cruz for not doing any silly stepdown nonsense, now to start saving (and speccing) up...

only specialized do the stepdown one on their mtb's for their own forks

Strictly speaking, the Nomad isn't really a freeride bike, more of an all-mountain rig. There's the Bullit for freeriding antics

Although strangley, on the Santacruz web site bike builder, there is an option for Boxxers and DHX coil...putting it firmly in the free ride area...

I've seen Nomads set up as full on DH bikes as well as heavier XC bikes so it's a pretty versatile bit of kit. It does ride very different to the 575 though so don't go discounting it just yet.

There are plenty of people still running full 1.5" head tubes but it seems Fox are determined to push this E2 thingy. Ok for XC / AM but for bigger stuff I want my 1.5" thanks

I stand corrected - I thought the Fox 40's were 1.5" (surprised to discover they're not). So is this E2 'standard' mainly a Trek brand thing that they've started with Fox (like the "we're not going to make 29er forks, oh okay then" situation?)
