| Riding Type | Freeride | |
| Weight | 30 lb 14 oz (14005 g) | |
| Additional Info | The bike is still expanding my abilities while I rapidly approach 40. It is ridiculously planted, refuses to get off the ground unless ridden irresponsibly fast. New X2 is heavier but a better all-around shock than previous (better DH and trail-riding go figure), the 38 is way heavier but additional stiffness that I didn't know I wanted and is surprisingly more plush than the 36 it replaced. All the little ano-geekery bolts are from Pro-bolt USA. Previous Duroc 35 rims died horrible death. Weight is without pedals. | |

AMAZING BIKE!
I have a nomad 4 and want to run the float X2. What RWC needle bearing size and hardware do I need to mount it properly?
