Overview
About this bike
Hang with the XC crew on the climbs and catch up to the freeride folks on the downhill with the Nomad Carbon. Santa Cruz pulls out all the stops on this one with 1-piece carbon construction and a 1.5-inch head tube which makes the Nomad predictably stiff. Push it into a corner and we'll see you on the other side. The Nomad suffers from personality disorder, it's light, snappy, quick and and easy pedaling; yet graceful, confident and burly on gnarly descents and technical terrain. It takes the rules of what an all-mountain rig should be and smashes them. Yeah, it's THAT good. VPP suspension, 160mm of travel, ISCG05 mounts, dropper post routing, grease ports at the links for easy maintenance, it's got it all. And the specs are legit: XT gearing and brakes, 160mm Lyrik fork and DT Swiss wheels.
