Santa Cruz Nomad C

The Nomad is designed specifically for enduro riding and aggressive terrain. Its 170mm of travel and robust build make it ideal for technical bike park laps, steep descents, and backcountry freeride challenges where durability and suspension performance are critical.

The MX setup pairs a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel to give you the best of both worlds. The larger front wheel rolls over obstacles and maintains stability at speed, while the smaller rear wheel allows for quicker cornering and more clearance on steep, technical sections.

While it is a gravity-focused machine, the Nomad is surprisingly capable on climbs thanks to the efficient VPP suspension platform. It won't be the fastest bike on a cross-country sprint, but it is designed to pedal comfortably back to the top of the trail so you can hit the descents again.

Yes, the Nomad C 90 includes a dropper post as standard equipment. This is essential for a bike in this category, allowing you to instantly drop your saddle for technical descents and raise it back up for efficient pedaling.

Yes, the Reserve 30 aluminum wheels are tubeless ready. Running tubeless is highly recommended for this type of riding, as it allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats.

The SRAM Maven 4-piston brakes are designed for heavy-duty stopping power, making them well-suited for the long, steep descents the Nomad is built for. They offer consistent, reliable performance even on extended runs where brake fade might be a concern with lighter-duty systems.
