The latest Santa Cruz Nomad builds on a proven enduro platform with subtle but meaningful refinements that improve both speed and control. The lightweight CC carbon frame has been re-engineered with a revised carbon layup and slimmer downtube, trimming weight while increasing frame compliance. The result is a bike that feels less fatiguing on long, rough descents without sacrificing the stiffness and precision needed for aggressive riding.
Santa Cruz has also refined the VPP suspension kinematics to improve performance across a wider range of terrain. Reduced anti-squat increases traction and pedalling efficiency, while lower anti-rise helps minimise brake dive, allowing the suspension to remain active when braking through rough sections. Combined with a slightly slacker head angle, these changes create a bike that feels planted, composed and confidence inspiring when the trail gets steep and technical.
Suspension duties are handled by a premium Fox Factory setup, with a 170mm Fox 38 Float Factory Grip X2 fork paired to a Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock. Together they offer exceptional small bump sensitivity, excellent mid-stroke support and plenty of adjustment to fine-tune the ride for everything from uplift days to enduro racing.
The mixed-wheel configuration combines a 29-inch front wheel for confident rollover and precise steering with a 27.5-inch rear wheel that keeps the handling lively and agile through tight corners and steep terrain. Reserve alloy wheels are paired with aggressive Maxxis High Roller and Minion DHR II tyres, delivering dependable grip and durability across demanding trail conditions.
Shimano's XT Di2 wireless 12-speed drivetrain provides fast, consistent electronic shifting under load, while the wide 10-51T cassette offers climbing gears for long transitions and close ratios for fast descents. Powerful SRAM hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm HS2 rotors deliver confident braking performance when speed and control matter most.
Practical details include Santa Cruz's Glovebox in-frame storage for tools and ride essentials, adjustable flip chip geometry, threaded bottom bracket for easier servicing, internal cable routing and a OneUp dropper post with generous travel. Together, these features create a highly capable enduro bike that's equally at home chasing race stages, riding bike parks or tackling all-day mountain adventures.
