A bulletproof, fun to ride and surprisingly versatile long travel bike, the Santa Cruz Nomad is the perfect companion for all kinds of gravity fed descending.
Pedal a big day out, take it to your local uplift or go and explore massive alpine trails; it will be an ideal bike for it all. With 170mm of travel, delivered by the latest iteration of VPP suspension, the Nomad is easy to ride, smooth and fast, yet retains plenty of pop and platform for when you hit the jump lines as well as the tech.
MX wheels ensure plenty of tire to butt clearance and keep the bike agile in the steeps, while the re-tuned VPP suspension platform now strikes the best ever balance between comfort and pedal efficiency. 5 sizes cover everyone from Small to XXL with rear centre, seat angle and carbon layup varying by size to give a balanced ride no matter which bike you are on.
The new CC frame saves weight (up to 283g) and adds compliance compared to the Nomad 6, while a re-designed Glovebox is now beefier to better withstand the high impact riding the Nomad can dish out.
This model, the C 90 bike, is the real value for money pick from the Nomad range; every part is ready to go, reliable and will hold up to proper riding, without adding any excess costs.
