Description
From training for our enduro race to doing laps at our favorite downhill trails, the Santa Cruz Nomad is our weapon when the day calls for a bike that can do almost everything. The Nomad is an aggressive enduro bike that features slack geometry, a mixed-wheel setup, and 170mm of lower-link VPP suspension. The Nomad was designed to bomb down the steepest hills and still remain efficient enough to climb back up and do it all over again. With a slack 63. 8-degree head tube angle, the Nomad provides stability and confidence on steep descents because the front wheel is out further in front of us. Size-specific seat tube angles, averaging at 77. 5 degrees, ensure every rider on a Nomad gets the same perfectly centered position to be as efficient as possible on the climb back up, no matter what size frame we have. The Nomad’s mixed-wheel setup takes its capability even further, with the efficient rolling 29-inch wheel up front taking care of rolling speed and efficiency. At the same time, the 27. 5-inch rear tire gives us enhanced agility and a better turning radius. Size-specific chainstays ensure the optimal balanced and stable ride for all sizes, and a low top tube allows for more stand-over height to fit a broader range of riders. For bike park riding or the steepest and deepest trails, we flip the chip in the shock link, making our geometry lower, slacker, and longer for more confidence and a better center of gravity on steep trails. The Nomad is fitted with a Glovebox internal frame storage system that allows us to store our ride essentials in the frame’s downtube. Additionally, integrated chainstay and downtube protectors keep our frame safe from rock strikes and chain slaps, while the shuttle guard allows us to throw our bike into the back of our truck bed so we can shuttle to the trailhead without worry about scratching or denting our downtube. The GX Eagle Transmission AXS Coil build of the Santa Cruz Nomad features an electronic drivetrain, a coil-spring rear…
