A true freeride legend, the Santa Cruz Nomad is a big-travel mountain bike designed for bike parks, enduro racing, and aggressive downhill riding. Built to handle jumps, drops, and technical terrain with ease, the Nomad has been dominating the trails for years and remains a top choice for riders who love sending it big.
170mm of front and rear travel, the Nomad is made to take on the gnarliest terrain. Its MX wheel configuration (29" front, 27.5" rear) provides stability at speed while keeping the rear end agile and playful. The VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension linkage ensures a plush, controlled ride, keeping the bike planted on rough descents and confident in big send situations.
The Nomad is not designed for all-day pedalling, making it less ideal for trail centre laps. However, if you're heading to uplift trails, enduro races, or freeride spots, this bike is built to thrive. The Nomad is at its best when charging steep lines, hitting big jumps, and sending technical downhill sections with ease.
Available in Santa Cruz’s C and CC carbon frames, the Nomad delivers strength, durability, and a lightweight feel. Choose from two colour options and a range of top-tier build kits, allowing you to customize your ride to your performance needs and budget.
As with all Santa Cruz bikes the Nomad is covered by the best lifetime warranty in the business
