The Nomad has always been built for riders who push the limits, and the seventh-generation Nomad is no exception. Designed for steep descents, technical terrain, bike park laps, and big mountain adventures, it combines downhill confidence with surprising climbing efficiency.
Built around Santa Cruz's renowned VPP™ suspension platform, the Nomad delivers 170mm of rear travel paired with a 170mm fork, creating a bike that remains composed through rock gardens, jumps, drops, and high-speed descents while still pedaling efficiently back to the top.
Its MX wheel configuration (29" front / 27.5" rear) combines the rollover capability of a 29er with the agility and playfulness of a smaller rear wheel, making the Nomad one of the most capable enduro bikes in the Santa Cruz lineup.
