Whether in the bike park, on alpine descents, or on challenging freeride lines—the Santa Cruz Nomad is right at home wherever the terrain gets rough and maximum control is required. Designed for riders who love big jumps, technical sections, and long descents, the Nomad combines stability, traction, and riding fun at the highest level. The redesigned suspension ensures more efficient power transfer, improved braking performance, and even more traction on a wide variety of surfaces. As a result, the Nomad rides smoother, faster, and with greater control—even as the trails get more challenging. The Santa Cruz Nomad is the ideal choice for anyone looking for an uncompromising enduro and freeride bicycle that truly shines on technical trails, big jumps, and long descents.
Thanks to a new carbon layup and an optimized down tube, the frame weight has been reduced. At the same time, the frame’s compliance has been improved, resulting in greater comfort and additional traction. The result: less fatigue on long descents and a noticeably more confident riding experience.
The geometry has been specifically refined. The flatter head angle of 63.6° in the high position and 63.3° in the low position ensures added stability and confidence on steep and technical terrain. This keeps the Nomad precise and inspires confidence even at high speeds.
More robust and user-friendly with a new locking mechanism and rubberized edge for better grip and to prevent rattling.
The newly tuned VPP kinematics improve performance in all riding situations. A reduced anti-squat value increases traction and ensures a sensitive suspension response to hard impacts, while the lower anti-rise value improves suspension performance during braking. This keeps the suspension active and controllable even on challenging sections.
