Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad CC X0 Eagle Transmission Coil Mountain Bike

When the forecast calls for a day of steep and aggressive descents and shuttle road climbs our go-to choice is the Santa Cruz Nomad. With its slack geometry mixed-wheel setup and 170mm lower-link VPP suspension the nomad is ready to tackle the steepest descents attack the most technical trails and hit the biggest jumps with ease. With a slack 63. 8-degree head tube angle the Nomad provides confidence-inspiring precision on steep descents and the long reach and wheelbase give a stable platform for shredding gnarly lines. 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. We turn to the flip chip in the shock link for the steepest and deepest trails making our geometry lower slacker and longer for more confidence and a better center of gravity on steep trails. The Nomad has 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. At the same time the shuttle guard allows us to throw our bike into the back of our truck bed so we can shuttle to the trailhead without worrying about scratching or denting our downtube. The X0 Eagle Transmission AXS Coil build of the Santa Cruz Nomad features an electronic drivetrain a coil-spring rear shock and a build that holds nothing back. Starting out with the frame...
