The latest iteration of Santa Cruz's Nomad is a gravity fiend's dream come true. Stepping slightly away from the enduro-realm where 29ers seem to be getting a slight edge, Santa Cruz reconfigured the new Nomad as a freerider's rig, one that could serve lift service and shuttle duty on DH trails and in the park and offer efficient pedaling to get you into places where the natural terrain is so choice. This particular build is outfitted with a RockShox Super Deluxe Coil RCT shock that provides a more consistent and plush feel on those extended descents over thousands of vertical feet. By replacing air with steel springs and reducing the number of dynamic seals, heat management is better and the suspension is so much more sensitive. While aboard the Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon CC X01 Eagle RCT Coil Complete Mountain Bike you'll attack the downhill courses and send it on the biggest freeride lines in the park and rugged backcountry terrain knowing that the bike can gobble up anything in its path.

We wouldn't hesitate to hit up shuttle laps on the gnarliest downhill trails in the morning, perfect our park laps in the resort in the afternoon, and pedal some rugged alpine terrain the next day.
