Outfitted with a RockShox Super Deluxe Coil RCT shock for a more consistent, active feel on those blistering descents over thousands of vertical feet, this particular Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon CC XO1 Eagle Reserve RCT Coil Complete Mountain Bike shreds dedicated downhill courses, dismantles freeride lines in the mountains, and sends bigger park hits with uncanny ease. It's a bike that begs you to ride faster and push harder than you ever thought possible, thanks to its gravity-inspired geometry that's longer and slacker with the ability to fine-tune its riding feel with an adjustable flip-chip. This particular version of the Nomad Carbon CC carries all of the redesign features of the previous Nomad that were implemented in 2018; it's just updated with refreshing paint schemes that pop brilliantly when you're shredding bike parks and dropping into downhills.

Keep it in the high setting for a more efficient pedaling platform on rides with a mix of blistering descents and steep climbs. Conversely, you can switch it to the low setting for an even slacker geometry (head tube of 64. 6 degrees) that's purely aimed on downhill laps at the resort and sh...
