Product Details
The Santa Cruz Nomad C 90 is a high-performance machine built for aggressive riders who demand top-tier control and confidence on the most technical and challenging terrain. Featuring a Carbon C MX frame and 170mm of VPP suspension, this bike is designed to take on everything from backcountry freeride challenges to all-out bike park sessions. Load up the van, hit the road, climb a mountain, hammer it back down, huck the gap, throw the bike back in the van, drive to the bike park, and do laps on laps. Hell, you could even rock up to the startline of the world’s wildest races. The Nomad’s forte is being ready and willing to go wherever, whenever. The only thing it needs is a rider willing to press send.
Equipped with a FOX 38 Float Performance fork and FOX Float X Performance shock, the Nomad offers a smooth, controlled ride through the gnarliest descents and toughest hits. The mixed-wheel setup—29” in the front for stability and 27.5” in the rear for enhanced agility—provides the perfect balance of control and playfulness.
The SRAM 90 Eagle T-Type drivetrain delivers seamless, precise shifting, while the SRAM Maven Base brakes with 200mm rotors ensure reliable, powerful stopping power on long descents. Rolling on Reserve 30 aluminum wheels with Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tires, the Nomad maintains superior grip across any terrain.
Built for riders who live for big drops, technical climbs, and all-day adventures, the Nomad C 70 is ready for any challenge you throw at it.
