2022 Santa Cruz Nomad 5 C S

The search for the ultimate trail is never-ending, but with the 2022 Santa Cruz Nomad C S Kit full suspension enduro mountain bike, you’ll be equipped to explore them all. Designed with 170mm of travel and remarkable climbing abilities for its class, the Nomad C S Kit tackles descents with ease and powers back up without the need for a shuttle. This bike is built for the long haul with its robust suspension, SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain, and nearly indestructible components, making it a reliable companion for any adventure.

Big mountain riding is a nomadic journey—meeting friends in remote parking lots, seeking out trails you’re not even sure are rideable, and conquering the ones that are. The Nomad is designed for this life of adventure, where your gear gets battered, but your spirit remains unbroken. The Nomad is the most abused bike in the lineup, and every one has a story to tell, yet they all keep coming back for more. Thanks to sealed bearings in all pivots, a lower link grease port, shuttle guards, and free bearing replacements, this bike is built to last. Santa Cruz’s approach to sustainability means their carbon fiber isn’t just lightweight; it’s tough as nails, backed by a lifetime warranty and crash replacement support.

When you’re on a road trip, there’s no time for second-guessing your setup. That’s why the Nomad rolls on 27.5-inch wheels, perfect for a wide range of riding styles and rider sizes. The 64-degree head angle and 77-degree seat angle position you perfectly for climbing and descending, while proportional chainstay lengths ensure balanced handling across all frame sizes. With 170mm of travel in the fork and VPP rear suspension, compatible with both coil and air shocks, the Nomad is ready for anything. Tidy cable routing, a rear shock mud flap, and rubberized DT protectors add the finishing touches, making the Nomad a bike you can rely on all summer long. Just don’t expect the same from public washrooms or parking tickets.
