Product Details
The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC 90 is designed for riders who refuse to compromise and demand a bike that can stomp gaps, stamp passports, and handle whatever the trail throws their way. Whether you're a downhill dreamer suffering the climbs to enjoy the descents, a core SCB fan who wants all the travel and confident geometry, or a pedal-neck who lives flat out on the trails and in the van, the completely redesigned Nomad delivers more efficient climbing, less reactivity under braking, and improved traction everywhere in between.
Built around refined VPP suspension that traces its roots from the lower-link V10, the Nomad 7 represents the most capable descender in Santa Cruz's pedal bike lineup while pedaling more efficiently than ever before. The evolved kinematics feature reduced anti-squat that vastly reduces harshness associated with square-edge hits while increasing pedaling efficiency and improving traction and composure.
The CC carbon frame is now available across all models with stiffness tailored to ensure everyone gets the same ride quality, plus size-specific chainstay length and seat angle so every rider experiences the same balanced geometry. Key geometry updates include a slightly slacker head angle, steeper seat angle for improved climbing position, and a lower link flip chip to fine-tune your ride. The improved Glovebox V2 storage system offers better ease of access and storage inside the downtube. Perfect for riders seeking a no-excuses enduro weapon with renowned Santa Cruz reliability.
