Nomad CC X0 Eagle Transmission Coil Reserve Mountain Bike

From bombing down double blacks to finessing the bike park, the Nomad is our weapon of choice when the riding is aggressive and technical. The Nomad is a long-travel enduro bike with slack geometry, a mixed-wheel setup, and 170mm lower-link VPP suspension. With a slack 63.8-degree head tube angle, the Nomad provides confidence-inspiring precision on steep descents, and the long reach and wheelbase give a stable platform for shredding gnarly lines. Size-specific seat tube angles, averaging at 77.5 degrees, ensure every rider on a Nomad gets the same perfectly centered position to be as efficient as possible on the climb back up, no matter what size frame we have. The Nomad's mixed-wheel setup takes its capability even further, with the efficient rolling 29-inch wheel up front taking care of rolling speed and efficiency. At the same time, the 27.5-inch rear tire gives us enhanced agility and a better turning radius. Size-specific chainstays ensure the optimal balanced and stable ride for all sizes, and a low top tube allows for more stand-over height to fit a broader range of riders. We turn to the flip chip in the shock link for the steepest and deepest trails, making our geometry lower, slacker, and longer for more confidence and a better center of gravity on steep trails. The Nomad has a Glovebox internal frame storage system that allows us to store our ride essentials in the frame's downtube. Additionally, integrated chainstay and downtube protectors keep our frame safe from rock strikes and chain slaps. At the same time, the shuttle guard allows us to throw our bike into the back of our truck bed so we can shuttle to the trailhead without worrying about scratching or denting our downtube.

The X0 Eagle Transmission AXS Coil Reserve build of the Santa Cruz Nomad features an electronic drivetrain, a coil-spring rear shock, and carbon wheels to give us a build that holds nothing back. Starting out with the frame, this version of the Nomad features Santa Cruz's Carbon CC frame, which uses the best carbon fiber available to give us a stiff, lightweight, and strong frame. SRAM's X0 Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain provides the most advanced tech in the electronic shifting world, giving us flawless shifting under load, a near bombproof construction, and its same huge 12-speed 10-52-tooth gear range. Next, a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate or Fox Factory DHX2 coil shock equips us with the best rear coil shocks on the market for unparalleled traction and small bump sensitivity. Reserve's 30 HD carbon rims take this build up another notch, slapping on some of the most trusted and strong carbon wheels on the market. A RockShox Zeb Ultimate or Fox 38 Float Factory, 170mm fork handles big hits up front and keeps us stable in technical terrain. To wrap it up, premium Maxxis Assegai and DHRII tires with DoubleDown casing support us under the heaviest of riding and supply unlimited grip when railing through berms at Mach speed.
