Santa Cruz Nomad 6 CC X0 AXS kit

Pack your van, take a trip, climb every mountain, ride down at full throttle, jump road gaps, blast through the bike park, and ride lap after lap and lap. Sign up for the toughest enduro race you know. This bike can handle it and will get you out of the roughest situations. Its comfort zone begins where the flow trail ends. All it needs is a rider ready to go "on air."

MX wheels

The MX setup offers the stability and control of a 29-inch front wheel, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel provides agility and an active riding style. The perfect mix for lots of fun off-road.

Glovebox

Pack what you need under the sturdy flap in your downtube.

170mm VPP™ travel

It has 170mm of travel on the 38mm fork and 170mm of VPP™ suspension at the rear, compatible with air and coil shocks.

Size-dependent geometry

The Nomad's chainstay lengths increase with frame size, and the seat angle becomes steeper. This ensures that every rider – from S to XXL – gets perfect handling characteristics and the same balanced geometry.

A freeride bike with the necessary suspension travel for the steepest and toughest trails.

The VPP™ system can be optimized for each bike to always achieve the perfect balance between drivetrain efficiency and rear suspension performance. The Nomad is designed to effortlessly smooth out even the hardest impacts, allowing you to confidently glide through the roughest terrain. And because it still pedals so efficiently, the climb to the longest trails becomes not a chore, but a proven means to an end.

Fine responsiveness and perfect traction

A lower anti-squat value reduces pedal kickback during hard, high-speed impacts. At the same time, this improves responsiveness to provide maximum traction at all speeds, uphill and downhill.

Quick-witted and confident

A lower leverage ratio allows us to reduce the influence of rider weight on the geometry. And less progression allows the rear suspension to work more consistently throughout its travel.

Built to last

The short, stable rocker arms of the VPP™ system enable a very compact, robust, and stiff frame design. For maximum ease of maintenance and durability, the rear suspension bearings sit in the aluminum rocker arms on oversized axles. Grease nipples facilitate maintenance.
