Santa Cruz Nomad CC carbon frameset for enduro and aggressive all-mountain custom builds
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The first descent on my custom Nomad build reminded me why 170mm exists. It stays planted and tracks through the kind of terrain where shorter-travel bikes start deflecting and losing their line, and the VPP suspension climbs efficiently enough that getting back to the top never feels like a penalty."
Why We Like It
Santa Cruz went CC-only for this generation, meaning every Nomad frame regardless of build tier gets their lightest, highest-quality carbon construction. The redesigned layup also slims the downtube, which reduces weight and adds compliance, so the frame absorbs what the suspension doesn't on long, rough descents.
Building up the Nomad and want help dialing in the right spec? Our Gearhead® Experts know this frame inside out. Reach out, and we'll help you put together a build that matches how you ride.

Already knows the Nomad by name. Wants the most capable pedal bike Santa Cruz makes and won't compromise on travel, geometry, or build quality
The Downhill Dreamer
Lives for the descent. Tolerates the climb to get there. Wants a bike that stays planted and composed on the steepest, most technical terrain on the mountain
The All-Day Sender
Rides hard, packs light, keeps it simple. Needs a bike that handles everything from jump lines to rowdy backcountry descents without requiring a pit crew to maintain it
