Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad CC X0 AXS Transmission Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

The Santa Cruz Nomad CC X0 AXS is the pinnacle of what a long-travel trail bike can be

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the one you build in your head when you close your eyes. SRAM X0 AXS wireless shifting, Fox 38 Factory suspension, a Fox DHX2 coil shock, and Reserve carbon wheels on DT Swiss 350 hubs. The Nomad has always been a legend and this build does the name full justice. If you want the best, this is it."

Who It's For

Riders who want the absolute best the Nomad lineup has to offer.

This build is for the serious enduro rider who refuses to compromise. If you spend your weekends on the rowdiest trails you can find and want every component working at its peak, the X0 AXS RSV Coil is the Nomad built for you.

What It's For

The gnarliest terrain you can find, ridden as fast as you dare.

Built for committed enduro riding where every component needs to perform at the highest level. The Fox Factory suspension package, carbon Reserve wheelset, and X0 AXS drivetrain combine on Santa Cruz's most capable pedal bike platform for a ride that leaves nothing on the table.

Why We Like It

Top tier components on a redesigned VPP platform backed by a lifetime warranty.

The updated VPP suspension climbs efficiently, tracks better under braking, and handles big hits with total composure. CC carbon frame with Glovebox V2, top tube mounts, and lifetime warranty make this a bike built to last a long time.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.

Who Rides The Nomad:

The Nomad Loyalist

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
