Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad CC XT Di2 Mountain Bike

The Santa Cruz Nomad CC XT Di2 brings electronic precision to the most capable trail bike around

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"When you put Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting on the new Nomad platform, the result is something special. The drivetrain is virtually automatic, the Fox 38 Factory fork is phenomenal, and the coil shock setup soaks up everything. This is the build I'd reach for when the trail gets genuinely serious."

Who It's For

Dedicated enduro riders who want electronic shifting and factory suspension in one package.

This is the Nomad for riders who spend serious time on technical trails and want components that perform without fuss. If you want the reliability of Shimano's XT Di2 ecosystem paired with a Fox Factory suspension setup, the XT Di2 build delivers without requiring a full flagship budget.

What It's For

Demanding enduro terrain where factory suspension and precision shifting matter most.

Steep, technical, and unrelenting trails are where this build earns its keep. The Fox 38 Factory fork and Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock provide a suspension platform tuned for big hits and high speeds, while the MX mullet wheel setup keeps handling sharp on everything from loamy flow trails to raw chunder.

Why We Like It

Factory Fox suspension and electronic shifting on the Nomad's redesigned VPP chassis.

The updated VPP platform improves pedaling efficiency, reduces braking harshness, and delivers better traction through the travel. Backed by a CC carbon frame with Glovebox V2 and a lifetime warranty, this build is as durable as it is capable.

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
