Product Details
The Santa Cruz Nomad 6 C GX AXS is the ultimate bike for riders who demand versatility, performance, and durability across a wide range of terrains. Whether you're tackling gnarly gaps, crushing steep climbs, or hurling yourself down the most technical descents, this bike is ready for anything you throw at it. With 170mm of front and rear travel, the Nomad offers all the cushioning you need to conquer the steepest, most rugged trails without sacrificing pedaling efficiency.
At the heart of the Nomad’s exceptional ride is its VPP suspension, which can be fine-tuned to strike a perfect balance between bump absorption and pedaling efficiency. The suspension provides incredible sensitivity and traction, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride, whether you're powering uphill or charging downhill. By reducing anti-squat, the Nomad minimizes pedal kickback on rough hits, allowing for a more stable and responsive ride that retains excellent traction in all conditions.
Designed for flat-out control, the Nomad 6 features geometry improvements that enhance stability throughout the travel. The reduction in progression offers better tracking qualities, so the bike stays glued to the ground, even on the most unpredictable terrain. This stability is further complemented by a short, stout counter-rotating link system that reduces lateral flex, creating a robust, long-lasting chassis.
Durability is a key feature of the Nomad, with simple, reliable components like expanding collet axles and large diameter pivots designed to handle the toughest conditions. The grease port on the lower link makes maintenance easy, while Santa Cruz offers lifetime replacements for the high-quality bearings, ensuring that your bike stays in top condition for years to come.
The Nomad is more than just a bike—it's a ticket to adventure, built to take you wherever you want to go, whenever you're ready to send it.
