Zip it into the bag, chuck it in the van, or toss it over the tailgate – when you reach the trails, you’ll be glad you’re on a Nomad. The latest Nomad CC 90 delivers the composed, confidence inspiring ride the platform is known for, now refined with suspension that climbs more efficiently, brakes more predictably and grips harder across every section of the trail. The result is a bike that keeps you comfortable, controlled and ready for whatever the mountain throws at you.

Lighter Is Better
The new Nomad is 86 grams lighter than the previous generation, thanks to a slimmed down downtube and a refined carbon layup throughout the frame. This reduction is not just about chasing numbers – removing material in key areas increases compliance, helping the bike track the ground more smoothly on long, rough descents. You will feel the difference in your hands and feet at the bottom of the trail, and even more the next day when fatigue has not stacked up.
Small Changes, Big Difference
While the silhouette remains familiar, subtle refinements make the new Nomad more capable than ever. The head angle is now slightly slacker, matching the Bullit at 63.6 degrees in Hi and 63.3 degrees in Lo. Santa Cruz also reworked the kinematics of the tough, tuneable VPP suspension to deliver better all round performance. Reduced anti rise keeps the suspension active under braking, while lower anti squat improves traction, pedalling efficiency and comfort over square edge hits. After extensive testing and over 80 hours of tyres on dirt development, the result is a Nomad that encourages you to open it up and let it run.
Performance
With 170mm of travel at both ends and a mixed wheel layout, the Nomad CC 90 is built for riders who want to push hard on steep descents without sacrificing all day rideability. The updated suspension platform offers improved stability, better braking behaviour and increased traction, giving you a calmer, more predictable feel when the trail gets rough.
Who It’s For
Enduro racers, bike park riders and gravity focused trail riders who want a tough, capable machine that climbs efficiently and descends with total confidence.
