Lighter Is Better
The latest Nomad trims 86 grams from the previous generation, thanks to a slimmed down downtube and a refined carbon layup throughout the frame. This isn’t weight savings for the sake of it – reducing material in key areas increases compliance, helping the bike track the ground more smoothly on long, rough descents. You’ll feel the difference in your hands and feet at the bottom of the trail, and even more the next day when fatigue hasn’t stacked up.
Small Changes, Big Difference
While the silhouette remains familiar, the new Nomad benefits from subtle but meaningful refinements. 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 over 80 hours of tyres on dirt testing, the result is a Nomad that encourages you to open it up and let it run.
Performance
With Factory level suspension, carbon wheels and the latest wireless T Type drivetrain, the Nomad X0 AXS 2027 is built for riders who want a bike that climbs efficiently and descends with total authority. The combination of long travel suspension and refined geometry delivers a calmer, more predictable feel when the trail gets rough, steep or fast.
Who It’s For
Enduro racers, bike park riders and gravity focused trail riders who want a premium, fully dialled build that’s ready for the biggest terrain and the longest days in the mountains.
