Santa Cruz

The new carbon fiber Santa Cruz Nomad is a beautiful bike to say the least. Available in a variety of trim packages and colors the VPP equipped Nomad is a refined bike to say the least. It is configurable to a 27.1lb bike on their bike builder as well. This bike is designed to work with a 1X drivetrain only.

2014 Santa Cruz Nomad in Aqua Magenta

Geometry numbers look great as well and they’ve moved towards a longer reach/wheelbase that we’ve always been a fan of. Hopefully we see similar trends carry across their trail / enduro lineup. The Nomad frameset comes in at $2999.99

Stealth Black Nomad

The Nomad looks to be a quiver killer of sorts for many riders as this is a bike that promises to deliver on the way up and the way down in a big way. The complete bikes are well spec’d with ENVE M 70 thirty carbon rims and SRAM XX1 at the top end. Additional pictures of the new Nomad and more can be viewed in the gallery below.
