The Original Big-Mountain Bruiser, Refined for Maximum Rowdiness

The Santa Cruz Nomad CC 27.5 S Kit is the battle-hardened veteran of freeride trails, steep alpine descents, and van-based road trips. Built around 170mm of front and rear travel, a carbon CC frame, and legendary VPP suspension, the Nomad is made to get thrashedand get back up begging for more.
