Product Info

Bigger, badder, and more downhill savvy than ever before, the new Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad 4 C XE Complete Mountain Bike boasts a fully redesigned geometry and a progressive lower-link shock design. Complementing the raked out 65° head angle and VPP® suspension, this build features plush RockShox suspension that gives it the smooth sailing feel of a DH rig while an efficient Shimano XT 1x11 drivetrain and lightweight carbon frame work to retain pedal-ability on the ups. If you're a dirt cowboy who loves to take the spicy line and never shies away from burly features (whether natural or man-made), then the aggressively reworked Santa Cruz Nomad 4 C XE Complete Mountain Bike is the horse you oughta kick a leg over.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon C FrameA minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.

170mm VPP® SuspensionVPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines.

RockShox Super Deluxe RCT ShockSolid Threshold adjustment for pedaling performance, compression adjustment to fine tune the ride to any trail and condition, and the proven performance of RockShox’s revolutionary Super Deluxe rear shock in a package that’s ready to tackle any challenge.

Shock Adjustments2-Position Lever (Open, Pedal | Low Speed Compression in Open Mode | Rebound Adjust

Progressive Lower-Link Shock ConfigurationSimilar to that of Santa Cruz's V10 downhill bike, this configuration creates a shock rate that's supportive and progressive -- an ideal scenario for rough terrain.

Bolt-On Shuttle Guard/Downtube Protector + Shock FenderTo ward off wayward rocks and the sandpaper effect of tailgate transport. The integrated fender works to keep crud out of the suspension.

High & Low Geometry Settings via Flip Chip in LinkThe high setting sets the bike up for added versatility, while the low setting slacks it out to near-DH levels. In either setting, the Nomad's longer reach equates to added stability.

Fork

RockShox Lyrik RCT3The new Lyrik gets the new Charger 2 damper, which reduces overall weight, increases bump-sensitivity and traction, and reduces the force needed to turn knobs and lock in the best setting for the terrain. And since today’s enduro riders demand ultimate pedaling efficiency, the new Lyrik is remote compatible, which allows for on-the-fly compression control.

Drive Train

Shimano XT ShifterErgonomically designed for prolonged enjoyment. Simple, adaptable cockpit.

Race Face Turbine CranksetThe Turbine continues setting the benchmark for performance aluminum cranks and cements the Turbine legacy. Featuring the proven Race Face Cinch System interface, the Turbine is an incredibly light and stiff performance crankset for today's modern XC, trail, and all-mountain rider.

e*thirteen TRS Race 11-Speed 9-46T CassetteThe 9-46T range allows you to climb further up the mountain without sacrificing top end gearing. Clean steeper climbs and blast the descents!

Shimano XT Rear DerailleurRider tuned for sharp and silky shifts.

Brakes

SRAM Code RSC BrakesetCode RSC is built from the elements that made Guide a benchmark in contemporary brake design and performance, and delivers an extra 15% power to shine in all heavy duty applications. SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearings ensure a smooth and progressive feel at the lever, while the additional 30% positive fluid volume ensures consistent performance even when braking harder, more frequently or with a heavier mass to slow down.

Avid Centerline RotorsThe new Centerline Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.

Wheelset

Maxxis Minion DHF Front TireThe Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.

Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear TireWith side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo!

Additional Features

RockShox Reverb Stealth Dropper SeatpostDon’t let its familiar good looks fool you—Reverb is a whole new weapon. Its internals have been completely re-engineered to improve on its already legendary performance and to offer enhanced reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have been re-evaluated and updated to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. Additional bushing overlap also improves performance over time. This is the brand-new Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.
