Product Info
Got some heavy trails calling your name? Meet the Santa Cruz Nomad 6 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike, a carbon workhorse with battle-worthy components that's ready for some bad decisions. With a mixed wheel setup and 170mm of travel front and rear, this rig is equal parts playful and forgiving. It's perfect for the rider who spends most of their time in the steeps and jank, and is more than capable of hanging with dual crown downhill smashers in the bike park. This build features Fox Performance Elite suspension, SRAM Maven Bronze brakes, and a SRAM GX AXS Transmission drivetrain, a wireless marvel that's as burly as the rest of the components on this beast. Get on board!
Product Details
Key Features
Carbon C Frame – A 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.
Travel – 170mm Front / 170mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear) / Size XS: 27.5"
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP 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. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
Proportional Chainstay Lengths – With rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.
Integrated Flip Chip for High / Low Geometry Setting
Internal Brake & Dropper Cable Routing

Used For
Enduro If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Frame Material
Carbon Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

Fork
Fox 38 Performance Elite GRIP X2 The Fox 38 is the hard hitting, long-travel enduro specialist. When you need to go really big, reach for the 38.

This fork features the GRIP X2 damper for maximum adjustability: high- and low-speed compression adjustment, plus high- and low-speed rebound adjustment. - Stanchion Diameter (mm): 38

Brake Levers
SRAM Maven Bronze SRAM Maven Bronze features monstrous 18 and 19.5mm pistons driving 50% more power than Code. But best-in-class power means nothing unless you’re able to harness it. The Maven Bronze lever body houses Swinglink, which translates rider input for progressive power throughout the lever pull, maintaining SRAM’s signature ride feel. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. Maven Bronze features a Dark Polar Anodized finish, and tool-free Reach Adjust. - Brake Calipers: SRAM Maven Bronze
