Always a heavy hitter, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad 6 C GX AXS Coil Complete Mountain Bike brings a level of confidence to every trail. Built to bash, it's a hugely capable bike that's surprisingly adept at climbing, too. If you're riding gnarly terrain, bike parks, or shuttles, the Nomad is the most fun in the Santa Cruz lineup: equal parts playful and forgiving, the original daily driver DH bike you can pedal. This build features SRAM's new GX AXS Transmission drivetrain, a wireless marvel that's as burly as the rest of the components on this beast. This is a shining example of what a mountain bike can do, get on board!

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.

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.

RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ Coil Rear Shock – Super Deluxe Coil Select+ is an evolution of consistent, proven performance. It brings to the table the unmistakable feel of coil that you already love, now stronger and more rough-ready than ever, thanks to the newly designed chassis shared with the Ultimate level of the Super Deluxe Coil family. Topped off with optional adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out resistance to custom-tailor that bottomless feel.

SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission – The next generation SRAM Eagle Transmission is a radically robust, fully integrated and interdependent wireless drivetrain. Built around the universal constant of the wheel axle itself, the Full Mount hangerless attachment creates a far stronger connection to the frame with a super tough derailleur. Shifting under load is made possible due to a combination of X-SYNC technology and cassette mapping, creating seamless shifts even during your hardest power output. The new AXS Pods are extremely ergonomic and highly customizable, so shifting gears is light and intuitive.

SRAM Code Bronze Stealth – SRAM's latest Code features a new lever assembly, designed to complement the latest AXS components. It features the same powerful four-piston caliper and customization options, but with a new, lower-profile form that sits closer to your bars.

SRAM HS2 Rotors – When it comes to heat dissipation, and therefore power, thicker is better. SRAM's new HS2 rotors are 2.0mm thick, helping them avoid heat fade and maintain their power on long descents.

Maxxis Assegai Front Tire – With tall knobs that punch through dust and loam to find traction, this tire offers support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.

Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear Tire – A real rider's tire choice, these Minions bring a mix of rolling resistance, wear, and performance that can't be beat.

Mixed Wheel Sizing (S-XL Sizes) – The mixed "mullet" wheel sizing of top level racers has trickled down to the rest of us: with a 29" wheel up front for maximum grip and rollover clearance, you'll have a smoother and more solid stance through rough stuff and turns. The smaller 27.5" rear wheel helps you initiate those turns, while keeping the rear end maneuverable and out of your shorts.

RaceFace ARC Offset 30mm 29" / 27.5" Rims Laced to DT Swiss 370 Hubs – All-around rad ARC rims are slightly tweaked with an new asymmetrical profile. Fully dialed to be stiffer, stronger and optimally balanced, these crazy-versatile rims come in every width imaginable to cover XC to plus bikes and everything in between. These rims are laced to tough DT Swiss hubs.

Price and Spec Subject to Change

Santa Cruz Carbon Handlebar – Designed and made exclusively by Santa Cruz, using everything they've learned from creating World Championship winning carbon bicycles. Each bar has a dialed amount of stiffness, keeping vibration in check and minimizing arm fatigue. Discrete markers take the pain out of set-up alignments and stealth branding keeps things class.
