Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesLong known for being the big bike that's worth pedaling to the top, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad A S Complete Mountain Bike is built to descend trails where full-face helmets are common and is efficient enough to be a daily driver. With 170mm of travel, there's really nothing this bike can't handle: even in bike parks and on shuttle days, when you head out with your Nomad you know the bike won't be your weakest link. Santa Cruz has built this model with burly parts to match its aluminum frame, making this a durable trail-mashing workhorse.
