Santa Cruz Bicycles Nomad CC X01 AXS Coil Reserve Complete Mountain Bike 2023

Trail

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

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.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

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.

The Fox 38 is the hard hitting, long-travel enduro specialist. When you need to go really big, reach for the 38. Optimized for 160 - 180mm of travel and packing the same revolutionary feature set as the Fox 36, the 38 redefines what you think a long travel single crown fork is capable of, and sets a new benchmark for confidence, performance and durability.

"Factory" says it all — feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.

Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and buttresses it with sophisticated progressive damping, a massive overall tuning range, and super low-friction internals in order to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.

Shift under load, over the roughest terrain, uphill, without changing your grip on the bar. GX Eagle AXS™ changes your level of control on the bike when you’re under pressure and pushing hard. More than that, it changes your relationship with the bike. No cable, housing or wires to manage opened up design and engineering possibilities with the GX Eagle AXS™ controller.

AXS powered components enable customization and scale to an individual rider’s liking via the AXS App. It features a shorter cage for 10mm more ground clearance, with more chain wrap on the cassette to sit slightly further forward, and further inboard from mechanical Eagle. The Eagle AXS derailleur is smart enough to protect itself thanks to its incredibly resilient Overload Clutch. In the event of an impact, the motor gearbox disengages, giving the derailleur freedom to move, and instantly returns back to its position for a seamless experience for the rider.

Quality and durability combine in the SRAM X1 crankset to deliver consistent performance every time out. Featuring options for both SRAM's XSYNC™ and EAGLE™ technology tooth profiles, the X1 crankset is engineered for complete chain control. With multiple chainring options available, you can personalize your gear range to match the way you ride. DUB™ technology features a better-engineered bottom bracket and a new spindle design. Together, these allow for a more uniform approach to bottom bracket fitment, better sealing against contamination and forward and backward compatibility. Now everyone can benefit from a new measure of durability.

FEATURES

• DUB™ technology features a uniform approach to bottom bracket fitment, better sealing against contamination and is forward and backward compatible.

The XG-1295 cassette gives riders more than ever before, with an unprecedented 520-percent range. For a little extra to avoid the hike-a-bike, a little more in the “spin to win” game, the XG-1295 cassette also allows stronger riders to increase their chainring size if they want.

FEATURES

• Provides a massive 520-percent gear range for brutal steeps and avoiding hike-a-bikes.
• Stronger riders can increase chainring size for speed, without sacrificing climbing.
• Avalable in Black, the Eagle™ Colorsystem lets the cassette and chain express the look of the bike.

It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. Hard Chrome technology extends the chain's optimal performance life.

FEATURES

• Groundbreaking chain design and technology
• The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology.
• Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity
• The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings

Meet the new standard for hard-hitting, heavy-duty braking. SRAM added 15% extra piston power and 30% more volume in the lever reservoir, ensuring peak performance for the full run. And with SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, lever feel remains smooth and progressive, no matter how hard the pull. Go deeper and grab more power.

Don’t let its familiar good looks fool you—Reverb is a whole new weapon with clean, stealthy internal routing. Engineered to provide legendary performance and reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have had to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. This is the RockShox Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.

The Reserve 30 is specially designed to stand up to abuse, featuring a 30mm width for use with 2.5 tires and a redesigned inner rim bed that takes the hassle out of seating new tires. Proven in the lab, backed by a lifetime guarantee, and ride tested in some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the 30 takes you there faster with a greater sense of confidence. Combined with Industry Nine's fantastic 1/1 hubs, this is an unbeatable wheelset. Reserve rims come with a lifetime guarantee.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.

With 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.
