Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC XT Di2 Complete Mountain Bike 2027

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.

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.

Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

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.

This fork features the GRIP X2 damper for maximum adjustability: high- and low-speed compression adjustment, plus high- and low-speed rebound adjustment.

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.

The Shimano XT Di2 shifter feels instantly natural out of the box, but can also be molded to fit any hand, thanks to its familiar fit and evolved adjustability design. Multiple shift modes, like hold-down multi-shift and 2-step multi-shift, offer versatility and precision, while the tactile click prevents mis-shifts and a tunable third button allows for additional system tuning or third-party connection.

The all-new XTR M9250 long-cage derailleur paired with a standard 10-51T M9200 cassette gives riders and racers the speed, range, and robustness to tackle every trail on the mountain. With built-in Automatic Impact Recovery, an impact-deflecting shape, and simple covered-pulley solutions, this derailleur stands up to harsh trail impacts and still retains its lightning-quick shifting speed and top-level performance.

The M8100 chain provides enhanced chain retention thanks to an extended portion of the inner plate. The chain features quick-link assembly and SIL-TEC treatment for extended offroad durability.

SRAM Maven Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver features a bold black anodized finish with stainless hardware. And for unrivaled ease of customization, features tool-free Reach and Contact Point Adjust.

Known for its no-nonsense smooth cable actuation, short overall length, and easy serviceability, the OneUp Dropper is a solid choice for dependable and customizable performance.

The Maxxis High Roller II uses an open and aggressive tread design intended to find traction in loose conditions. A large channel between the the center knobs and side knobs provides a looser, drifty feel.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• EXO+: Durable 60 TPI casing, legendary EXO puncture protection in the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the bead to protect from pinch flats and help prevent rim damage.

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.

• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.
