Nomad C GX AXS Transmission Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"This bike is built for rowdy lines, fast descents, and sending it big. The mixed-wheel setup keeps things balanced-fast and stable up front, nimble and playful in the rear. The FOX 38 Float Performance Elite fork and Float X shock provide incredible support through rough terrain, and SRAM's GX Eagle AXS drivetrain shifts flawlessly even under pressure. Whether I'm smashing enduro lines or flowing through jump trails, the Nomad GX AXS delivers confidence and control."

Big hits, steep descents, and fast, technical terrain demand a bike that can handle it all, and the Santa Cruz Nomad GX AXS rises to the challenge. Built around a Carbon C frame and a mixed-wheel setup, this long-travel enduro machine offers the perfect blend of high-speed stability and agile handling. The 29-inch front wheel rolls over obstacles with ease, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel enhances maneuverability for quick direction changes in tight terrain.

FOX suspension leads the charge, with a 170mm 38 Float Performance Elite fork soaking up big compressions and a Float X Performance Elite shock providing progressive rear-end support. SRAM's GX Eagle AXS drivetrain keeps shifting seamless and reliable, while the Reserve aluminum wheelset, paired with DT Swiss 370 hubs, ensures durability on aggressive descents.

Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tires give the traction needed to push hard in loose, rocky terrain, and the Glovebox internal storage lets riders stash essentials for all-day sessions. Whether tackling enduro stages, bike park laps, or backcountry freeride lines, the Nomad GX AXS is the go-to bike for riders who send first and ask questions later.
