The Santa Cruz Nomad CC XT Di2 puts factory Fox suspension and electronic shifting on 170mm of VPP
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The XT Di2 build is where the Nomad lineup makes a real jump. You get the Fox 38 Factory fork, Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock, and Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting all in one package. The Di2 system is remarkably intuitive and the Fox suspension is simply on another level compared to the RockShox builds below it. Reserve 30 AL 6069 wheels on DT Swiss 350 hubs round out a spec that punches well above its price. This is a serious enduro machine."
Who It's For
High-mileage enduro and all-mountain riders who demand factory suspension and electronic drivetrain reliability.
The XT Di2 build suits riders who have dialed their preferences and want components that perform consistently across long days and demanding conditions. Shimano's XT Di2 ecosystem offers automatic shift modes and precise electronic actuation that holds up ride after ride. Paired with the Fox Factory suspension package, this build is built for riders who know what they want and ride hard enough to justify it.
What It's For
Technical enduro terrain, lift access days, and any trail where factory suspension makes a difference.
The Fox 38 Float Factory fork with Grip X2 damper and Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock are tuned for the kind of sustained, high-speed, technical riding where suspension quality matters most. The 63.6-degree head angle and 170mm of VPP travel inspire confidence on the steepest, roughest terrain, while the MX mullet setup keeps the bike agile and responsive. Frame compatibility with up to a 27.5x2.5 rear tire and 36t max chainring keeps setup options open.
Why We Like It
A suspension and drivetrain package that elevates the entire riding experience.
The Nomad 7's redesigned VPP kinematics bring lower anti-squat and reduced anti-rise compared to the previous generation, improving pedaling efficiency, reducing square-edge harshness, and keeping the rear wheel tracking better under braking. The revised leverage rate adds small-bump sensitivity deeper in the travel for a more consistent feel from top to bottom. These are real, noticeable improvements that make the platform worthy of the Factory suspension spec it carries.
Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting with a 10-51t cassette offers crisp, reliable gear changes with minimal rider input. The system is compatible with Shimano's Di2 app for custom shift mapping and adjustment. SRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakes with 200mm rotors front and rear deliver strong, modulated stopping power. Reserve 30|SL + 30|HD AL 6069 wheels laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs represent a meaningful upgrade in hub engagement and bearing quality over the builds below.
The CC carbon frame includes the updated Glovebox V2 with improved latch engagement, top tube accessory mounts, and mechanical derailleur routing on all frames, all backed by Santa Cruz's lifetime warranty. The Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock is size-specific tuned with spring rates ranging from 400lb to 550lb depending on frame size, ensuring consistent feel across the lineup. A OneUp dropper post, 42mm OneUp Enduro stem, and 800mm carbon bar complete an aggressive, trail-focused cockpit.
Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.

Who Rides The Nomad:

The Nomad Loyalist
Already knows the Nomad by name. Wants the most capable pedal bike Santa Cruz makes and won't compromise on travel, geometry, or build quality

The Downhill Dreamer
Lives for the descent. Tolerates the climb to get there. Wants a bike that stays planted and composed on the steepest, most technical terrain on the mountain

The All-Day Sender
Rides hard, packs light, keeps it simple. Needs a bike that handles everything from jump lines to rowdy backcountry descents without requiring a pit crew to maintain it
