Nomad X0/90 Exclusive Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"If you're building a serious enduro rig and want a wheelset that absorbs abuse without flinching, the alloy Reserve 30 SLs are the right call. The asymmetric rim design keeps spoke tension balanced and the DT 350 hubs are as reliable as anything I've serviced. Combined with the Nomad CC's VPP chassis and the Eagle Transmission drivetrain, this build is ready for everything from enduro race days to consecutive park laps. It's stout, smart, and dialed."

Who It's For

Enduro and gravity-oriented riders who prioritize durability and long-term performance over weight savings.

The alloy wheel package suits intermediate to advanced riders who ride hard and often. The Reserve alloy rims handle rock strikes and hard compressions without drama, and the DT Swiss 350 hubs are among the easiest in the category to service. Whether you're progressing toward race-level enduro or already dialing in race fitness, this build grows with you.

What It's For

Technical enduro terrain and bike park runs where suspension travel, brake power, and drivetrain reliability matter most.

The Nomad CC alloy package performs on steep, loose, and technical trails where the 170mm VPP rear suspension and Fox 38 fork keep the bike composed under pressure. The MX wheel configuration optimizes rollover speed up front while keeping the rear snappy in tight switchbacks. This bike is equally at home on a weekend shuttle lap as it is on a multi-day enduro stage.

Why We Like It

A proven VPP chassis, race-ready drivetrain, and durable alloy wheels make this a complete enduro build with nothing left out.

Santa Cruz's lower-link VPP suspension provides mid-stroke support and bottom-out resistance that holds up across full days of aggressive riding. The Fox Float X2 Factory shock includes independent high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment. Paired with the Fox 38 Float Factory fork featuring Kashima stanchions and Grip X2 damping, the suspension package is race-ready out of the box. The frame's 73mm threaded bottom bracket, UDH dropout compatibility, and 2.5in tire clearance make this a long-term platform built for future upgrades.

The SRAM Eagle Transmission ecosystem is the most sophisticated mechanical drivetrain SRAM has produced. The Eagle 90 T-Type rear derailleur uses a Full Mount interface that eliminates the traditional hanger, improving shift precision and crash resilience. SRAM Maven Silver hydraulic brakes with 200mm rotors provide race-grade stopping power with tool-free reach adjustment and mineral oil servicing. The Reserve 30 SL Alloy MX wheelset closes it out with asymmetric rims, DT Swiss 350 hubs, and a 30mm internal width that supports tires from 2.2in to 2.6in across the most demanding enduro terrain.

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.
