Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC 90 2027
The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC is built for riders who want full-send capability without compromise. Designed around a 170mm VPP suspension platform and mixed wheel setup, this latest Nomad pushes even further into aggressive enduro and bike park territory while staying efficient enough for all-day missions.
The Nomad 7 uses Santa Cruz’s top-tier CC carbon construction, delivering a lighter, stiffer, and more responsive frame compared to the standard C option. It’s engineered to handle big hits and high speeds while maintaining a precise, controlled ride feel.
Stiffness is carefully tuned across each frame size, ensuring every rider gets the same consistent ride quality, whether you’re on a small or XXL.

170mm VPP Suspension – Big Hit Performance
At the core of the Nomad is Santa Cruz’s refined Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension system, delivering:
- 170mm rear travel paired with a 170mm fork
- Coil shock compatibility for maximum downhill performance
- Improved sensitivity without sacrificing pedalling efficiency
The updated lower-link driven layout provides a planted feel on descents while still remaining surprisingly efficient on the climbs.
MX Wheel Setup – Stability Meets Agility
The Nomad 7 CC runs a mullet (MX) wheel configuration:
- 29” front wheel for confidence and rollover
- 27.5” rear wheel for agility and control
This combination gives you the best of both worlds—stable at speed but still easy to throw around on tight, technical trails.

Built for Performance

- RockShox Zeb Select, 170mm for maximum front-end control
- RockShox Super Deluxe Select for ultimate downhill performance
- SRAM Maven Base for powerful, consistent stopping
- Reserve 30|TR AL / Reserve 30|HD AL for strength and responsiveness
- OneUp dropper post for maximum clearance on descents
