Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC XT Di2 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
This XT Di2 build is designed to match the frame’s capability with top-tier components:
- Shimano Di2 XT wireless drivetrain for precise shifting
- FOX 38 Factory fork (170mm) for maximum front-end control
- Fox DHX2 Factory coil shock for ultimate downhill performance
- SRAM Maven Silver brakes (200mm) for powerful, consistent stopping
- Reserve 30HD/ Reserve 30|SL AL for strength and responsiveness
- OneUp dropper post for maximum clearance on descents
