Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC 90 MX '27

The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC 90 MX is designed for aggressive enduro riding where stability, traction, and control matter most. Built on a carbon CC chassis with a mixed-wheel layout, it combines long-travel suspension with modern geometry to stay composed on steep descents while remaining agile enough for tight, technical trail features. This is a platform built for riders who push hard into rough terrain and expect consistent performance when speed and consequences both increase.
