About this product

The Santa Cruz Nomad X0/90 Exclusive is a carbon CC enduro mountain bike built around 170mm of VPP rear travel and a matching 170mm Fox 38 Float Factory fork with the Grip X2 damper and 44mm rake. The Fox Float X2 Factory rear shock offers four-way adjustability, giving riders precise control over compression and rebound on steep, technical terrain. The SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission drivetrain ties together a 32t crankset, 10-52t XS-1295 cassette, Eagle 90 T-Type rear derailleur, and 12-speed trigger shifter into a system that shifts cleanly under load. SRAM Maven Silver hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm HS2 rotors front and rear provide reliable stopping power on sustained descents. The Reserve 30 SL Alloy MX wheelset runs a mixed 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear configuration on DT Swiss 350 hubs, paired with Continental Kryptotal tubeless tires in 2.4-inch width at both ends. A OneUp Components V3 dropper post offers 180mm of travel, while the 800mm OneUp carbon handlebar with 35mm rise and 8-degree backsweep rounds out a gravity-focused build suited to enduro and bike park riding. The frame carries a limited lifetime warranty, with a three-year coverage on paint and finishes.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Santa Cruz Nomad X0/90 for its exceptional descending capability, with the VPP suspension and mullet wheel setup (29" front, 27.5" rear) delivering superb traction, composure, and confidence on steep, rough terrain. The comfortable, balanced cockpit position and adjustable flip-chip geometry are also frequently highlighted. The Glovebox in-frame storage and lifetime frame warranty are appreciated practical touches. The most common criticism is that the bike is not a strong climber, particularly on tight, technical singletrack ascents, where its long, slack geometry feels cumbersome. Reviewers also flag the high price point relative to comparable competitors, and some note that the aggressive stock tires add rolling resistance on climbs. Shock accessibility for on-the-fly tuning has been called out as a minor but genuine frustration.
