About this product
The 2024 Santa Cruz Nomad 6 C R is a long-travel enduro mountain bike built around a carbon C frame that weighs only approximately 250 to 280 grams more than the higher-grade CC version, while sharing the same manufacturing facility, techniques, and overall strength and stiffness. It runs 170mm of travel front and rear, paired with a mixed-wheel setup featuring a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear (size XS uses 27.5-inch both ends). Suspension is handled by Santa Cruz's lower-link mounted VPP system, which uses two short links rotating in opposite directions to allow precise tuning of shock rates for the bike's intended enduro character. Geometry can be adjusted via an integrated flip chip for high or low settings, and proportional chainstay lengths ensure consistent handling across the full size range. The frame includes internal brake and dropper cable routing for a clean build, and the downtube-integrated Glovebox storage compartment comes fitted with a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse for organized trail-side carry.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Santa Cruz Nomad 6 for its exceptional downhill capability and confident handling, with the mullet wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear) widely credited for delivering a well-balanced mix of stability and playful agility. The updated VPP suspension, with lower anti-squat and a more linear leverage ratio, earns strong marks for sensitivity and traction on rough, square-edged terrain. The Glovebox in-frame storage is a frequently highlighted bonus. The most common criticism is that the entry-level R build's SRAM NX drivetrain feels underpowered relative to the bike's gravity-focused character, and the high price point is a recurring concern. Some reviewers also note that setting sag is fiddly due to the absence of a sag window on the VPP lower link.
