Nomad C GX AXS Transmission Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Nomad GX AXS is my go-to for hitting bike parks, shuttle runs, and enduro stages. The mixed-wheel setup keeps it playful in tight corners while maintaining high-speed stability, and the 170mm FOX 38 Float Performance Elite fork paired with the Float X shock soaks up big hits. SRAM’s GX Eagle AXS drivetrain delivers crisp, wireless shifting, and the Glovebox storage means I can carry tools and snacks without a pack. If you like to ride hard and send big, this bike is built for it."

From park laps to backcountry freeride lines, the Santa Cruz Nomad GX AXS is built for riders who live for big descents and high-speed send-fests. The Carbon C frame delivers the strength and stiffness we need to charge steep lines, while the mixed-wheel setup—a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear—keeps the ride stable yet nimble through tight switchbacks.

With a FOX 38 Float Performance Elite fork and a Float X Performance Elite shock providing 170mm of buttery-smooth suspension, we can confidently plow through chunky rock gardens and boost over gaps. SRAM's GX Eagle AXS drivetrain offers flawless wireless shifting, while Reserve aluminum wheels with Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tires ensure maximum traction on steep, loose terrain. Whether we’re ripping park trails, shuttling big descents, or tackling enduro stages, the Nomad GX AXS is built for riders who refuse to hold back.
