2027 Santa Cruz Nomad 7 CC Frame

The Big-Hit Platform, Built Your Way

The Nomad 7 CC frame is the foundation for one of the most capable long-travel bikes out there. Built for riders who want downhill confidence without being tied to uplifts, this is a frame that’s ready to be built exactly how you want it.

With 170mm of VPP travel, mixed wheels, and Santa Cruz’s top-tier CC carbon construction, it delivers the same aggressive, confidence-inspiring ride the Nomad is known for, now with a more refined and composed feel across rough terrain.

If you’ve got a vision for your next big bike, this is where it starts.

Frame & Suspension Platform : Refined Where It Matters

The CC carbon frame isn’t just lighter, it’s been reworked to ride better. A revised layup and slimmer downtube add compliance, taking the sting out of repeated hits and long descents without dulling feedback.

Santa Cruz have also updated the VPP kinematics to improve how the bike behaves under real-world riding:

More traction when climbing and pedalling
Better control through square-edge impacts
Reduced brake dive on steep terrain

It’s still a big travel bike, but one that feels more composed and less fatiguing when pushed hard.

Geometry & Setup : Built to Be Pushed

The MX wheel setup, 29” front and 27.5” rear, keeps the Nomad’s signature ride feel. Stable and planted up front, agile and easy to move at the back.

A slightly slacker head angle and refined geometry make it even more confident when speeds climb, while still keeping that playful, poppy character that makes the Nomad more than just a plough bike.

Why Choose the Frame Only Option

Going frame-only gives you full control over the build. Whether you’re carrying parts over, chasing a dream spec, or building something unique, the Nomad platform supports it.

CC carbon construction for strength and low weight
170mm VPP travel tuned for aggressive riding
Geometry adjustment to fine tune your setup
Proven durability for season-after-season use

Nomad 7 Frame : The Starting Point for Something Serious

This isn’t a blank canvas for a lightweight trail build. It’s a foundation for a proper big bike that can handle steep, fast, and unforgiving terrain.

Build it light, build it tough, build it exactly how you want. The Nomad frame gives you the platform to do it right.
