Nomad C Eagle 90 Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Nomad 6 C MX 90 is my go-to for shuttle days and bike park laps. It’s insanely capable and surprisingly efficient for how much travel it has. The FOX suspension really shines on big hits, and I haven’t had to touch the drivetrain—it’s been that consistent."

The Nomad C MX 90 Mountain Bike is built for riders who don’t tiptoe around the trail—they hit it wide open. Designed with 170mm of rear travel and a FOX 38 Performance fork up front, this build balances composure and aggression for serious enduro terrain. Santa Cruz’s refined VPP™ platform minimizes pedal kickback and stays active under load, delivering that plush-yet-supportive feel riders want when transitioning from techy climbs to fast, rowdy descents.

At the center of the build, FOX’s Float X Performance rear shock offers a large-volume air canister, adjustable rebound and compression, and high-speed support. SRAM’s 90-series DUB crankset pairs with the GX Eagle T-Type drivetrain for flawless power transfer and precise, load-bearing shifts. A 10–52t cassette range ensures uphill legs are never wasted, while the SRAM Maven Base brakes and HS2 200mm rotors provide consistent, fade-resistant power even on the steepest chutes.

Reserve’s alloy wheelset brings true all-mountain durability, with the front-focused 30|TR and reinforced 30|HD rear rim combo. Matched to Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II rubber with EXO+ and Double Down casings, the tire setup supports high-speed grip and serious protection. Whether chasing podiums or chasing your crew down rowdy lines, the Nomad C MX 90 has the muscle to back it up.
