Take the road less traveled with confidence on the Santa Cruz Stigmata CC Rival AXS Gravel Bike. This bike is perfect for roadies looking to get a bit rough and mountain bike enthusiasts looking to tone things down a notch, providing the technical features of a MTB and the lightweight efficiency of a road bike. Designed around the 70mm stem, the long reach and a slack head tube angle provide a progressive mountain bike geometry for off-road performance and overall riding comfort. This model of the Stigmata is spec'd with SRAM's Rival AXS groupset, providing us with reliable, intuitive shifting with AXS-enabled personalization. The 1x 12-speed setup features a 10-44T cassette and a 40T chainring to ensure we have the proper gearing for climbs, descents, and everything in between. When it's time to hit the brakes, we rely on the SRAM Rival AXS hydraulic disc brakeset for pinpoint control.
