Whether looking for a versatile commuter, a high-performance training machine, or just a way to escape the busy streets, we look to the Santa Cruz Stigmata CC Rival AXS 2x Gravel Bike for it all. This carbon-built gravel grinder is up for anything, providing us with comfortable geometry, stable riding, and minimal off-road fatigue thanks to a long reach, slack head tube angle, and a 70mm stem. Gravel riding is a versatile discipline, allowing us to choose our adventure from flat, loose trails to packed rolling hills, and the 12-speed Rival AXS 2x groupset is prepared for it all. The 10-36T cassette pairs with the 43/30T chainring to ensure we have enough gearing for any terrain, while the centerlock disc brakes ensure we can stop quickly and confidently on a moment's notice. Rolling on the Easton ARC Offset 25 700c wheels with Maxxis Rambler tires, we roll fast and efficiently without fear of flatting or losing our grip.
