Santa Cruz Bicycles Stigmata Carbon CC Force 1x 700c Reserve Gravel Bike

When lightweight versatility is key, we turn to the Santa Cruz Stigmata Carbon CC Force 1x 700c Reserve Gravel Bike for all-road adventures with a little bit of singletrack, pavement, and everything in between. The ultra-light Carbon CC construction perfectly balances stiffness and strength to give us better compliance and vibration damping so we can ride longer with less fatigue from washboard gravel roads. The geometry features a modern 71- to 72-degree headtube angle that lets us get into a riding position that's comfortable for long stretches yet powerful enough to crush massive climbs. Rounding out this adventure machine are internally routed cables for a silent ride and a clean cockpit, along with three different bottle cage mounts that keep hydration nearby when we choose to run a frame bag. This particular Santa Cruz Stigmata build spec is top of line, with reliable components to shave ounces where they can and create a bike that's worthy of any adventure. The 1x SRAM Force AXS 12-speed drivetrain combines lightning-fast, accurate shifting and a wide gear range with the simplicity of a 1x system, so we can spend more time riding and less time working on our bike. Carbon Reserve 25|GR 700c rims are laced up to the quick-engaging Industry Nine 1/1 hubs allowing us to hold a line in technical singletrack with ease while still delivering the speed we demand in the flats.

For those of us looking for a gravel grinder that's fully capable of a technical singletrack adventure or two, the Santa Cruz Stigmata Carbon CC Force 1x 700c Reserve Gravel Bike has everything we need for a day full of fun. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change.
