Stigmata CC Red/Force AXS Transmission Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the most dialed gravel build I’ve ridden. The Reserve carbon wheels are super responsive without beating me up, and the X0 Transmission is just insanely smooth no matter the terrain. It feels just as fast on rough singletrack as it does hammering a big climb. This is the bike I’d take for an ultra or an all-day solo mission—no question."

Fast, capable, and unapologetically premium—the Santa Cruz Stigmata RF 1x AXS RSV is built for riders who don’t compromise. Whether you’re linking backcountry passes on loaded rides or flying down loose fire roads at race pace, this top-tier Stigmata pairs adventure-readiness with race-day DNA. From its Carbon CC frame to its Reserve carbon wheels and wireless X0 Transmission, every detail is selected for speed, control, and long-haul reliability.

The drivetrain brings SRAM’s wireless X0 Eagle AXS T-Type derailleur and Red AXS shifter together for smooth electronic shifting across the massive 10–52t cassette. A Force AXS crankset with a 42t ring keeps the gearing trail-tough, while Avid Centerline rotors and a DT Swiss 350 hubset provide power and precision. Rolling on Reserve 25|GR carbon wheels and Maxxis Rambler 700x45c tires, this build flies over everything from loose gravel to chunky connectors. Add in a Zipp cockpit, Easton carbon post, and WTB Fusion saddle, and you’ve got a gravel machine that’s light, efficient, and endlessly capable.

Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
