Few remember the first aluminum Stigmata that graced Santa Cruz's lineup for just four seasons starting in 2007. The Bay Area has always been a hotbed for 'cross in the US and, in much of the same spirit of the early days of mountain biking, local builders fabricated frames with more progressive 'cross geometry then what was the norm of the day. Many of the angles and tube lengths seen on those California barrier hopping bikes are reflected in the geometry of CX bikes that we see today. We were quite surprised when Santa Cruz dropped the bike from the line but figured with Santa Cruz moving many of their mountain bike frames to carbon fiber and the influx of disc brakes on CX bikes, it must have a Stigmata redux on their hands. After sitting out five cross seasons, the release of the new Stigmata represented just what we expected in a new drop bar bike from Santa Cruz: carbon fiber construction, disc brakes, and geometry versatile enough to tackle tarmac, mud bogs, and the burgeoning gravel scene.
We often think of the Stigmata as the mountain biker's road bike. It's plenty capable of hanging with the shaved leg set when pedaling perfect circles and racking up base miles, but if the idea of linking up endless forest service roads while looking at a topo map, or pinning a number to a skinsuit in the fall tickles your fancy, all you need is a simple tire swap and the Stigmata is happy to oblige. Even though most of the road bikes kicking around here at Competitive Cyclist have rim brakes, we can see the benefits of disc brakes on the road and we can't fathom riding 'cross or gravel without discs. The fork's 15mm thru-axle and 12 x 142mm rear dropouts keep the axles anchored in the dropouts whether we were blurry eyed in braking bumps or shooting for the holeshot off the line.
The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and Ultegra drivetrain provide miles of trouble free use. The group is elegant and beautiful enough for road use but not afraid to kick up a little dust or get covered in mud. Internal routing, carbon dropouts and disc mounts, a tapered headtube, and electronic drivetrain compatibility help futureproof the frame and were made possible with the frame's carbon construction. The bottom bracket is pressfit 30, a first for Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz doesn't hide its favoritism for threaded bottom bracket shells, but in order to get the frame to work with more road bike cranks and the ability to increase the diameter of the downtube, a pressfit shell was needed. Clearance for tires up to 41mm with room for mud makes the Stigmata perfect for racing and off season riding.
