Stigmata CC Apex 1x Gravel Bike

Santa Cruz built the Stigmata around a geometry chart that reads closer to a cyclocross bike than a road bike, with a 69.5-degree head tube angle holding steady across every size and 45mm of fork offset keeping the front end quick when the terrain turns technical. That same platform carries Glovebox in-frame storage and low-profile fender mounts, so the frame pulls double duty as a rack-free bikepacking rig and a wet-weather commuter without changing anything about how it handles.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The range on this cassette closes most of the gap to a mountain cassette without asking for a mountain-style rear derailleur, so I get low gears for loaded climbs without adding a battery or a proprietary derailleur hanger interface to babysit."

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 Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.
