Santa Cruz Bicycles Skitch CC GX Eagle AXS Transmission E-Bike

Why We Like The Santa Cruz Skitch CC GX Eagle AXS Transmission e-Bike

Whether gravel grinding or commuting, the new Santa Cruz Skitch is one of our top choices when we need a lightweight and efficient ride. The Skitch is the latest edition to Santa Cruz´s lineup and is an electric gravel bike that is the powered version of Santa Cruz´s new Stigmata gravel bike. The Skitch has a lightweight Fauza60 drive system that keeps the weight to a minimum while providing all-day power. With a 430Wh battery, 28mph top speed, a 100-kilometer range, and three individual drive modes, the Skitch is so efficient it provides the same range as a full-power e-MTB but at a much lighter weight. Each mode can be customized in the Fauza app for complete personalization, and a super quick 3.5-hour charge time means we don´t have to worry about charging our bike the night before. A 69-degree head tube angle keeps us capable and under control when the adventure takes us off-road while maintaining snappy handling. 700c tires give us tons of efficiency and straight-line speed, and a 50mm tire clearance allows us to run wider tires for more traction when the road turns to dirt.

The GX Eagle Transmission AXS build of the Santa Cruz Skitch gives us a premium electronic drivetrain, drop bars for all-around capability, and quality components. Every build of the Skitch features Santa Cruz´s premium Carbon CC frame for a super lightweight and stiff frame as well as a carbon CC fork to keep the weight to an absolute minimum. SRAM´s GX Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain provides flawless electronic shifting, near indestructible components, and the ability to shift under load. Easton ARC Offset 25 rims paired with DT Swiss 370 hubs give us a super durable and quality wheelset that is ready to take on any adventure, and SRAM´s new Level, Silver Stealth 2-piston brakes, give us tons of stopping power without the extra weight. For uncompromising speed and rolling efficiency, every build of the Skitch is fitted with Schwalbe G-One Overland Evo, 700 x 45c tires, allowing us to maintain our speed whether we are on the dirt or asphalt. Finally, Zipp´s Service Course 70 XPLR aluminum bar gives us a tucked and aero pedaling position to maximize our speed and efficiency both around town and on the trails.

*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. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.

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.
