Santa Cruz Bicycles Stigmata CC Rival AXS Gravel Bike

Stigmata Rival 1x AXS takes on gravel and singletrack with CC carbon and wireless shifting

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Stigmata isn’t just my gravel race rig—it’s my ‘ride anything’ bike. The geometry feels fast without being twitchy, and with GX T-Type and Rival AXS, the shifting is rock solid on washboard climbs and singletrack alike. It’s the one I take when I don’t know where the route ends—or what kind of terrain I’ll hit."

When we’re chasing a sunrise on a gravel epic or linking doubletrack with singletrack through the backcountry, the Santa Cruz Stigmata Rival 1x AXS is the bike we trust to keep pace with the journey. It´s equal parts gravel race machine and trail taming adventurer—fast, stable, and unshaken when the terrain gets rowdy. Built on Santa Cruz’s lightweight and responsive Carbon CC frame, this modern drop-bar ripper opens the door to fast miles and untamed detours.

This build pairs SRAM’s wireless Rival eTap AXS shifter with the rugged capability of a GX Eagle T-Type Transmission, giving us a massive 10–52t range for steep climbs and smooth, intuitive shifts no matter the load. A carbon Easton seatpost, Zipp cockpit, and tubeless-ready Easton ARC wheels round out the build, rolling on Maxxis Rambler 700x45c tires for grip and speed across all terrain. Room for up to 50mm tires and a threaded BSA bottom bracket make it as serviceable as it is capable. Wherever the ride leads, the Stigmata doesn’t blink—it just begs for more.

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.
