Learn more about the Santa Cruz Stigmata
The Santa Cruz Stigmata is a gravel bike built for riders who want speed, control and freedom across mixed terrain. It blends the efficiency of a race bike with the stability of a modern off road design. The result is a bike that feels fast on open roads and confident on rough tracks. It is made for riders lining up for big events, heading out on long days or choosing the hardest way to get there.
Built for modern gravel riding
The Stigmata uses a long reach and a slack head angle to give you stability on technical ground. The geometry is corrected for 40 mm gravel suspension forks and the frame is dropper compatible, so riders can set it up for rougher routes. Room for 50 mm tyres adds comfort and grip on loose surfaces, and front derailleur compatibility gives riders more gearing options.

Practical features for long days out
The Glovebox storage system lets you carry tools and essentials inside the frame, even with full frame bags fitted. This keeps weight low and secure on long rides. The CC carbon frame is built to last and comes in sizes XS to XXL, giving a good fit for a wide range of riders.
Designed for different riding styles
The Stigmata suits a wide range of riders. It works for mountain bikers moving into gravel, road riders looking for more freedom and riders who want a reliable partner for long distance events. It is stable, efficient and ready for fast group rides, solo missions or multi surface adventures.
