2026 Santa Cruz Stigmata CC — SRAM Rival 1x AXS
The Stigmata Rival 1x AXS is the entry point into Santa Cruz's premium gravel lineup — and it's anything but an afterthought. It pairs Santa Cruz's elite Carbon CC chassis with wireless shifting and wide-range gearing, making it equally suited for gravel racing, backroad exploration, and multi-day routes.
The Carbon CC construction delivers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio Santa Cruz produces — responsive under power, smooth over rough surfaces, and built to handle everything from race-pace gravel to rugged singletrack. The frame accepts up to 700x50mm tires for big-volume comfort and maximum versatility on mixed terrain.
A SRAM Rival AXS shifter paired with a GX Eagle AXS T-Type rear derailleur delivers crisp, reliable wireless shifting. The 10-52t cassette provides a massive gear range for steep climbs, fast descents, and long days on mixed terrain. The cable-free cockpit keeps things clean and low-maintenance — a welcome upgrade over any mechanical groupset.
A full-carbon fork keeps steering precise and predictable, while 160mm SRAM Centerline rotors and Rival hydraulic brakes offer consistent stopping power in all conditions. The Zipp Service Course cockpit provides stability and comfort for long rides. Triple bottle mounts and a built-in Glovebox down tube storage compartment round out the adventure-ready package.
Available in Matte Carbon and British Racing Green across sizes XS through XXL.
