Santa Cruz Stigmata 4 Force-1x RSV

The Stigmata blurs the lines between a hardcore adventurer and a successful gravel racer. The Stigmata was designed for riders who seek their greatest challenge, escape onto barely traveled paths, and prefer the toughest route. Whether you're sporting a flowing shirt or a tight-fitting jersey, with the Stigmata, the detour is the destination. The Stigmata is an off-road speed bike. Its singletrack prowess stems from its progressive geometry, ample clearance for wide tires, and the technical know-how we've transferred from our mountain bikes. It's the SUV for the road cyclist who seeks new, wild trails instead of endless asphalt. Or the road bike for the mountain biker whose call to the wild beckons them on ever-greater adventures.

• Long reach, slack head angle - adaptation of the progressive MTB geometry for improved off-road capability.
  700c wheels - Low rolling resistance and excellent rolling characteristics
• Up to 50mm tire clearance (45mm standard) - Choose fast or fun tires. Or fast and fun.
• Telescopic seatpost - get the thing out of the way when the road goes steeply under or over it.
• UDH – The same dropout as on your MTB. Compatible with SRAM transmission.
• Glovebox - Store snacks and tools in the bike, not on your body or in flimsy bags.
• 70mm stem - paired with a longer reach, the rider's hands stay where they are needed for comfort and off-road capability.
• Geometry suitable for suspension - The geometry has been optimized for the larger installation length of 40mm gravel suspension forks.
