This does limit how far apart the chainstays can be placed though, and they have indents to add a bit of tyre clearance. I hadn’t until a few weeks ago, but I quickly learned about both on the first day of the Santa Cruz/Juliana media camp, an event that included a preview of the completely redesigned, bright yellow Santa Cruz Stigmata CC, and the brand new Juliana Quincy, followed by 50-mile group ride, Juliana Bike night, and good times with some solid folks. Otherwise, Santa Cruz kept the Stigmata fairly consistent with its predecessor, save an 11mm taller stack height (609mm on the 58cm model). On the road 45psi was my go-to pressure and I was happy to ride several hours on tarmac in comfort and at a good pace.The Rival groupset shifted smoothly once set up properly, but there was significant chainslap over bumps and the chain was prone to drop when carrying the bike, despite the chain catcher. There weren’t any irritating bugaboos to overanalyze and I ultimately didn’t have a single complaint with the Stigmata during that ride. Broadly speaking, there are three bikepacking genres to choose from – Multi-day Mountain Biking, Ultralight Race & Gravel, and Expedition & Dirt Touring. Pick a big gear and go mash for 20 minutes when that’s all the time you’ve got. Other than its lack of fork bottle cage mounts, I also think Santa Cruz could have easily fit a third pair of cage mounts on the downtube, similar to the Warbird. The color, which is more of a 3D layer prism, really, is one of the nicest paint schemes I’ve ever seen on a production bike. Here are all the details…Ever heard of a banana slug? At the back there’s a SRAM 11-32t cassette with a long-cage derailleur to handle the wide range.DT Swiss 370 hubs are laced to WTB asymmetric rims with high-volume, tubeless-ready WTB Cross Boss 35mm tyres. That said, it definitely has a few cons when approaching it from a bikepacking perspective. It was simply a joy to ride: comfortable, surprisingly capable, and handled very well. There are some routes that are made classic by their sheer perfection, and others by races. According to Santa Cruz, the Stigmata features an improved carbon layup this time around, borrowing from lessons learned on its XC-oriented Highball. Premier bikes, bicycle wheels, components, cycling clothing, gear & accessories. The Santa Cruz Stigmata has been the mountain bike brand’s carbon cyclocross race bike since 2015. And that nicely sums it up, really. But the AXSS Eagle model fixes that issue with a 500% range. I had the pleasure of seeing one during our ride in Big Basin and I’ll agree that the color is pretty dang close.Here’s the 2020 Santa Cruz Stigmata Force AXS 650B build, as photographed (size 56cm). And the 700c Ultegra model could definitely stand for a little better gearing if loaded up. Or, start from scratch with a frame for $2,299.I also grabbed some photos of a properly muddy Force AXS build the following morning. As well as the frame’s slack fork geometry, the rim/tyre combination plays a large part in the bike’s great handling.I was able to run the WTB tyres tubeless at 30psi or less without bottoming out on the rims, which gave great grip in mud and grass and rollover on rocky tracks. Note that all 650B builds come with the new SRAM AXS electronic shifter/derailleur, as well as a 10-50T Eagle cassette. All versions of the Santa Cruz Stigmata include a full carbon frame, SRAM groupset, and 700c wheels except the GRX version which comes with a Shimano GRX groupset. There is also a ‘Force AXS’ version that offers 650b wheels. Experienced riders who want a direct handling and agile bike that excels on tight courses will find what they need here. Santa Cruz specs SRAM 1 on its Stigmata CC, which should address these issues.The Stigmata was one of the first cyclo-cross bikes to adopt thru-axles and slack fork geometry from moutain bikes and both handling and stability on uneven surfaces are exceptional.PF30 bottom brackets have a reputation for being temperamental but I never experienced any creaking or problems. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google We have ~100 routes on our worldwide bikepacking routes map. Click the link below to learn about each. I’m curious to see how/if folks make this work with their regular Dynamo/cache battery systems.2020 Santa Cruz Stigmata completes come with either 27.5 x 2.0″ WTB Rangers or 700C x 40mm Maxxis Ravagers (or Ramblers, depending on the build). The Santa Cruz Stigmata was truly one of the first disc all-road bikes that opened my eyes to not only what an off-road bike could be, but what it should be.

Santa Cruz arguably produces some of the finest carbon fiber frames in the industry, something I found evident on the Carbon Chameleon (which, incidentally, I’ll be publishing my long-term review of this Thursday). The wide range 1x drivetrain is a welcome addition, however, only time will tell how the AXS system works out for bikepackers.
