Stigmata Frame

The Stigmata is a versatile gravel frame designed for riders who want one bike to handle everything from fast gravel racing and rough singletrack to long-distance bikepacking trips. Its geometry balances speed and agility, making it equally capable on smooth pavement and technical off-road terrain.

The frame accommodates tires up to 50mm wide on 700C wheels. This clearance provides plenty of room for high-volume tires, which helps with traction and comfort on loose or rocky surfaces.

No, it uses a standard threaded BSA bottom bracket. This is a reliable, user-friendly choice that makes maintenance and component swaps straightforward compared to press-fit alternatives.

Yes, the frame features a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH). This is a great benefit for long-term ownership, as it ensures wide compatibility with current and future drivetrain components and makes finding a replacement hanger much easier.

The Stigmata uses a 27.2mm seat post diameter. This size is intentional, as it offers a bit more natural compliance and vibration damping compared to larger diameter posts, which helps smooth out rough gravel roads.

Santa Cruz's Carbon CC construction is their top-tier layup, designed to be both lightweight and exceptionally durable. It provides a stiff, responsive feel for efficient power transfer while maintaining enough vertical compliance to keep the ride comfortable during long days in the saddle.
