Santa Cruz Stigmata 4 CC Force 1x AXS Reserve 700c Complete Bike 2027

Gravel/Adventure bikes are versatile machines designed for exploring mixed terrain, combining elements of road and mountain bike frames for comfort and stability. They offer traction and stability on various surfaces. Whether on gravel roads, light trails, or city streets, these bikes provide a perfect balance between comfort, performance, and versatility.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

Combining the tradition of mechanical rim brakes and the precision and efficiency of modern electronic shifting, SRAM Force eTap AXS shift-brake levers are fully wireless and fully personalizable. Classic is now new.

Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface. Beyond that, its Full Mount attachment method creates a far stronger connection that grips both sides of the frame. The new Transmission derailleurs feature the same intuitive pairing and set-up procedure as our Eagle AXS derailleurs. Featuring an overload clutch that boosts resiliency and a tucked-in profile that houses protection covers on the B-knuckle and outer link that are fully replaceable, or upgradeable to the XX skid plate.

The X0 Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Cassette is a major reason why Eagle Transmission offers the best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load. Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. Beyond its unique and stunning Dark Polar finish and electroless nickel plating for incredible resistance to corrosion and wear, its full X-Sync design literally means the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Its strength is further proven by its full approval for E-MTB use. It’s been built for a 55mm chainline for even more durability and precision thanks to milder chain angles throughout the full range, low to high. From its massive 520% gear range, the 52 tooth cog steps down with improved gear progression with 44 and 38 tooth cogs in the low end (compared to the Eagle drivetrain 10-52-tooth cassette). What else? It has a clearly marked Setup Cog, making install both simple and fool-proof.

FEATURES

• Full X-SYNC for best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load
• Optimized gear steps on low end
• 55mm chainline compatibility for more moderate chain angle, longer wear and greater precision
• Setup Cog for fool-proof set up
• Features X-DOME with a lighter aluminum 12th gear
• Fully E-MTB approved

With Eagle Transmission being the first of its kind, fully integrated and interdependent system, the X0 Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Flattop Chain is so much more than just a chain. Its unique flat top design makes it the strongest change chain we have ever made. With equal importance, it upgrades the look of any super machine. These details matter. It features a Dark Polar finish specific to X0, has been plated with electroless nickel, and comes with a PVD coating for unbelievable resistance to corrosion and wear. Fully approved for E-MTB use with solid pins.

FEATURES

• Strongest SRAM chain ever
• Specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission
• Flattop profile, unbelievable shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics

Small changes can make a big difference. SRAM optimized the Force AXS hood shape to provide increased finger wrap for more hand sizes, so you can stay secure sprinting for town lines, committing to the rut in a muddy CX race, or chattering down a long gravel descent. What hasn’t changed is the power and modulation of SRAM's acclaimed hydraulic disc brakes. Intuitive shift logic and easy-to-find shift paddles mean these controls really sparkle.

The EC70 Seatpost takes Easton's superlight unidirectional carbon and applies their patent pending ISA technology - Independent Saddle Adjustment - which allows for completely independent fore-aft adjustment and saddle adjustment. With the 2 pitch adjustment bolts, the saddle angle gets locked into place as if you were adjusting limit screws, and unlike single bolt designs, you get adjustability and security.
