Santa Cruz Stigmata CC Force/X0 Transmission 1x Rudy Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“This Rudy build is my go-to when courses get choppy. Force AXS lever feel stays crisp, the X0 Eagle T-Type mech handles shifts under load, and the short-travel Rudy fork keeps my hands fresher and lines cleaner through braking bumps and washboard. Reserve 25|GRs stay precise when you square edges, so I can push race pace without getting rattled.”We ride farther when the bike disappears beneath us, and the Stigmata Force 1x AXS RSV Rudy does exactly that. Santa Cruz blends a lively Carbon CC frame with a Rudy gravel fork to take the sting out of washboard and keep steering precise when the course gets fast and rough. With wireless Force AXS controls driving an X0 Eagle T-Type derailleur and a deep-range cassette, we’ve got seamless shifts from headwind tarmac to loose, steep doubletrack.Reserve 25|GR wheels on DT Swiss 350 hubs spin up quickly and shrug off hard hits, while Maxxis Rambler rubber balances low rolling resistance with confident bite. The RockShox Reverb AXS XPLR, 27.2mm post adds seated comfort, and practical touches—threaded BB, UDH compatibility, generous tire clearance, and three bottle mounts—make this our pick for race mornings and rambling, rough-road adventures alike.Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
