Santa Cruz Bicycles Stigmata CC Force/X0 Transmission 1x Rudy Gravel Bike Matte Sour Grape, L

The Santa Cruz Stigmata Force AXS Rudy RSV adds a RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR fork and a Reverb AXS XPLR dropper post to the standard Force build, giving the rider a way to actually use the terrain the fork is absorbing instead of just surviving it. The fork's 40mm of front travel takes the edge off washboard and braking bumps, and the dropper clears the saddle out of the way so the rider can move around on top of the bike instead of staying pinned to one position. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Rudy fork soaks up the chatter on a rutted, off-camber descent that used to make me brake early. Losing that hesitation, plus what the dropper does for getting my weight back, is where this bike picks up real speed instead of losing it to rough terrain."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.
