Santa Cruz Stigmata-3 CC Frameset 2020

The Santa Cruz Stigmata CC Road Bike Frame is a ‘cross bike made for mountain bikers. The Stigmata is versatile. It’ll fit 45mm or 2.1 inch wide tires with room for mud but handles nicely with skinny road tires for base miles.

The significantly revised carbon layup borrows knowledge gained from not just the Highball, but also Danny MacAskill’s trials bike, to produce a ride so law-abiding you’d think HR had sent it on a compliance training course. Fender mounts add a bit of CYA, and three bottle cage mounts so you can carry a bottle and a frame bag at the same time. Santa Cruz reworked the 52/54cm frames so the Stigmata now comfortably suits riders from 5’3” and up. Different fork offsets—50mm for the 52-54cm sizes, and 45mm for the 56-60cm sizes—help ensure your little piggies don’t go to market on the front wheel.
