2022 Santa Cruz Stigmata 3 Inventory

The party never ends with this Santa Cruz.

The Stigmata is back with more mountain bike standards. The frame clears up to 45mm or 2.1" tires. The 2.1" option can be joined with a Force/X01 mashup kit. Then you have an incredible drop-bar singletrack and gravel rallycat. The geo is tweaked to improve handling for smaller riders 5'3" and up.

The threaded bottom brackets and fender mounts are favorites. There's less toe overlap, too. And it's all topped up with a 12mm front axle, flat mount brakes, and build-specific Reserve wheel packages. This bike is made for whatever you want it for.
