An all-road, gravel, and commuter bike in one.
Make way for the 2023 Santa Cruz Skitch 1. It's actually available in drop bar long-range gravel builds and flat bar urban builds. So it's made for where and how you want to ride. Thriving on a fast and nimble Fazua Ride 60 motor. It offers 28 mph of pedaling assistance and 60Nm of torque.
Best of all, it can run over 60 miles on a single charge. There are three power modes to choose your ideal amount of range. The CC carbon frame is light, smooth, comfortable, strong, durable...giving you the most efficient and also the most thrill-inducing tides.
Geometry is based on the Santa Cruz Stigmata. But with a half-degree slacker head angle, slightly longer wheelbase, and 7mm longer chainstays on all sizes.
