That cosmetic issue allows us to offer it at a big discount while still giving the rider a fast, premium Santa Cruz e-bike with the standard lifetime frame warranty from Santa Cruz Bicycles. The Skitch is built for riders who want a lightweight electric bike that feels quick, clean, and useful everywhere from city streets to open gravel. It is efficient enough for big fitness rides, smooth enough for daily commuting, and powerful enough to turn short windows of free time into real adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop tube graphic bubbled and peeled off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carbon CC frame keeps the Skitch light and responsive, while the flat bar cockpit gives it confident control in traffic, on rough paths, and on loose dirt roads. The 2026 1.1 platform uses 700c wheels and modern, progressive geometry to keep the bike stable at speed without making it feel dull. A RockShox Rudy Base XPLR 40mm fork adds comfort and control over washboard gravel, broken pavement, and everyday rough surfaces. It is not a mountain bike suspension setup, but it gives the Skitch a useful edge when the ride gets less predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fazua Ride 60 drive unit is the heart of the bike. It delivers smooth pedal assist without overwhelming the natural ride feel, and the 430Wh battery gives the bike enough range for commutes, long loops, and mixed-surface exploring. In the United States, the Skitch is a Class 3 pedal-assist e-bike with support up to 28mph, making it a very quick option for riders who want to move through town, link gravel sectors, or cover more ground with less time spent fighting wind and traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GX AXS Flat Bar build is a high-end, performance-focused package. SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless shifting gives the bike clean electronic shifts and a wide 10-52 tooth cassette range. SRAM Motive Bronze brakes with 160mm rotors provide controlled stopping power, while the Reserve 40|44 carbon wheelset adds speed, stiffness, and a premium ride quality. Continental Terra Speed 700x50c tires keep the bike fast on pavement while giving it the volume and grip needed for gravel and hardpack dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Skitch is a strong fit for the rider who wants one premium e-bike for commuting, fitness, gravel, and fast everyday riding. It has the clean look and low weight that make it feel like a real bicycle, but it also has enough assist to make hills, headwinds, and longer routes much easier to manage. The graphic issue on the top tube is cosmetic, but the savings are substantial. For someone looking for a new Santa Cruz Skitch with a major discount, this Matte Iron Ore GX AXS Flat Bar is an excellent opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Santa Cruz","offers":[{"title":"Matte Iron Ore \/ M","offer_id":49054835376356,"sku":"SCB251222","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5456\/7396\/files\/2026-santa-cruz-skitch-cc-gx-axs-matte-iron-ore-lg-featured_0760cc65-3bea-4e04-8999-f28a1d27c724.jpg?v=1780941952","url":"https:\/\/www.airparkbikeco.com\/products\/2026-santa-cruz-skitch-1-1-cc-gx-axs-flat-bar-blemish-scb251222","provider":"Airpark Bike Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
