Santa Cruz has released a new version of its Stigmata gravel bike. The new bike looks to have borrowed some of the American brand's mountain bike knowledge and is touted as a more capable, adventure-focused machine aimed at opening up a wider range of gravel riding to a broader spectrum of riders.
Santa Cruz claims that gravel is now a spectrum - a point we learned when testing gravel bikes - and that the Stigmata will rise to any occasion, as a bike that accommodates MTB riders gravitating toward drop bars or roadies looking to get rowdy.
