We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Composition and care

Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x AXS Rigid Carbon Gravel Bike
Not every gravel rider wants a suspension fork or a dropper post adding weight and complexity to a bike built for covering ground fast. The Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x AXS is built for that rider a rigid, race-oriented Carbon CC frame paired with a full SRAM Force eTap AXS 2x drivetrain, giving genuine front and rear shifting range for a bike that’s meant to hold pace on demanding, mixed-terrain courses. The 2x setup (43/30T crank, 10-36T cassette) trades some of the ultra-wide range of a 1x mullet build for tighter, more precise gear steps, which matters when cadence and pacing count on race day. DT Swiss XR 361 rims, Sapim Race spokes, and SRAM hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors round out a build focused on being fast and predictable rather than maximally capable on rough terrain. It’s offered in traditional road-style centimeter sizing (52 through 60), which suits riders coming from a road racing background more directly than generic S-XXL sizing.
Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x Overview
This Stigmata build sits apart from Santa Cruz’s suspension-equipped, dropper-post gravel builds. It’s a rigid frame and fork setup, built around a 2x drivetrain rather than the wide-range 1x mullet configuration found on other Stigmata builds. That combination suits a rider prioritizing race-day efficiency and precise gearing over rough-terrain capability.
The frame uses the same Carbon CC layup as Santa Cruz’s other Stigmata builds, keeping weight down, but pairs it here with a fully rigid seatpost and a build kit weighted toward road-racing pedigree components like the Easton EA90 stem and EA70 AX handlebar.
Features and Benefits of Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x
2x SRAM Force eTap AXS drivetrain
A SRAM Force Wide crank (43/30T) paired with a 10-36T XG1270 cassette gives a genuinely wide range across two chainrings, with tighter steps between gears than a typical 1x setup. For a rider used to road-style shifting and pacing, that precision matters over long, varied-terrain races.
Wireless electronic shifting
SRAM Force eTap AXS shifters and derailleurs (both front and rear) are fully wireless, removing cable routing and maintenance from the equation. Shift quality stays consistent regardless of cable tension or wear, which matters on a bike likely to see mud and rough conditions.
Rigid frame and fork
Unlike suspension-equipped gravel builds, this Stigmata runs a fully rigid setup no fork travel, no dropper post keeping weight down and the ride feel more direct. This suits riders who prioritize efficiency and low weight over absorbing rough terrain.
Hydraulic disc braking
SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm CLX rotors give strong, consistent stopping power in wet and dry conditions, an important upgrade over rim brakes for genuine mixed-terrain racing.
Race-oriented wheels and tyres
DT Swiss XR 361 Asym rims on DT Swiss 350 hubs, laced with Sapim Race spokes, pair with Maxxis Rambler tyres at 700x40c — narrower than the 45c tyres on Santa Cruz’s suspension-equipped Stigmata builds, favoring rolling speed on harder-packed gravel and mixed surfaces.
Road-style sizing
Available in 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60cm sizes, a sizing convention more familiar to riders coming from road racing than the S-XXL sizing used on Santa Cruz’s mountain and suspension-gravel models.

Applications and Industries
1) Competitive gravel racing prioritizing efficiency and precise gearing
2) Long-distance mixed-terrain rides on hardpack and moderate gravel
3) Riders transitioning from road racing who want familiar sizing and 2x shifting
4) Riders who prefer a lighter, rigid build over suspension and dropper-equipped gravel bikes
5) Fast group rides and gravel fondos where pacing consistency matters
Why Choose This Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x AXS
A 2x drivetrain isn’t the trend in gravel right now, but it still solves a real problem tighter, more precise gear steps for a rider who wants to hold a specific cadence rather than accept the wider jumps common on 1x mullet setups. This build pairs that gearing precision with a fully rigid frame and fork, keeping weight down for riders who don’t need suspension or a dropper post for their typical terrain. Wireless SRAM Force AXS shifting front and rear removes cable maintenance from a bike likely to see mud and rough weather, and road-style centimeter sizing makes fit more direct for riders coming from a road racing background. For a rider focused on speed and precision over rough-terrain capability, this is a purpose-built option.
Quality Standards
Santa Cruz builds the Stigmata’s Carbon CC frame to the same engineering standards applied across its gravel and mountain bike lineup, regardless of build kit.
Packaging Options
Bikes typically ship partially assembled in protective packaging, with final assembly (front wheel, handlebar alignment, brake bleeding, AXS drivetrain pairing) completed by a dealer or an experienced home mechanic familiar with wireless electronic groupsets.
Shipping and Export Information
Shipping timelines and export documentation vary by destination and order volume. Customers ordering internationally or in bulk should confirm current lead times and freight options directly with YM Racing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this Stigmata use a 2x drivetrain instead of 1x?
A 2x setup gives tighter, more precise gear steps across two chainrings, which suits riders who want to hold a specific cadence rather than accept the wider gaps typical of a 1x gravel drivetrain.
Is this build wireless electronic shifting?
Yes. Both the front and rear SRAM Force eTap AXS derailleurs and the shifters are fully wireless.
Does this bike have a suspension fork?
No. This build is fully rigid, with no fork travel or dropper post, unlike Santa Cruz’s suspension-equipped Stigmata builds.
What size tyres does it come with?
700x40c Maxxis Rambler tyres, front and rear, narrower than the 45c tyres on the suspension-equipped Stigmata builds, favoring speed on harder surfaces.
How is sizing structured on this bike?
It uses road-style centimeter sizing (52, 54, 56, 58, 60cm), rather than the S-XXL sizing used on Santa Cruz’s mountain and suspension-gravel models.
What brakes does this bike use?
SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm Centerlock rotors, front and rear.
What’s the gear range on this build?
A 43/30T crank paired with a 10-36T cassette, giving a wide range across two chainrings with tighter steps than a typical 1x gravel setup.
What colours are available?
Gloss Brut and Grey, and Gloss Lavender and Gloss Carbon.
Is this a good choice for gravel racing?
Yes. The rigid frame, precise 2x gearing, and race-oriented wheels and tyres are built specifically around efficiency and speed for competitive gravel riding.
Is assembly required after delivery?
Yes. Bikes ship partly assembled, and setup, including AXS drivetrain pairing and brake bleeding, should be completed by a shop experienced with wireless electronic components.
Conclusion
The Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 2x AXS takes a different approach from Santa Cruz’s suspension-equipped gravel builds, betting on precision gearing and a lighter, rigid frame instead of rough-terrain absorption. For a rider who wants tight, predictable gear steps, wireless shifting reliability, and a build that rewards efficient pacing over technical capability, this is a genuinely race-focused option built around speed rather than compromise.
