A 2x drivetrain earns its keep when a rider wants tighter gear steps than a wide-range 1x setup can offer, especially on routes that mix fast pavement sections with genuine climbing. The Santa Cruz Stigmata Rival 2x AXS-Kit CC 24<\/strong> delivers that with a fully wireless SRAM Rival AXS groupset, running both a front and rear derailleur across a double-chainring crank paired with a 10-36T cassette. The rigid CC Carbon fork and frame keep the build light and direct, and Easton ARC Offset 25 rims on DT Swiss 370 hubs give a dependable, race-capable wheelset. Maxxis Rambler tyres at 700x45c balance grip and rolling speed on mixed gravel, and SRAM Paceline 160mm rotors handle stopping duty reliably in wet or dry conditions. It’s offered in S through XXL sizing, and going fully wireless across both derailleurs removes cable routing and maintenance from the equation entirely.<\/p>\n This build sits in SRAM’s Rival AXS tier, configured here as a 2x setup rather than the single-chainring version found elsewhere in the Stigmata range. A double-chainring crank paired with a front and rear derailleur gives tighter, more evenly spaced gear steps than a wide-range 1x cassette can provide, which suits a rider who wants finer cadence control across varied terrain rather than maximum climbing range from a single ring.<\/p>\n Like the other rigid Stigmata builds, this frame runs a CC Carbon fork with no suspension travel, keeping the setup light and focused on efficient rolling speed rather than rough-terrain absorption.<\/p>\n Wireless 2x SRAM Rival AXS drivetrain<\/strong> Exact chainring sizing for this crank wasn’t confirmed in the original spec sheet and should be checked against current stock before this page goes live.<\/em><\/p>\n Wide-range cassette<\/strong> Rigid Carbon fork<\/strong> Race-ready wheelset<\/strong> Wide, grippy tyres<\/strong> Consistent braking<\/strong> The crankset in the original spec sheet was listed under a single-ring part number, which conflicts with this build’s front derailleur. This page reflects a double-chainring crank as confirmed, though exact chainring tooth counts should be verified against current stock before publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n 1) Gravel racing and fast group rides where precise 2x gearing matters<\/p>\n 2) Long-distance mixed-terrain riding with wide 45c tyres for comfort<\/p>\n 3) Riders wanting wireless AXS shifting without stepping up to Force or Red-tier components<\/p>\n 4) Riders who prefer tighter gear steps over the widest possible 1x range<\/p>\n 5) Self-supported gravel touring, aided by dependable, race-ready wheels<\/p>\n A 2x drivetrain still has a place in gravel riding when precise gear steps matter more than maximum range from a single ring. This build brings that logic to a fully wireless SRAM Rival AXS setup, with both derailleurs shifting without a single cable to maintain. Paired with the same Carbon CC frame quality found across the Stigmata line, wide 45c tyres, and a dependable Easton and DT Swiss wheelset, it’s a genuinely capable option for a rider who wants tight, wireless-precise shifting without paying for a top-tier groupset.<\/p>\n Santa Cruz builds the Stigmata’s Carbon CC frame to the same engineering standards applied across every build kit in the range, so this Rival 2x build shares its core frame quality with the higher-tier Force and RF-1x models.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Shipping timelines and export documentation vary by destination and order volume.

Features and Benefits of Santa Cruz Stigmata Rival 2x<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nA SRAM Rival XPLR AXS rear derailleur pairs with a SRAM Rival AXS Wide front derailleur across a double-chainring Rival Wide crank, giving genuinely wireless shifting front and rear. Running two chainrings means tighter, more evenly spaced gear steps compared to a 1x setup, useful for a rider who wants to hold a specific cadence across mixed terrain.<\/p>\n
\nA 10-36T XG-1250 cassette, paired with the double-chainring crank, still covers a wide gear spread while keeping the steps between gears tighter than a single-ring 1x setup would allow.<\/p>\n
\nA CC Carbon fork with a 12x100mm thru-axle keeps the front end light and efficient, matching the rigid frame’s focus on speed over rough-terrain absorption.<\/p>\n
\nEaston ARC Offset 25 rims on DT Swiss 370 hubs (Centerlock, 28h) give a dependable, moderately wide rim profile suited to both racing and long-distance gravel riding.<\/p>\n
\nMaxxis Rambler tyres<\/a> at 700x45c, Dual Compound with EXO protection and Tubeless Ready, balance rolling speed on hardpack with real grip and puncture resistance on rougher gravel.<\/p>\n
\nSRAM Rival AXS<\/a> hydraulic disc brakes with SRAM Paceline 160mm Centerlock rotors give reliable, fade-resistant stopping power for long descents or wet riding conditions.<\/p>\nTechnical Specifications<\/h3>\n
