The Santa Cruz Stigmata Rival 1x AXS runs SRAM's Rival AXS shifting paired with a GX Eagle Transmission rear derailleur, bringing wireless shifting and a 10-52t cassette range to the Stigmata platform without a front derailleur to manage. Shifting under load, mid-climb or out of the saddle, stays clean because the derailleur mounts directly to the frame rather than hanging off a derailleur hanger that can flex or bend. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"My hand rests differently on these Rival AXS hoods, shorter reach than I'm used to, and my finger lands on the brake lever without stretching for it. That's the kind of difference I only notice on a long ride, when a half-centimeter either way becomes something my hand actually feels."Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
