THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER AND THE PARTY NEVER ENDS

When the Stigmata was resurrected in 2015, we fused a number of MTB standards and design features to create our spin on the modern CX bike. Something must have clicked, because within months of launch it raced to victory at the legendary Three Peaks, and has continued to contend at elite cyclocross races around the world.

Nowadays, the internally routed disc brakes, generous tire clearance and thru-axles approach that made the Stigmata famous have become more of a norm, so we took a fresh look at which standards the riders of tomorrow wanted access to today.

Details like 12mm front axle, flat-mount brakes and build-specific Reserve wheel packages top the whole thing off. The new Stigmata is designed to let you decide whatever the heck you want this category to be.

KEY FEATURES

THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER

When it comes to good old fashioned off-road etiquette, the Stigmata's had some coaching at the Highball school of stiffness, handling, and offroad feel. Knowledge was borrowed from the new Highball and also from Danny MacAskill's trials bike.

Geometry plays a big part here too, so we've made tweaks to improve handling for smaller riders and to reduce toe overlap.

We took a fresh look at which standards the riders of tomorrow wanted access to today. Deeper adventure, bigger tires perhaps?

The frame now clears up to a 45mm 700c or a 2.1" 650b tire, there's a Force/X01 AXS mashup kit available, and fender mounts add a bit of CYA and highlight the Stigmata's ever-widening scope of purpose.
