Stigmata
GO FAST. GO LIGHT. GO FURTHER.
The Stigmata blurs the lines between a free-roading drop bar singletrack slicer and a buckled-down, race-winning gravel machine. It’s designed for riders lining up for The Big Event, escaping on the road less traveled, or who can’t resist finding the hardest way there. Whether your style is baggy or zipped up, the Stigmata is the fast and loose riding partner that’s always ready to rise to the occasion.
WINGMAN
GRAVITATING TO GRAVEL
The Stigmata is an off-road speed bike (think swift, not Zwift). Its singletrack prowess stems from progressive geometry, plenty of room for big tires, and insights from our mountain bikes. It’s the roadie’s off-roader, perfect for exploring wild routes, and also ideal for mountain bikers seeking adventure off the beaten path.
GO FAR TO GET FOUND
If wanderlust has taken hold, grab a Stigmata. Whether you're close to home or exploring far-off lands, its design and features ensure you can go the distance. Whether you’re seeking the spirit of gravel or planning a quick overnight mission with only a credit card, the Stigmata is your ultimate getaway vehicle.
LIGHT, FAST, AND MORE METTLE
When lining up at a gravel race, you need a bike that lifts you. It should have geometry that’s fast in the pack yet stable when you're deep in the hurt locker. A lightweight frame ensures you’re making watts, not carrying extra grams, and ample tire clearance prevents you from hauling an extra 10 lbs of Kansas clay.

Sizing & Geometry
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
