"After a successful opening race at the Sea Otter Gravel Race this year, the Santa Cruz htSQD has been racing its custom-painted Stigmata gravel bikes all season. Now, Santa Cruz is making the Stigmata htSQD available to the public, with a limited run of 50 frames painted in the team's unique colors. So, whether you want to show your support or are just trying to look as fast as Keegan, Tobin, Alexis, and Ruth, now is your chance to own the same bike as the htSQD team. If you really want to go all-in, check out Velocio's htSQD apparel, too."
"The Stigmata has been a mainstay in the Santa Cruz lineup for as long as we can remember, and it has seen incremental updates to keep it at the pointy end of some of the world's biggest gravel races. It has proven itself time and time again under the htSQD, with major victories at races like Sea Otter, Unbound, Big Sugar, and more. With a lightweight carbon frame, "progressive gravel geometry", big tire clearance, and Glovebox in-frame storage, the Stigmata is a highly versatile, modern gravel bike."
"The Stigmata htSQD is being sold as a frame only with a color-matched carbon fork. Like the standard Stigmata frame, it comes in Santa Cruz's higher-end Carbon CC only. Beyond the limited edition paint job, it's exactly the same as the standard version, with clearance for tires up to 50 mm wide, compatibility with gravel suspension forks, and in-frame storage for tools, tubes, and snacks. The frame and fork weigh a claimed 4.12 lbs. (1.87 kg)."
Santa Cruz is offering a limited run of 50 Stigmata htSQD frames painted in the htSQD team colors, sold as frame-only packages with a color-matched carbon fork. The frames use the high-end Carbon CC layup and retain standard Stigmata features: clearance for up to 50 mm tires, compatibility with gravel suspension forks, and an in-frame Glovebox for storage. The claimed weight for the frame and fork is 4.12 lbs (1.87 kg). The frames retail for $2,799 USD ($3,499 CAD), come in sizes XS through XL, and are not available as complete builds.
