Even the jankiest bikeshare ebike is unbelievably fun to ride, so what happens when you set out to make a premium fun ebike? The Santa Cruz Skitch CC GX AXS 700C Complete eBike is at the top of the list for most fun per pound in the history of two-wheeled travel—whether commuting or exploring gravel roads. The CC carbon frame is lightweight, snappy, and stable. The Fazua Ride 60 system is also so efficient and frictionless that you can pedal this bike without even turning it on, but when you do? Even in the lowest assist mode you’ll be up to cruising speed in a jiffy. Class 3 power means it’ll thrust up to 28mph, which on a gravel road is enough to get anyone’s heart beating! With wireless shifting, bomber parts, and 430Wh of assistance on tap, you’re opening yourself up to a whole lot more fun with way fewer aches. Simply unreal.
Carbon CC Frame
–
Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.

The GX Eagle T-Type derailleur delivers everything a Transmission derailleur possibly can, and then some. It features a revised battery position and a reconfigured gearbox to better protect itself from impacts. To maintain crisp shifting and striking appearance throughout its entire lifespan, hard-chargers can replace both its protective skid plates and two-piece outer link, if needed, making this the most repairable derailleur we’ve ever made. It also features the first ever tool-free cage and clutch assembly – so it’s both removable and upgradable too. -
