2026 Santa Cruz Skitch CC Apex Flat Bar (Blemish | SCB251218)

This 2026 Santa Cruz Skitch CC Apex Flat Bar in Matte Iron Ore is a brand new electric gravel bike with very minor cosmetic damage. Because of that small blemish, Airpark Bike Co can offer it at a big discount while still giving the next rider the performance, speed, and versatility that make the Skitch such a standout. It includes the standard lifetime frame warranty from Santa Cruz Bicycles, so this is still a new Santa Cruz with long-term frame support and serious everyday value.Condition Notes: Flaking paint around motor mount bolt behind chainring.The Skitch is built for riders who want one fast, lightweight, assisted bike that can cut through town, roll across rough roads, and turn everyday miles into something more exciting. Its Carbon CC gravel frame and carbon fork keep the ride quick and responsive, while the FAZUA Ride 60 drive unit adds smooth pedal support without making the bike feel bulky or overbuilt. The integrated 430Wh battery keeps the frame clean and helps the bike maintain a sleek, natural ride feel. It is the kind of e-bike that feels fun before you even think about the motor, then becomes even more useful once the assist kicks in.This Apex Flat Bar build gives the Skitch a confident and practical cockpit. The RaceFace Ride flat handlebar provides an upright, controlled position that works well for commuting, fitness rides, bike paths, and quick mixed-surface adventures. Compared with a drop-bar gravel bike, the flat bar makes the bike feel familiar and easy to manage in traffic, tight corners, and unpredictable surfaces. It is quick enough for longer rides, but simple enough to grab for errands, work commutes, or a fast spin before the day starts.The SRAM Apex Eagle 12-speed drivetrain gives this bike a wide 10-50T gear range, making it easier to spin comfortably on climbs, cruise efficiently on flat roads, and keep moving when the surface gets rough. SRAM S300 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors deliver dependable stopping power, while the WTB ASYM i25 700c rims and Schwalbe G-One Overland Pro EVO 700x50c tires give the bike a great balance of speed, volume, and grip. That tire setup helps smooth out broken pavement and hardpack dirt without taking away the lively feel that makes the Skitch so fun.For a rider who wants a premium Santa Cruz e-gravel bike at a reduced price, this blemished Skitch is a strong opportunity. The paint issue is localized near the motor mount bolt behind the chainring, and the discount is substantial. The result is a new, warranty-backed Santa Cruz that is ready for commutes, quick escapes, gravel paths, neighborhood loops, and longer days where a little extra assist makes the ride more enjoyable.
