Santa Cruz Bicycles

Heckler C GX Eagle Transmission E-Bike

From doing laps at our favorite downhill trails to going on all-day rides, the Santa Cruz Heckler is our go-to bike when we need a bike that can go the distance while also being super capable. With a slack 64.8-degree head tube angle, the Heckler allows us to confidently point our wheels downhill, maximizing our capability and giving us stability and confidence on the steepest of trails. When it is time to climb back up, a 76.7-degree seat tube gives us an efficient position to put power to the pedals. With dual 29-inch wheels, we have the ultimate rollover capabilities and can carry our speed through obstacles. A Shimano EP8 motor is more powerful and lighter than previous versions, helping to boost us up those technical climbs and making the overall bike weight lighter. An interchangeable 730Wh battery means we can take out the spent battery and plug in a fresh one without worrying about charging for tomorrow's ride. The Heckler has integrated chainstay and downtube protectors to protect from rock strikes and chain slaps, and a shock fender keeps our rear suspension clear from rear tire mud spray.

The GX Eagle Transmission AXS build of the Santa Cruz Heckler is equipped with quality components, an electronic drivetrain, and sports great value. Santa Cruz fitted this version of the Heckler with SRAM's GX Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain, providing us with the most precise and reliable electronic shifting on the market. Next, RaceFace ARC HD 30 rims paired with E13 SL hubs combine to make a top-quality wheelset that is durable, stiff, and lightweight. Maxxis Assegai and DHRII tires with front and rear-specific casings give us the traction we need when sending it downhill. A RockShox Zeb Select+, or a Fox 36 Performance Elite, 170mm fork handles the big hits and keeps us confident on the downhills, while the RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock keeps us in contact with the dirt and soaks up trail vibrations for a smooth ride.

*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
