Heckler C S E-Bike

E-Bikes may get some hate, but there is no denying the benefits they bring to the mountain biking world. We love the Santa Cruz Heckler because it allows us to ride further and faster, expend less energy, and have more fun. The Heckler is a mid-travel e-Bike with slack and aggressive geometry, 29-inch wheels, and 150mm of VPP suspension. The Heckler recently saw some geometry improvements, making the chainstays longer, the head tube slacker, and the reach longer, all aiding in downhill and uphill performance. With a slack 64.8-degree head tube angle and a 76.7-degree seat tube angle in the high setting, the Heckler allows us to shred the downhills while keeping us in an efficient position when climbing. The Shimano EP8 motor has more power and is lighter than previous versions. Eco, Trail, and boost modes allow us to use the optimal power for our terrain. A bigger 730Wh battery means we can extend our ride to the next peak without worrying about losing power or getting tired, and the battery is interchangeable, so we can take it out and plug in a fresh one.

The S build of the Santa Cruz Heckler offers quality components that get the job done and won't break the bank. This model of the Heckler is equipped with Santa Cruz's Carbon C frame for a lightweight and stiff frame. SRAM's GX Eagle drivetrain provides us with a 12-speed drivetrain that has a huge gear range and a proven reputation. Next, RaceFace ARC HD 30 aluminum rims and E13 SL hubs combine to make a top-quality e-Bike wheelset that is durable, stiff, and lightweight. Maxxis tires provide reliable grip on the descents, and the rear DHRII tire features a Double Down casing for extra flat protection. The Fox Float 36 Performance, 160mm fork, and RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock bring us quality suspension performance, allowing us to confidently descend the rowdiest trails.

*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.
