Description

If you have been waiting for that electric mountain bike that perfect hits the much coveted balance of powerful, efficient motor assistance while retaining the feel of your existing pedal bike, we highly recommend you take a good look at the Santa Cruz Heckler SL, because we think they nailed it!

Sitting proudly in the middle ground between traditional MTB and E-MTB, you can confidently cross over to electric mountain biking without fear of losing the nimble handling feel you need out on the trails. 

Here is a quick fire condensed run-down of the Heckler SL! - 160mm front and 150mm rear travel working in tandem with Santa Cruz's fantastic VPP linkage, modern geometry numbers (64 degree head angle, 478mm reach, long chain-stay), fast and playful mixed wheel sizing (29" front, 27.5" rear), Fazua Ride 60 drive system and 430wh battery.

At a svelte 18.5kg for an E-MTB the Heckler SL's similar effective range compares well to full-fat E-MTB's with bigger batteries, all thanks to the lower demands of the light weight. Even among rival lightweight electric mountain bikes, the Heckler SL comfortably wins the range battle. Fazua also have a range extender in the works that is due early 2024 and the Heckler SL is set-up and ready for this upgrade.

The Fazua motor has 3 ride modes - Breeze (Eco), River (full power if you pedal) and Rocket (full power all the time). Fazua motors have proven to be one of the favourites out there, praised for smooth power delivery and reliability, all backed with fantastic after purchase support.

The C spec Heckler SL is available in 3 great build kits - R, S and GX AXS.

Santa Cruz C Spec carbon frames are identical in geometry and design as the CC spec. The difference is the use of an alternative carbon lay-up, this means the C spec can be made available at a slightly lower price at the expense of a little extra weight. 

As with all Santa Cruz bikes, the Heckler SL is backed by one of the best lifetime warranties in the business and includes Santa Cruz's linkage bearing replacement policy (a free set of linkage bearings once per year).

    Couldn’t ask for much more from a bicycle

    I’ve had mine for about 2 months now, I have ridden it more in that time than on any other bike I’ve owned..

    Really opens up your local landscape, i regularly ride stuff that on a normal bike would never be as fulfilling (steep climbs, short intense runs down)..

    Managed 26 miles with 5000ft of elevation with full power riders running out of battery, heckler still had 20% left at the end of the ride… (granted I was in eco and putting a bit of effort in, which is exactly what I wanted this bike for!)

    Truly a sweet spot for me between a regular bike and full e bike, keeping some of the pedalling characteristics and a natural feel whilst still allowing you to go further and have more energy left for the fun part (downhill)…
