Gather round, ye e-bike skeptics, for the Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler SL CC XX AXS Reserve E-Mountain Bike is here. This carbon CC wonder packs a punch with its shockingly light build, classic Santa Cruz VPP suspension, mixed wheel size, and mid-power compact drive unit that shaves grams without sacrificing the power you need to get up the mountain before dark. Even the eeber haters won't be able to find fault with the Heckler's sleek (dare we say sneaky?) design and classic Santa Cruz attitude.
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.
Travel – 160mm Front / 150mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
Top Tube Integrated LED Display – Lights display battery charge and three ride modes.
Integrated Flip Chip for High/Low Setting Adjustment
