Product Info
"Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler 9 CC X01 AXS Reserve E-Mountain Bike". Like the routes you'll soon roast, this bike's name looks a bit daunting, if not impossible, at first. There's a lot of crooked letters in there. But it won't take long until you realize this is the new normal: ridiculous capability, unheard-of lap counts squeezed into shorter and shorter windows, and clunky names. The calculus you're used to - meters climbed converted into ice cream earned, saddle time vs fun units, and the like - have been immediately abandoned. This bike shoves flat-brimmed ballcap moto vibes into spandex dinner party convos (how rude!), and the result is pure bliss: it's just you and the trails. All the trails. Any time, all the time. Time is a construct. Riding is real.
Product Details
Key Features
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 the 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 – Size M-XXL: 29", Size S: 27.5"
Shimano EP8 Drive Unit – Lighter, more powerful, and quieter? The latest motor from Shimano is an engineering marvel and a work of art. This unit is also more efficient, more customizable, and smoother. Extremely durable to boot, this is a drive unit that'll be with you for a long time.
Shimano 720Wh Integrated Battery – Shimano's largest capacity battery gives you more range and saddle time than ever before. It's easily removable, making battery swaps and cable access a breeze, and is designed to go through hundreds of cycles without degradation.
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.

Trail, Enduro
More
Used For
Trail Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike. Enduro If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Frame Material
Carbon Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

Rear Derailleur
SRAM X01 Eagle AXS, 12-Speed AXS powered components enable customization and scale to an individual rider’s liking via the AXS App. It features a shorter cage for 10mm more ground clearance, with more chain wrap on the cassette to sit slightly further forward, and further inboard from mechanical Eagle. The Eagle AXS derailleur is smart enough to protect itself thanks to its incredibly resilient Overload Clutch. In the event of an impact, the motor gearbox disengages, giving the derailleur freedom to move, and instantly returns back to its position for a seamless experience for the rider. -

Chain:
SRAM X01 Eagle, 12-Speed
More
Chain
SRAM X01 Eagle, 12-Speed It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. Hard Chrome technology extends the chain's optimal performance life.
FEATURES- Groundbreaking chain design and technology
- The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology.
- Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity
- The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world
- Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings
