Santa Cruz Heckler 9 Mix C S-Kit MX Gloss Avocado Green

On and on and on and on...

Danny MacAskill only talks about e-bikes. He just doesn't stop. Only when he gets on his bike does the enthusiasm fall silent. Then he cheers and exults. And he rides and rides and rides. That's why we built the Heckler the way it is. It rides further, faster, and longer, making it even more fun.

The latest generation of the Heckler features a replaceable battery with higher capacity (720 Wh instead of 504 Wh). This expands the possibilities and makes more and more remote trails accessible.

The riding characteristics on the trail distinguish all our bikes. We make no compromises with e-bikes either. We have designed the carbon layup and frame design to be particularly robust to absorb the high forces cleanly and guarantee long-lasting riding fun. At the same time, the bike is still competitively light. And sensibly and uncompromisingly well-equipped. So you should worry more about the encroaching darkness than about possible defects. The geometry has been refined over countless test rides and optimized for riding fun - uphill and downhill. Our legendary VPP rear suspension is tuned for e-bike use. Smaller anti-squat values than our classic trail bikes offer comfort and traction on technical climbs. 150mm of travel at the rear (and 160mm of travel at the front) is the ideal means for us for long days on the trails.

The new Heckler is available with both MX wheels and in a pure 29er setup. The wheel size is not the only choice. The bike is available in both wheel versions in sizes M - XXL. The frame size S comes as a pure 27.5" version. Additionally, you now have the choice between our two carbon qualities ("C Carbon" and "CC Carbon") through the equipment variants.

The only question we still ask ourselves is: How do we ever get Danny off his Heckler again?

Full carbon frame from C and CC Carbon

Our CC carbon frames use the best materials and latest manufacturing processes. Our C frames achieve the same stability and stiffness. They just trade a bit more weight for a slightly lower price. Both versions are manufactured in our own factory and come with our lifetime warranty.

Replaceable 720 Wh battery

The battery can be removed and replaced in a hex key turn. It can therefore be conveniently charged without the bike or replaced by a second battery on particularly long tours.

Shimano EP8 Motor

The new Shimano EP8 motor is light, strong, and efficient. It is the right choice even for long and heavy tours.

Steel spring and water

The frame fits large-volume dampers and always a water bottle.

Built for many biker lives

The legendary Santa Cruz craftsmanship and high-quality construction make this bike a class of its own. Our lifetime warranty and our Rider Support promise apply to the frame, the rear suspension bearings, and the optional RESERVE wheels.

Beautiful details

Details that complete the bike include the small shield for the damper, the clean and simple cable routing, and a rubberized down tube protector.

Geometry

The latest Heckler has a longer reach and a slacker head angle than its predecessors. The short 445mm rear triangle combines uphill traction and downhill performance.

The full range from S to XXL

The 29" and MX versions are available in sizes M - XXL. Frame size S comes with 27.5" wheels front and rear.
