Santa Cruz Heckler 9 Features

Longer range

The new Heckler sports a larger 720w battery that lasts longer and is easily removable with a 4mm hex key.

More aggressive

For 2022, the Heckler got a slightly longer reach (475mm, L) and steeper head tube (64.8-64.5°) so you can descend more confidently.

29, MX, or 27.5 wheels

Sizes M - XXL are available in either 29er or mixed wheel builds. Size S is full 27.5 inch wheels for a better rider fit.

Best eMTB motor

The Shimano EP8 motor is the best in the business. It's lighter, more powerful, and more efficient than anything else out there. 

Coil + bottle compatibility

There's enough frame space for a large body shock AND a full size water bottle, because details matter.

C and CC frame options

All Heckler models feature a Santa Cruz C carbon frame except the CC X01 AXS RSV build.
