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.
