Santa Cruz Heckler 29 C/GX AXS (2022)

Santa Cruz - Heckler 29 C/GX AXS

Danny MacAskill likes to talk about ebikes. And a lot. He just doesn't stop. Only when he gets on his bike does the gushing stop. Then he cheers and whoops. And he rides and rides and rides. That's why we built the Heckler the way it is. It goes further, faster and longer, making it even more fun.

The latest generation of the Heckler has a replaceable battery with a 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 here with the e-bikes either. We have made the carbon layup and the frame design particularly robust in order to absorb the high forces cleanly and to 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 nightfall than about possible defects. The geometry has been refined over countless test rides and - uphill and downhill - optimised for riding fun. Our legendary VPP rear triangle is tuned for e-bike use. Smaller anti-squat values than on our classic trail bikes offer comfort and traction on technical climbs. 150mm travel at the rear (and 160mm travel at the front) is what we consider the ideal tool for long days on the trails.

The new Heckler is available with MX wheels as well as 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. Frame size S comes as a pure 27.5" version.
The only question we still have is: How will we ever get Danny off his Heckler again?
