The Santa Cruz Heckler SL is a lightweight mid-power e-MTB, designed for riders who want the natural feel of a traditional mountain bike with the added boost of pedal-assist power. Featuring the Fazua drive system, the Heckler SL delivers 60Nm of torque with whisper-quiet efficiency, while its 430Wh battery provides ample power for long, fast-paced trail rides. With a sleek, minimalist design, it closely resembles the rider-favorite Bronson, making it one of the most discreet e-MTBs on the market.
Equipped with 160mm of front travel and 150mm of rear travel, the Heckler SL mirrors the full-power Heckler, providing the capability to tackle big hits, rock gardens, and steep descents. Its MX wheel configuration (29" front, 27.5" rear) balances stability and agility, allowing for confident handling on technical terrain while maintaining a playful, responsive ride.
The Heckler SL is available in Santa Cruz’s C and CC carbon frame options—with CC offering a lighter, more refined carbon layup for enhanced strength-to-weight performance. Riders can choose from a variety of build kits, ranging from the entry-level R to the top-tier XX AXS Reserve, ensuring high-end components and customization options for every rider. Plus, every Heckler SL comes with Santa Cruz’s lifetime frame warranty for long-term confidence.
