Santa Cruz Heckler SL 1 CS MX Matte Dark Blue 2025

The Santa Cruz Heckler SL is a sophisticated e-bike that is lightweight, powerful, and offers an amazing range. It combines all the trail characteristics of a Santa Cruz with the Fazua Ride 60 drive system. The legendary VPP™ rear suspension with 150 mm of travel, MX wheels, and progressive geometry make the Heckler SL a trail bike with natural handling and the extra boost of e-bike power.

The Santa Cruz Heckler SL C with S-Kit offers the best value for the price. It features higher-quality wheels, headset, seatpost, and suspension with more adjustability.

• equipment
  • mechanical SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain
  • high-performance Maven brakes

  • Fazua Ride 60: The robust, lightweight and elegant carbon frame houses the 430 Wh battery and the quiet, friction-free Fazua Ride 60 motor.
  • Amazing range: The powerful and efficient Fazua drive with the 430 Wh battery offers the range you would expect from full-power e-bikes.
  • MX (Mixed Wheels) – the best of both worlds: Mixed wheels (also known as "mullet") combine a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel. The leading 29-inch wheel creates a large contact patch, generating plenty of traction and improving rollover performance. Meanwhile, the smaller diameter rear wheel offers more clearance (significant for riders with shorter limbs) and allows for more agile handling. The result is a bike that still feels like a 29er but is lighter and more efficient on the trail.
• Area of ​​application
  • Trail & All Mountain: Whether alpine tours, riding fun on the home trails or bike park visits – they are the kings of versatility.
  • E-bike (pedelec): Bicycles that have a built-in electric motor for assistance; by law, this is only permitted as additional support while pedaling and only up to a speed of 25 km/h.
• Size recommendation
  • Choosing the right frame size: If you're between two frame sizes, we recommend testing both options. As a guide, you can compare the reach and stack measurements with your current bike or other bikes you're familiar with and feel comfortable on.
  • Personal preferences: A larger frame offers more stability and control. You also gain more freedom of movement on the bike, though with less impact on balance. A larger frame also has a slightly longer wheelbase, which provides additional safety and stability. Therefore, it requires more body input and a more active riding style to control the bike. Smaller bikes are more agile and respond more quickly to rider input. Consider what suits your riding style best. Do you want a bike that's agile and active? Or more stable and composed? Do you want to put in more or less effort to move the bike around the trail?
  • Body proportions: Even people of the same height look different. If you have a relatively short torso and long legs, we would recommend the smaller frame size. If you have a long torso and long arms, you should opt for the larger frame.
