Engineered to defy the limitations of the all-mountain category, the Heckler 29 e-Bike lets us tackle endless miles of trail, from rolling single track to narrow rock corridors. Now available with two 29inch wheels, this updated version of the Heckler is prepared for backcountry trails where the rollover-ability of the big hoops is a huge benefit to carrying momentum over the most technical terrain. 150mm of forgiving VPP travel complements the traction produced by the big wheels, yet retains the poppy and playful qualities of a true all-mountain steed. The Heckler V9 expands our trail maps thanks to a larger 720 Watt-hour battery that adds significant range over the previous model. The frame sees the addition of a flip-chip that can adjust geometry and shock rate to suit any terrain, and it's now compatible with coil shocks for riders wanting to add the plush consistency of a coil.

Lucky for all of us, one thing that hasn't changed is Santa Cruz's carbon frames, which is a good thing if you're after the legendary strength and unwavering stiffness of their renowned carbon layups. This particular Heckler benefits from the Carbon C layup, which uses a bit more material than CC frames but still accelerates quickly and offers unflappable poise when pummeling through rough terrain. It's backed by Santa Cruz's excellent lifetime warranty, so you'll have extra peace of mind while riding particularly fast on your favorite stretch of trail and shuttling downhill laps on the mountain pass. Geometry-wise the Heckler is positioned as an aggressive trail and enduro bike, with generous reach and wheelbase figures to keep us stable at speed, and a slack 64. 5-degree head tube for confidence when we drop into steep terrain. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pande...
