Heckler SL | The Rundown ft. Garen Becker | 18.06.24

A sneaky ebike that's lightweight, powerful and has surprising range. All the on-trail traits of a Santa Cruz combined with the FAZUA RIDE 60 drive unit. 150mm of legendary VPP™ suspension, mixed wheels, and progressive geometry makes the Heckler SL a natural handling trail bike. Just with the added power of an ebike. Check out the video below giving you the highlights of the Santa Cruz Heckler SL, presented by your ol’ pal from Factory Friday, Garen Becker.

The Heckler SL often gets referred to as an ebike that doesn’t feel like an ebike. In a good way. It’s a natural handling trail bike, with a stealthy look and clean lines that are unmistakably Santa Cruz. Riding the SL is surprisingly similar to riding its non-powered counterpart - the Bronson, which makes perfect sense as there is a big chunk of Bronson in the Heckler SL’s DNA - Same 150mm VPP rear wheel travel, same 160mm fork spec, same MX wheel platform, and extremely similar handling characteristics!
