2022 Santa Cruz Heckler 9
Ride on and on and on.
This Heckler can go further, higher and faster. It's more fun, too. The bigger battery means longer trails. So a bigger horizon for adventure. You have mixed or dual 29" wheels. The 29" version is calm and efficient across all terrain. While the MX has traction and quicker steering. Whatever your riding style is, your needs will be met.
What really sets this apart from other ebikes is the on-trail matters. It's tough enough for anything, so you just have to worry about not getting lost. The geo makes every trail or path more fun. Finally, the VPP suspension and 150mm rear travel really hit the sweet spot. You get the best performing full-suspension bike imaginable.
