Product Info

"Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler 9 CC X01 AXS Reserve E-Mountain Bike". Like the routes you'll soon roast, this bike's name looks a bit daunting, if not impossible, at first. There's a lot of crooked letters in there. But it won't take long until you realize this is the new normal: ridiculous capability, unheard-of lap counts squeezed into shorter and shorter windows, and clunky names. The calculus you're used to - meters climbed converted into ice cream earned, saddle time vs fun units, and the like - have been immediately abandoned. This bike shoves flat-brimmed ballcap moto vibes into spandex dinner party convos (how rude!), and the result is pure bliss: it's just you and the trails. All the trails. Any time, all the time. Time is a construct. Riding is real.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon CC FrameSanta Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate the shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.

Lower Link Mounted VPP SuspensionVPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Rear ShockSuper Deluxe Ultimate is built for the latest breed of hard hitting enduro and trail bikes. Offering the ride control you need paired with a user-friendly threshold adjustment all rolled into a great high performance-to-value package. Maxima Plush fluid reduces friction and silences noise.

Drivetrain

SRAM X01 Eagle AXS™X01 Eagle AXS utilizes the proven backbone of SRAM 1x. 520-percent gear range. More secure and longer wearing X-Sync 2 chainring. The resilience of an aluminum cage, paired with the connected components of Eagle AXS. Ready for the new gen of super bikes.

Brakes

SRAM Code RSCWith large pistons, bigger fluid reservoirs, and intuitive design, the Code RSC is powerful and adjustable. They have high levels of modulation, too, so you can control all that power with a single finger.

SRAM HS2 RotorsThicker, more powerful, and more resistant to fade: at 2mm thick, these are only slightly beefier than you're used to, but that makes all the difference.

Wheel Set

Maxxis Assegai Front TireWith tall knobs that punch through dust and loam to find traction, this tire offers support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.

Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear TireA real rider's tire choice, these Minions bring a mix of rolling resistance, wear, and performance that can't be beat.

Mixed Wheel SizesWith a 29er up front and a 27.5" wheel out back, this bike has the ability to roll over bigger holes at speed without sacrificing agility. Note: size small has 27.5" wheels front and rear.

Reserve Carbon 30 / DH Rims with Industry 9 1/1 HubsThe EWS is strict—break certain parts and you DNF. The rule’s meant to encourage sensible management of equipment, but it’s also tipped the balance in favor of toughness and reliability. Enter the Reserve 30. Its 30mm internal width supports a 2.3-2.5” tire and the thick rim beads stand up to the abuse of tough, rocky, steep tracks ridden at elite speed. And that's just the front! Out back, this bike has a Reserve Carbon DH rim, built for even more abuse. Industry 9 1/1 hubs are known for their durability and design.

Additional Features

Fox Transfer Performance Elite Dropper PostThe proven Transfer seatpost gets lighter and tighter. Completely redesigned from the ground up, with improved serviceability, decreased weight, reduced length, and decreased insertion depth.
