Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesThe Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler MX CC S E-Mountain Bike improves upon its first incarnation with a new drive unit and a mixed wheel size configuration. Even more efficient than its predecessor, this is the ultimate trail bike. It's got enough power and battery capacity to extend your rides, but is nimble enough to stay on the same lines as your pure pedal bike. This E-bike hits all the sweet spots when it comes to travel, weight, and geometry.
Carbon CC Frame – Santa 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 Suspension – VPP 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.
Fox Float Performance Elite DPS Rear Shock – The Float DPS’ lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch help conserve energy for when you need it most.
