Santa Cruz Heckler SL CC XX AXS Reserve E-Mountain Bike 2024

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

Fine-tune your ride and queue up the playlist. Like the words to your favorite song, Lyrik is ready to rock wherever you ride, from familiar home trails to alpine explorations. Built on a deep foundation of adventure, Lyrik is the most versatile fork in RockShox lineup. With the perfect range of travel fro an all-mountain workhorse, Lyrik priotiized weight while maintaining that all-critical stiffness and prowess on the descents. Time to press play.

In it to win it? Super Deluxe Ultimate is the smart bet for the podium. Packed to the hilt with fine-tuning adjustments that meaningfully improve suspension performance, it’s the most advanced shock RocShox have ever made. Pioneering one of the most impactful innovations in damper history, the new RC2T damper allows for 100% independent High Speed and Low Speed Compression adjustments, rounding out an arsenal of elite technology.

Shock Adjustments - Separate and Independent Open and Threshold Pistons / Low Speed Compression Adjustment / Rebound Adjustment / Air Spring Pressure

The lightweight 60Nm Fazua Ride60 drive unit weighs 4.3lb/1.96kg. The minimal drag and power to weight ratio provide the magic when not riding with power. As you begin to ride beyond the speed cutoff you're not penalized when continuing to push beyond the assistance like that of traditional eMTBs. The 430Wh battery, 60Nm torque, 250Wh continuous power, 450Wh peak power, and overall bike weight work harmoniously together. This all equates to an experience that exceeds what you might expect from its numbers.

The Fazua Energy 430Wh battery is powerful, compact, and lightweight, delivering 430Wh of power and integrating seamlessly into the frame.

The AXS Pod Ultimate is SRAM's most premium pod shifter. AXS Pod Ultimate is lighter weight than Eagle Ecosystem AXS Controllers, features a completely new shape, ergonomics, and a vastly superior range of adjustability. 

Engineered as integrated, interdependent transmission components, the T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface. Its game-changing Full Mount attachment method creates a far stronger connection and grips both sides of the frame. The new Transmission derailleurs feature the same intuitive pairing and set-up procedure as our Eagle AXS derailleurs. A tucked-in profile houses replaceable skid plates that enhances dependability in high-pressure racing environments. The XX Eagle Transmission derailleur features an overload clutch, accommodating common maintenance and features that real world riders really appreciate. 

Cold Forged Alloy arm sets for many e-Bike motors.

The XX Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Cassette is a major reason why Eagle Transmission offers the best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load. Thanks to its full X-Sync design, the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Literally. Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the XX Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. From its massive 520% gear range, the 52 tooth cog steps down with improved gear progression with 44 and 38 tooth cogs in the low end (compared to the Eagle drivetrain 10-52-tooth cassette). It lasts far longer and delivers more precision with the use of less extreme chain angles throughout the entire range. Featuring a clearly marked Setup Cog, install is both simple and fool-proof. Utilizes hardened tool steel machined X-Dome design for the cluster and stamped steel 38T and 44Tcogs are pinned to the lighter weight aluminum 12th gear (Spider Cog).

FEATURES

• Full X-SYNC for best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load
• Optimized gear steps on low end
• 55mm chainline compatibility for more moderate chain angle, longer wear and greater precision
• Setup Cog for fool-proof set up
• Utilizes well accepted and broadly available XD driverbody
• Features X-DOME with a lighter aluminum 1st gear

The first thing to know about the XX Eagle Transmission chain is that it’s the strongest SRAM has ever made. Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, this all-new T-Type design features a unique flat top. Not only does this shape maximize shifting performance, but it also contemporizes the look of your super bike. The chain features a hollow pin design and is finished in a long-wearing, high durability chrome.

FEATURES

• Strongest SRAM chain ever. Specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission.
• Flattop profile, smooth-shift bottom profile. Ultimate shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics.
• Longer-wearing, Hard Chrome finish and hollow pins.

For the first time ever, SRAM's legendary Code brake now wears the Ultimate crown. The full-powered stopper features a new technology to improve your cockpit aesthetic: Stealth. The all-new lever body design brings the hose closer to the bar, allowing for a sleeker, more modern ride. The proven internals remain the same, with SwingLink driving SRAM's signature feel. And for unrivaled ease of customization, Code Ultimate features tool-free Reach and Contact Point Adjust. To top it all off, a carbon blade joins SRAM's Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, so feel will remain smooth. Our best just got better.

RockShox' intention with Reverb™ AXS® was inventive and pure. No hoses. No routing. No energy wasted. Not a single thing in the way of the experience. They created a reliable wireless-electronic dropper post and controller that actuates with drastically less effort and zero distraction. Expanding what's possible on a bike, Reverb AXS is enabled by SRAM AXS™ technology, a new level of interaction, personalization, and connectivity across all AXS enabled components.

Features:

• Effortless Electronic-Wireless actuation and infinite height adjustment with a single touch.
• Clean, simple and fast to install. No hoses to route, no fishing required.
• Updated internals for faster return speed in all conditions.
• New Vent Valve Technology, a simple and reliable built in service solution without disassembly of the seatpost.
• SRAM AXS technology, a new level of interaction, personalization, and connectivity across all AXS enabled components.
• Includes RockShox AXS handlebar controller, rechargeable SRAM battery and charger.
• System is completely waterproof to IPX7 rating.

With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking.​

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.
• Wide Trail (WT): Optimizes the tire's tread layout and profile for today's modern, wider rims.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.

• 3C MaxxTerra: A triple compound ideal for trail riding in all conditions - offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip.
• EXO+: Durable 60 TPI casing, legendary EXO puncture protection in the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the bead to protect from pinch flats and help prevent rim damage.
