Santa Cruz Heckler SL C S 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.

Faster. Stronger. Ruthlessly efficient. The new Lyrik is the most versatile fork in our lineup, built on a deep foundation of adventure. With an up-for-anything, down-for-it-all attitude, Lyrik Select+ features a new lightweight 35mm chassis with all-new Charger 3 RC damper, and the confidence-inspiring new DebonAir+ air spring. Let the new Lyrik sing.

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.

With intuitive thumb actuated triggers, the GX Eagle shifter's positive feel gives the rider input to make shifts crisp and discernible every time. Its legendary reliability continues for all-day epics and all-time experiences, with an aluminum trigger ready for inevitable punishment and MatchMaker X compatibility.

The GX Eagle derailleur gets it done with an updated cage architecture that improves chain management. Refined to work with the new 10-52t cassettes, it’s also backwards compatible for the 10-50t versions.

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

The new GX Eagle cassette is for riders who prioritize all day function over anything else. With an expanded, 520-percent gear range giving riders more ability to spin and recover on the burliest climbs. Featuring FULL PIN technology that uses lightweight, precision engineered steel cogs permanently connected with high-strength stainless steel pins. An open design similar to our X-DOME cassette that aids in mud clearance, giving riders crisp shifting performance and longer component life.

The GX Eagle chain is designed with SRAM's Eagle geometry, the GX Eagle chain features solid pin construction, Eagle PowerLock and smooth, efficient shifting that you can count on every time out.

FEATURES

• All-new Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity.
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.

For superior braking power, SRAM built Code R with a DirectLink lever mated to an oversized four-piston caliper. Finger ergonomics adapt with a tool-free reach adjust - offering a perfect balance of all forces: reliable, practical and - naturally - powerful.

The OneUp V2 Dropper has the most drop, shortest stack height and shortest total length of any other post on the market. No other dropper can get your saddle lower. Smooth, reliable and a great value. There’s more than one reason testers, reviewers, racers and riders consistently rate our Dropper Post “#1”, “5-Stars” and “10/10.”

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.
