Santa Cruz Heckler SL 1.1 C Stout E-Mountain Bike 2026

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.

The Fox 38 is the hard hitting, long-travel enduro specialist. When you need to go really big, reach for the 38. Optimized for 160 - 180mm of travel and packing the same revolutionary feature set as the Fox 36, the 38 redefines what you think a long travel single crown fork is capable of, and sets a new benchmark for confidence, performance and durability.

Performance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, features, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized stanchions instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

This fork features the GRIP X2 damper for maximum adjustability: high- and low-speed compression adjustment, plus high- and low-speed rebound adjustment.

Combining ultra-plush coil-like comfort and incredible damping prowess with the light weight of an air spring and an unmatched level of tunability, the Float X2 brings new levels of control and performance to every terrain imaginable.

Performance Elite shocks have all the same internals as Fox Factory models, just without the Kashima coating.

Shock Adjustments - Air Spring Pressure / High and Low Speed Compression / High and Low Speed Rebound / 2-Position Lockout Lever

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 480Wh battery is powerful, compact, and lightweight, delivering 480Wh of power and integrating seamlessly into the frame.

The feel, look and shift quality of the Eagle 90 Shifter 
allow you to ride in a whole new way. Optimized 
cable pull with a revised lever position for maximum 
control. With a new T-Type cable actuation ratio, 
Eagle 90 offers a higher quality of shift than any 
previous mechanical system. 
 

The Eagle 90 Transmission derailleur is the definitive 
answer to how good a cable actuated derailleur can 
be. It features an all-new T-Type cable actuation 
ratio to provide the most precise and crisp shifts 
every time. Utilizing the same Full Mount design 
as its electronic siblings, Eagle 90 is the strongest 
mechanical derailleur we have ever produced. Not 
only is it robust, but the derailleur body features 
replaceable outer and inner parallelogram links, 
skid plate, and a tool-free threaded cage assembly, 
making it the most rebuildable derailleur in the Eagle 
Transmission Ecosystem.

The new crank on the XC and trail riding scene is back with a new sleek two-tone color scheme and a 165 mm length. Aggressively attack any loamy surface with full confidence and without putting too big of a hurt on your fun funds.

The new 10-52 Eagle cassette 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.

FEATURES

• 520-percent gear range utilizing the industry standard XD hub driver.
• Light and strong FULL PIN technology similar to X-DOME bringing true 1x gear range to more riders and builds.
• Lunar and black colorway makes the XG-1275 cassette right at home on any build.

The GX Eagle Transmission (T-Type) chain is the strongest SRAM has ever made. Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, this all-new T-Type design features a unique flat top. In addition to this shape maximizing shifting performance and upgrading the aesthetics of any bike, it is developed specifically for the added torque loads of E-MTB thanks to its solid pins that give it incredible strength.

SRAM Maven Bronze features monstrous 18 and 19.5mm pistons driving 50% more power than Code. But best-in-class power means nothing unless you’re able to harness it. The Maven Bronze lever body houses Swinglink, which translates rider input for progressive power throughout the lever pull, maintaining SRAM’s signature ride feel. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. Maven Bronze features a Dark Polar Anodized finish, and tool-free Reach Adjust.

Known for its no-nonsense smooth cable actuation, short overall length, and easy serviceability, the OneUp Dropper is a solid choice for dependable and customizable performance.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.

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.
• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.
