Santa Cruz Heckler SL review after 1 month of riding

When they first launched the Heckler SL earlier this year it appeared like Santa Cruz had knocked it right out of the park. But now we've spent a month test riding the bike how have we been finding it?

I love mine. Threw on a factory 38 and DHX2 and the thing is a beast. The coil does wonders on this bike...

This is great to hear, because I just ordered a GX spec XXL 2 weeks ago - my first E-bike! I finally brought my 62 year old self to demo an Orbea Rise (2021) a few weeks prior, and was blown away. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit, especially as a seasoned MTB’r, that I completely misunderstood how the newest breed of E-bikes work - the first thing I asked was “where’s the throttle”? I’ve now got a whole new stoke for mountain biking....can’t wait!

Fab review guys! Got my X0 spec coming in a couple of weeks can’t wait!

My FAZUA motor was replaced under warranty after 5 rides due to a torque sensor failure… not too happy but SC was fast to get me sorted. Worried about durability in the future.

Ordered GX AXS Silver L at 31.9.2023. I am still waiting for retrieval........

Great bike, going full fat for my weight and range and you don’t notice the weight! If I was only doing a short 90min 900m ride it would be my weapon of choice.

Where is the fox factory fork all the promo videos show?

[@roddas26]

"I haven't been riding it, but what a bike" 😂
Are you for real?

[@liron000]

Where are the riding videos from? Where is this mtb spot? 🙏

[@revolutionmountainbike]

Across the foothills of the Blue Mountains located west of Sydney, Australia.

[@BankBoy21]

Nobody Pedals this fat Thing without the Motor. That is just marketing

[@tomnutting3836]

Weighs 18.5kg
I ride my enduro bike (18kg and I’m 105kg) for 40-50km trail rides
Why wouldn’t anyone pedal it with the motor off? Weak attitude

[@BankBoy21]

If you weight 105kg you have a have attitude@@tomnutting3836

[@somethingelsehere8089]

I have done when riding with friends that don't have an e-bike.

[@JJ_MTB_15]

Biggest issue with these is the components for the money, awful value.
