2024 Santa Cruz Heckler SL C GX AXS

The Santa Cruz Heckler SL GX AXS T-Type gives you the handling of a trail bike with the range and boost of a lightweight e-MTB. It runs a mixed-wheel setup, modern geometry, and a full suite of high-end components built for serious riding—no fluff, just function.

You get a C carbon frame that keeps weight low and strength high. Santa Cruz designed it for fast corners, steep descents, and big climbs.

The Fazua Ride60 motor gives you an extra kick when the trail turns up, and the 430Wh battery keeps you moving longer. Power delivery feels natural—smooth on the flats, punchy on climbs. And because it’s all integrated into the frame, the Heckler SL still looks and rides like a classic all-mountain bike.

SRAM’s GX AXS Transmission delivers fast, wireless shifting that you can trust under load. Hit the button, and the derailleur moves with precision—no cables, no lag. If you ever need to replace the hanger, the SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) makes it quick and easy.

You’ll control your speed with SRAM Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes and 200mm HS2 rotors. This setup gives you the stopping power and modulation you need when you're flying into tech sections or managing speed on a steep chute.

Up front, the RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork gives you 160mm of trail-ready travel. Out back, the RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock (210x55mm) balances plushness and support. Santa Cruz’s VPP suspension layout ties it all together with excellent traction and efficient pedaling—especially when the trail gets rough or rowdy.

Need to change your body position mid-trail? The OneUp V2 dropper post moves quickly and smoothly, so you’re always in control. And the Cane Creek 40 headset keeps your steering dialed in tight corners and fast descents.

Reserve 30|SL AL 6069 wheels (29” front, 27.5” rear) strike a great balance between rollover and maneuverability. Built with DT Swiss 370 hubs and 30mm internal width rims, they hold a strong profile and stand up to trail abuse without flinching.

Maxxis tires round out the build: a 29x2.5” Minion DHF with 3C MaxxGrip and EXO up front, and a 27.5x2.4” Minion DHR II with 3C MaxxTerra and EXO+ in the rear. You’ll get dependable grip, cornering bite, and enough durability to stay off the repair stand longer.

Ride the Heckler SL GX AXS T-Type if you want a bike that covers ground quickly, handles like your favorite trail rig, and gives you a boost when your legs need it most. It’s ready to go fast, go deep, and get rowdy—whenever you are.
