Santa Cruz Heckler SL CC X0 AXS Reserve E-Mountain Bike 2025

Product Details

Key Features

Carbon CC Frame– Santa Cruz´s highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn´t merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz´s carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they´ve tested.

Travel– 160mm Front / 150mm Rear

Wheel Size– Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)

Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension– VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

Fazua Ride 60 Drive Unit– 60 Nm of torque but more compact and lighter weight than full-power systems.

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

Top Tube Integrated LED Display– Lights display battery charge and three ride modes.

Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. Beyond its unique and stunning Dark Polar finish and electroless nickel plating for incredible resistance to corrosion and wear, its full X-Sync design literally means the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Its strength is further proven by its full approval for E-MTB use. It’s been built for a 55mm chainline for even more durability and precision thanks to milder chain angles throughout the full range, low to high. 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). What else? It has a clearly marked Setup Cog, making install both simple and fool-proof.

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 Silver features a bold black anodized finish with stainless hardware. And for unrivaled ease of customization, features tool-free Reach and Contact Point Adjust.
