Santa Cruz Heckler SL Stout - 2026

FAST, LIGHT, OR POWERFUL–CHOOSE ALL THREE

A sneaky ebike that’s lightweight, powerful, and has surprising range. It combines all the on-trail traits of Santa Cruz with the FAZUA RIDE 60 drive unit. With 150mm of legendary VPP™ suspension, mixed wheels, and progressive geometry, the Heckler SL is a trail bike—but with hidden superpowers.

A TRAIL BIKE WITH HIDDEN SUPERPOWERS

The Heckler SL’s trim weight and the FAZUA RIDE 60 motor’s natural torque delivery make it feel like riding a regular mountain bike—just with more punch. The range is comparable to full-power ebikes because, despite a smaller battery, the RIDE 60 motor sips energy, and the significantly lighter bike makes propulsion easier.

MORE POWERFUL, LIGHTER AND BIGGER BATTERY THAN OTHER SLS

It provides added boost up the hills thanks to the compact FAZUA RIDE 60 drive unit, offering the most power in its category. Lightweight (41 lb / 19 kg, depending on build) and equipped with 150mm of legendary VPP™ suspension, MX wheels, and progressive geometry, it handles like a trail bike—just with the extra power.
