Santa Cruz Bicycles creates category-leading downhill, cross-country, and electric bikes, with a focus on high quality and long-term durability for real-world riding.

Santa Cruz Bicycles has been building quality bikes since 1994.

Santa Cruz describes their bikes as “simply advanced”—high-performing and engineered with modern technology, while still focused on ride enjoyment and longevity.

Proportional geometry is Santa Cruz’s approach to engineering each frame size so that certain elements scale as size increases—aiming to avoid compromises in performance, efficiency, or fit across sizes.

Check the geometry and sizing information on each product page—fit and intended use can vary by model. If you’re between sizes, contact us and we’ll help you choose the best option.

Yes — we offer secure worldwide shipping. Bikes are packed carefully for transport so they arrive protected and ready for setup.

Santa Cruz describes mid-powered e-bikes as a balanced approach with improved handling, extended range, and a more natural ride feel (often using 250–500W systems). Full-powered e-bikes are positioned as maximum power options with stronger climbing ability, higher performance, and larger batteries (they mention 600–720 Wh).

Heckler SL is positioned as the lighter, more natural-handling option for all-day trail riding, while Heckler is the more powerful full-power platform for riders who want more assistance on demanding terrain.

Yes—Santa Cruz notes their e-bike systems are designed for real trail use and wet weather riding, but they advise avoiding power-washing.

We currently offer Santa Cruz Heckler, Heckler SL, Bullit, and Vala models (availability depends on build kits and model years).
