Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesYou know how carmakers can water down model names over the years, with muscle car badges being slapped on tin can commuters after a decade or two? Santa Cruz released their first Heckler in 1996. It was one of the first true "do everything" bikes, a beloved name that blew all sorts of others out of the water. Now it's back as an ebike, but unlike those vehicular disappointments, it's done the Heckler name proud. Powered by a big battery and Shimano's amazing EP8 motor, this new Heckler is even more Heckler than anyone could've imagined 25 years ago. Reliable, far-reaching, and so much fun, this is an S-tier triumph for Santa Cruz!
