Awarding our e-MTB of the year 2024 :: Santa Cruz Heckler SL :: Plus in-depth review

Спорт

We've been testing Santa Cruz's latest electric mountain bike all summer long, pushing the bike and it's battery to the limits! Join Scotty and JT as they chat in detail about how the bike performs; its strengths and its weaknesses, and discussing what type of rider they reckon the Heckler SL going to suit the most?

    Finally took the emtb plunge, have had mine for a month now, and I can’t wipe the grin off my face. I’m a long time mtb’r turned 62, have limited time these days for after work rides, I’m surrounded by hills, and wanted a real mtb with just a bit of assist.....man this thing fits the bill to perfection.

    I’ve been test riding so many SL type e-bikes over the last few months, the Santa Cruz SL was so much better than the rest for me I had to pull the trigger and get one. Had it a week now and loving it even more!

    Where did the Levo SL Gen 2 come in on the list? How does it compare to the Heckler SL?

    Nice bikes with great handleing if not the best money can buy (VPP) but around £3000 of the asking price goes on the sticker and badge

    finally someone mentioned the main usp of this bike , is that it doesn’t look like an ebike but still rides like one…. almost. you can see what santa cruz are trying to do here, and this may be only the prototype in that ideology but, it will work for some and as the tech evolves this design path will work for the many. i really want one, but don’t need one. hopefully by the time (my age and dodgy knees ) comes this will have been refined and into the bike we all dream of, light fast and beautiful, affordable , easy to maintain etc. well done santa cruz , the future is yours

    How is that a USB? Pretty much every SL EMTB (especially tho use with a Fazua motor) doesn’t look like an ebike but rides like an ebike. Seems like a great bike for sure but there is nothing unique about it.

    Would love to see a comparison / commentary vs. the KSL1.2 or even 1.1

    Sorry guys but 40k & 1kM of climbing is not a massive ride. Having said that would I swap my levo sl for the Heckler SL, if I had £8.5K lying around then I probably would.

    They did say 40k PLUS meaning more than 40k.
