Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesGet up early and often on the Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler MX CC R E-Mountain Bike. Santa Cruz used performance level components and Shimano's E7000 motor in this model to keep the costs low and the stoke high. That's not to say there's anything lacking in this build. After all, with its CC carbon frame, mullet wheel configuration, and Santa Cruz's respected and supported build quality, this is still a dream bike...maybe a daydream bike? At any rate, this is a bike that will blow your mind again and again: if you're at all interested, and you know you are. This E-bike is dialed.
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 the 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.
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.
Fox Float Performance DPS Rear Shock – The Float DPS’ lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch help conserve energy for when you need it most.
