Over the years since its introduction, the Heckler has undergone a steady evolution and made a lot of friends along the way. Not wanting to alienate any of those friends, we thought long and hard before pulling the trigger on the latest version of everyone’s favorite workhorse. We retained the long-legged, mellow handling geometry, bumped the rear travel up slightly to 150mm, designed the chassis around a 140mm-travel fork, built it strong with a 15mm diameter pivot axle and gusseted tubing, but kept it light with a 6.4lb frame and shock weight. If bikes could be thought of in human athletic terms, some could be compared to marathon runners, and some could be thought of more like wrestlers. Somewhere in the middle, you’d find the Heckler. A damn good rugby player. Even got a built-in bottle opener...See the detail at santacruzmtb
