The Heckler is the first eMTB offering from the iconic Santa Cruz. In 2021 it's offered in a 27.5" or Mullet wheel option.
This one, the Mullet has 160mm and 150mm of suspension front and back with the Shimano EP8 motor and 504Wh battery.I was lucky enough to ride one for my YouTube channel and it's good, but like anything Santa Cruz, it comes with a pretty high price tag for a bike with pretty industry standard componentry.
Although my pick would be to go for the bigger brother the Bullitt.
