Santa Cruz Heckler Mountain Bike - X9 AM Build Kit
Dry Creek, SLC, Utah
By Steven Good
April 27, 2009
This bike has been tested in Mueller Canyon and Dry Creek over its first week in my hands outside of SLC. Have to say, it does climb really well and chews up rocks, stumps, mud, roots and anything else you throw in front of it and spits them out with 5.5 in and 6 in on the rear shock for a nice freeride bike. I have it mounted with Crank Bros 5050 XX Pedal and it makes for a bomber freeride setup. Probably not the lightest bike out there, but it still does well for XC use and bombing the downhill sections of a long ride. Well worth the coin! Pick yours up when this comes back into stock...
