Santa Cruz Heckler Mountain Bike - X9 AM Build Kit
RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!

One of MBs favorite bikes of all time, what else needs to be said! Great all mountain XC bike, that handles the DH pretty well also, around 28 lbs, sweet, fast and a great climber. One of my favorite parts of the bike is the simple single pivot design you'll save loads on the cost of maintenance since there is only one pivot. I'm 5.9, 160 and the medium gives me plenty of stand over room and soaks up pounding bumps like a dirt bike chassis. This bike sets into corners much like a motorcycle also, super fun!! You will not need to change any components from this simple-to-set-up build kit, get one!
