- Is the Heckler SL a full-power e-bike?
- No. It uses the Fazua Ride 60 system, a lighter motor and battery than full-power e-MTBs. Assist feels natural but has less torque and range.
- How does it compare with the regular Heckler?
- The Heckler SL is lighter and more trail-focused, with less travel and a smaller battery. The full Heckler has more power and range but feels heavier.
- What travel does it have?
- It has 150 mm of rear travel and is built around a 160 mm fork. That puts it in trail and all-mountain territory rather than enduro.
- Can I add a range extender?
- Fazua offers a range extender for the Ride 60 system that mounts in a bottle cage. Check that your frame size and build leave room for it.
- What is included with the frame?
- A frame purchase includes the carbon frame, rear shock and Fazua motor system. Build kits add fork, drivetrain, wheels and dropper post.
- Who is it for?
- Riders who want e-bike help on climbs but still want a bike that handles like a normal trail bike. It suits fit riders more than those wanting maximum range.
