Im just starting to get serious into mountain biking and ive been riding a friends full suspension specialized stumpjumper for a while now and looking to get my own bike. I ride mostly trail and some all mountain. So im looking at getting a santa cruz heckler. How do you all like this bike for those who have experience with it or just santa cruz bikes in general.
Are they well made?
Are they made in the USA?
How do they compare to the bigger brands like specialized and trek?
Any other opinions or info would be great.
I looked at the butcher and considered it but the heckler is a little lighter and i actually prefer the single pivot for its ease of maintenence and simplicity.
