Looks good.
- Though, I hope they did not put the bearings in the Downtube like they did on the 07' Superlights. I've seen too many Treks and Fishers with issues from having pivots in a thin tube rather than a beefy yoke or the swingarm itself (the way SCB used to do it). :skep:

I like it. But listen up, SC...if there's no XL size, I'm gonna buy a Turner.
Hard to tell, but it looks like the bearings got bigger. The only real complaint about the Heckler was swing arm flex and I wonder if the rear is stiffer now?
Glad you are digging the 4X Indyfab. You were contemplating for a while there. There have been a lot of tempting deals on the 4X these days.

crap, I didn't even notice that.
In that case, everything's gravy. Kinda looks like they dropped the replaceable dropout though...I'm a big fan of that feature, although I haven't had to use it.

Not nearly as much tire clearance as the current heckler - and apparently they changed the geometry - higher bb and longer tt. I prefer the old heckler.crisillo said:
clarification
by comparison, the old bullit has a 12.7mm pivot axle, the last generation heckler has a 12.7mm pivot axle, and the last generation superlight and first generation hecklers have 9.5mm pivot axles.
the new bullit has a 20mm pivot axle. the new heckler and the new superlight both have 15mm pivot axles.checocc said:the new superlight has a 20mm pivot and the heckler a 15mm pivot???
what's the catch.
I think the new heckler should be stiffer in all their parts. that's only my 2 cents.
