Pitch is night and day better in every way than the heckler
I kind of have to agree that the Pitch is the better bike and was more fun to ride, Santa cruz market it as “all mountain” but it feels more like long legged trail bike, it felt quicker on the everything but the climbs and decents, in the Alps on long rockey decents the Heckler felt like it would tuck real easy and the front felt like it was made of pasta with revs on, i wouldnt turn my nose up at a Heckler as a trail bike, i just expected it the feel a tougher and cope with the downs better, the New revised bike sound like a giant leap forward.
