The COPPERHEAD EVO 3 XXL ABS 29 has numerous siblings within its model family. With 120mm of travel on the fork and large 29 wheels, this version is superior to some of its Copperhead family relatives when it comes to light terrain.

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System shows. Also steepest climbs the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System provides a very natural riding experience with a progressive power delivery. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Bulls COPPERHEAD EVO 3 XXL ABS 29 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) ⬤.

In rough terrain, the COPPERHEAD EVO 3 XXL ABS 29 lacks a bit of control with its only average fork. At the brakes, Bulls reaches for the bottom of the Tektro shelf and instals simple brakes with four pistons. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Bulls uses average parts. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. Hell yeah, the geometry is killer! Here the know-how of the Bulls developers is videly visible.
