Despite the low price point, the battery is already integrated in the down tube of the LT CX 27.5. Visually, the frame is very similar to that of the Copperhead model from Bulls. Instead of thru axles, the wheels are held in the frame by conventional quick release skewers.
The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Also seemingly hopeless inclines the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX provides a very natural riding experience with a dynamic power delivery. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. The short range unfortunately limits the tour radius quite significantly.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Bulls LT CX 27.5” in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (2000) .

As the bumps get bigger and rougher the average SR Suntour fork limits the downhill fun. In descending situations, the Tektro brakes require a lot of hand strength or, optionally, courage from the rider. With two pistons and small 18 brake rotors, they only brake poorly. The narrow #reifen_inch_breite Ace of Pace tires do not do this EMTB's range of use any justice. In our opinion, Bulls has saved weight in the wrong place here. The components and the shifting seem less important for Bulls. The components used here have a clear potential for improvement after a view at the competitors. If the Meta's chainstay length is less than 445, the short chainstay and, if the Reach's Relative Rating is less than 3, the relatively short reach characterise the Bulls as a playful, agile bike. This makes it easy to navigate through winding trails. The 27.5 inch wheels additionally emphasize the playful character. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Bulls LT CX 27.5”

The LT CX 27.5 doesn't stand out among the other bikes on the market. It is overshadowed by a weak groupset and a poor range. Still, it is a solid climber and should find a loyal following.
