The LT Performance 29 represents the entry-level price point for e-mountain bikes at Germany-based bike manufacturer Bulls. The attached battery is a toll to pay at the low price. However, graphic accents succeed in making the look integrative. Mounting options for mudguards, luggage racks or side stands as well as bottle cages are there.
The Performance Line from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. At steep sections, the somewhat weak Bosch motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The Bosch Performance Line gives off a well-rounded riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the LT Performance 29 , because of its low range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Bulls LT Performance 29” in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (2000) .

The suspension fork is unfortunately not very high quality. On rough terrain, many riders may lack the control of the suspension at the front. The mid-range brakes from Magura do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the two pistons setup with small 180 brake rotors is only average. 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. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Bulls LT Performance 29”

The LT Performance 29 isnt`t a specialist on the trail. Despite a weak fork and a simple groupset, it remains thanks to an outstanding geometry a solid all-rounder with a wide range of use.
