The Sonic EVO 1 29 is the highest quality hardtail in the model range of the Cologne-based Bulls brand. The design of the frame looks futuristic thanks to the angular lines and thus creates the perfect transition between the cheaper hardtails and the higher quality fullys.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The very well-rounded motor control and the dynamic power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Sonic EVO 1 29 with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Sonic EVO 1 29” in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) .

The bad Bulls fork suspension transmits bumps relatively clearly to the biker. Especially for heavy riders, the Bulls brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. For an EMTB , the Schwalbe tires with a width of #reifen_inch_breite inches are relatively narrow. In our opinion, Bulls could have put on wider tires. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Bulls uses average parts. When it comes to the geometry, Bulls does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. For the good geometry, the developer team of Bulls definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Bulls Sonic EVO 1 29”

If you want to experience the much-vaunted uphill flow, the Sonic EVO 1 29 is a hot candidate for you. Overall, the Sonic EVO 1 29 due to a very good geometry and a good motor is a good climber for tours on paved paths and gentle trails. But with an average groupset and a moderate range there are also criticisms that come with the overall package.
