Bulls SONIC EVO AM 2 ABS 29/27,5 Review

Edgy, futuristic, good? The SONIC EVO AM 2 ABS 29/27,5 certainly divides opinion with its distinctive looks.
The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Steep ramps are no problem for the Bosch motor. Additionally, the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System stands out with a very well-rounded riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Bulls SONIC EVO AM 2 ABS 29/27,5 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (6000) .

The frame on entry-level was stingy with control. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the SONIC EVO AM 2 ABS 29/27,5. With their four pistons and large brake rotors the TRP brake brakes good. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. 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. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.
