Santa Cruz BULLIT X01 / Coil / AXS / RSV / Carbon CC / MX Review

Shimano motors remain at the top of the engine popularity alongside Bosch motors. No wonder, as evidenced by EP8. The Shimano motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The natural riding feeling combines the Shimano EP8 with a harmonious power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the BULLIT X01 / Coil with only an average range.

No matter how tricky the ground may be, the extremely good Fox chassis brings calmness and provides a lot of control. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. At the rear, the steel spring shock absorber provides maximum sensitivity. When it comes to the brakes, Santa Cruz reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from SRAM. At the drive components and the remaining parts, Santa Cruz uses very good 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. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Santa Cruz definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen. With its 22,61 kg, the BULLIT X01 / Coil is one of the lighter E-bikes. The competition is often significantly heavier.
