The Bullit adopts the mullet construction of the recently introduced Heckler MX. This mix provides good rollover characteristics with 29-inch wheels at the front and a not too sluggish 27.5-inch rear triangle. The combination of 170 millimetres of travel (with air suspension or coil rear shock depending on the version), 64 degree steering angle, double down tires, 38 millimetre forks and a longer wheelbase than the Heckler means that Santa Cruz has created an E-Enduro that will not shy away from even the most difficult terrain.

The new Shimano EP8 system does its job on board the Bullit. With 85 Nm, a weight of 2.6 kilos for the motor and a battery with 630 watt hours, the electric cornering data is right up to date. The Bullit is available in four equipment variants. The setup with the coil damper could be particularly harmonious, as it adds around half a kilo to the weight, but presumably fits the application area of the E-Enduro perfectly. santacruzbikes.ch

The introductory clip for the Bullit is also very funny. Loris Vergier acts as the voice actor for his bike:
