Santa Cruz Bullit 2025

With 170 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the Santa Cruz Bullit comes surprisingly close to a downhill bike without a double crown fork. A Bosch Performance CX motor is also on board to ensure that you can get uphill properly, demonstrating its virtues of strength and reliability.

The four-link rear triangle is used on the Santa Cruz Bullit, as it has already proven itself on the Vala. Dispensing with the VPP rear triangle makes it possible to combine a large motor with a longer dropper post and, above all, with the desired suspension characteristics, which are amply available at 170 millimetres. 

The Performance CX motor from Bosch provides propulsion, and a Bosch battery with 600 Wh is located in the down tube. eA 250 Wh range extender makes itself comfortable on the down tube if desired. 

All equipment variants of the Bullit weigh less than 22.5 kg. As usual with Santa Cruz, the pivot points are robust and easy to maintain and first-time owners receive lifetime replacement bearings for the rear triangle. For the first time, the Bullit is also available in frame size Small, as well as frame sizes up to XXL.
