NEW: Santa Cruz Bullit CC | XO AXS RSV | Long Travel Electric Bike

Santa Cruz Bullit EMTB

We took the Santa Cruz Bullit (MY26) out on the local trails for a first impression, we found out what we needed to know.

Essentially a downhill bike with a motor, we were blown away by the Santa Cruz Bullit 2025! From the first corner we felt right at home. For such a heavy hitting bike, it is super lightweight and handles like a trail bike with a built in ‘get out of jail free’ card. The Fox 38 Float  and Fox Float X2 felt incredible with little to no setup, providing the perfect platform to push on the very first run. The steep seat tube angle makes climbing on rough terrain comfy and stable. The slack angle (63.3 in low) combined with the 27.7 rear wheel makes a playful but planted ride feel which couldn’t be more fun to ride! SRAM Mavens are perfect for this bike, providing the stopping power when things get a bit too tasty and modulation for when conditions are as loose as they were when filming the video (link below).
