Santa Cruz Bicycles Bullit CC E-Bike

The mullet configuration—a 29-inch front wheel paired with a 27.5-inch rear—is designed to balance rollover capability with agility. The larger front wheel helps you track over obstacles, while the smaller rear wheel keeps the bike nimble and easier to maneuver through tight, technical corners.

It is designed for both. With its high-capacity 600Wh battery and efficient Bosch motor, it has the range for long alpine adventures, while the 170mm of travel and robust suspension setup provide the durability needed for aggressive bike park riding.

The SRAM X0 Eagle AXS drivetrain is remarkably low-maintenance compared to traditional cable-actuated systems. You will need to keep the battery charged and ensure the derailleur hanger is straight, but you won't have to deal with cable stretch or housing friction over time.

The FOX Float X2 is a high-performance air shock that offers extensive adjustability for high- and low-speed compression and rebound. It provides a very planted, supple feel that excels at tracking the ground on steep, rough terrain, giving you significant confidence when the trail gets rowdy.

The Maven Silver brakes are incredibly powerful and designed for heavy-duty use, making them excellent for a high-speed e-bike. While they offer more stopping power than standard trail brakes, the modulation is excellent, allowing you to control your speed precisely without feeling like the brakes are too grabby.

The battery is integrated into the frame for a cleaner look and better protection, which means it is not designed for quick, tool-free swaps mid-ride. You should plan to charge the battery while it is installed in the bike.
