What goes up, loves coming down
The Bullit is an electric mountain bike designed for tackling the steepest and deepest of trails in both directions. Imagine the kinds of rooty, rocky, horror fests usually reserved for the biggest-hitting bikes. Then imagine what lies beyond that. The Bullit takes a no limits approach. 170mm travel, a 38mm-diameter fork and DoubleDown tires reflect the smashability of this platform. This is a bike for riders who seek downhill bike trails that are out of range of any chairlift or shuttle road.

They come in 32mm width and have an inboard snap-on lock ring to keep them tight but no ring on the outboard side so they’re super comfortable. And they’ll do your taxes* *not true.

FAQ's
Can I run a dual crown fork on the Bullit?
No, this is not compatible. Full stop.
For even more information, visit the ebike FAQ's page.
Can you run the Bullit full 27.5"?
You can, but definitely not recommended. It would reduce BB height, pedal to ground clearance and negatively affect handling characteristics.
What rear shock can I run?
Shock size is 230mm x 62.5mm, but we tune the OE rear shock specifically for the Bullit model
Where can I find additional technical information for my Bullit?
Check out the E-bike tech page, Shimano STEPS, and the bike archive for more information.
For even more information, visit the ebike FAQ's page.
Where do I find my bike's serial number?
The serial number on our emtb's is located on the frame, behind the lower link above the motor. Feel free to reach out to Rider Support with any questions
