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 our biggest hitting bikes like the Nomad and Megatower. Then imagine what lies beyond that.
Where the Heckler's priority is agility and playful handling, the Bullit takes a more no limits approach. 170mm travel, a 38mm fork and DoubleDown tires reflect the smashability of this platform. This is a bike for riders who seek V10 level terrain that's out of range of any chairlift or shuttle road.
It was actually the Santa Cruz Syndicate team's success on their mixed wheel DH race bikes that made us consider the same format for the Bullit. We learned from them that mixed wheels provide the confidence at speed of a 29er with the more spritely handling characteristics and maneuverability of a 27.5-inch rear wheel. And for an e-bike, it also means we can dictate exactly how long (or short) we want to make the chainstays to balance climbing traction and handling. The added butt clearance on super steep stuff is just another bonus.
The biggest trails take a bigger commitment to reach them. Thankfully Shimano's commitment to the STEPS EP8 motor means we have a lighter, more powerful (85nm), more compact and more efficient way of reaching them. The EP8 is also tuned to give more power in Trail mode without affecting range. So paired with Shimano’s biggest 630wh battery it ensures the Bullit is fully equipped for long, tough climbs to the longest, toughest descents.

Taille de cadre
Si vous vous trouvez entre deux tailles recommandées, l'idéal est bien sûr d'essayer les deux. Mais à défaut, vous pouvez aussi étudier les mesures de reach et de stack de votre vélo actuel pour les comparer au modèle qui vous intéresse et ainsi vous faire une idée des dimensions qui vous conviennent. Si vous n'avez pas la possibilité d'essayer le vélo, considérez ce qui suit.
Préférences personnelles
un cadre plus grand sera plus stable et offrira plus de place pour bouger sur le vélo sans influer l'équilibre général. Une taille plus grande place la roue avant plus loin devant vous, donnant un sentiment de sécurité, mais demande aussi plus d'effort pour transférer les masses et déplacer le vélo. Réfléchissez à votre style et la façon dont vous aimez rouler, si vous préférez un vélo plus actif et intuitif ou au contraire plus rapide et plus stable. Piloter un vélo plus grand vous demandera forcément plus d'efforts.
Morphologie
Tous les corps n'ont pas les mêmes proportions pour une même taille. Si vous avez de longues jambes et un torse plus court que la plupart des personnes de votre taille, vous privilégierez surement un vélo plus petit que la taille recommandée. Si au contraire vous avez de long bras et un corps plutôt grand, vous préférerez surement une taille plus grande.

Mix of Both Worlds
The mixed wheel configuration of a 29-inch wheel up front provides traction and stability, while the 27.5" rear wheel keeps agility at hand and the chainstay length in-check.
170mm VPP Travel
170mm travel front and rear, a burly 38mm diameter fork and DoubleDown tires reflect the smashability of this platform.
Full CC Carbon Frame
Other bikes in this category rarely adopt carbon because few companies have mastered carbon manufacturing. Our carbon frames are designed in our Carbon Lab in California, made in our own facility by our team and have a lifetime warranty.
Santa Cruz Carbon Di2 Bar
There's nothing worse than an untidy cockpit. Our own bar hides the extra cables of the Shimano STEPS system away, keeping things clean and hassle free.
Shimano STEPS EP8 Motor and 630wh Battery
More power, less weight, even more efficient and the biggest battery Shimano offer.
Quality, Strength, Reliability
The legendary Santa Cruz fit, finish and quality construction make this long-range hauler tough enough to handle anything. The frame, linkages and optional Reserve wheels come with a lifetime warranty.

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
