Santa Cruz Bullit - E MTB Review

[@Coolcmsc]

Bullit Pilot here! Great review and I wouldn’t argue with any of it. This is a bike to progress on, which is not always true of such capable bikes, some of which demand a high level of rider capability from the get-go. Oh, and I don’t like the Code’s either - I went for MT5’s on big Magura rotors at the front and at the back. Thanks!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🙌

[@TheBigred2500]

I bought a bullit. It let's me climb and send. It's steroid Sammy Sosa mountain biking. I'll take the juice and you can put an asterisk next to my bike.

[@ChemicalMathieu]

Well... Mine awaits me at the store... it's winter in here, Can't wait to step on trails with my own Bullit. Nice review!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah congrats!! And thanks so much for watching. 🙌

[@shanecolgan3520]

Interesting observation about the brakes! Class review and footage as always!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much Shane! 🙌

[@jbroaders]

You are absolutely killing those trails - inspirational stuff !!!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thank you so much John! 🙌👊

[@ianredmond3936]

Great video Cat, you were flying it As a Bullit Pilot, I can concur with everything you've said in the video. Sinéad loved it too and it's given her more confidence in the ability of her bike now too. Thank you!

[@CatMTBPilot]

It’s a class bike alright! Thanks a mill for the lovely comment Ian. 🙌👊

[@mtb_alan]

Solid review! Fun footy, good details, and well-written. 🙏🏾 Appreciate the time and care you put into your vids.

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you so much for the lovely comment! 👊🙌

[@danhart2411]

Very well done cat. Amazing trails there in Ireland. Can't wait to see more .

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much! Yeah they’ve an epic set up at The GAP alright. 🙌

[@danhart2411]

Very impressive, like the nice flowy trails with a little chunk in them . Here in the states live in Missouri trails are chunky and tree roots some flowy but not many .

[@usernamwdrama]

Rad trails and rapid riding, sweet.

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much! 🙌

[@kaywoodparsons7793]

Great vid! I ride a FREY AM1000 . It's a beast! 160 ml front and rear travel. Rockshox rear and Rock Shox Yari front. Maxis Minion fron and disector rear. One up Orange pedals and funn grips

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thanks for watching and love the sound of your bike! 🙌

[@mattposvar8193]

Great video and nice riding! I have a 2022 Heckler 29er and it is fantastic. The Bullit for bike parks and downhill would be amazing!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah it’s a perfect bike for that alright, the Heckler is an awesome bike too. 🙌

[@Pozitivi]

That's awesome :) well done !!

Great Video, thanks for the review & nice track. I’ve Bullit as well this video certainly make me great full to have one

[@christianmasters3240]

Great review thanks. I'm off to look at one I'm the week 😬

Ah brill!! 🥰🙌

[@MountainBikeCulture]

Epic video! What a sick bike

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you so much for watching and the lovely comment! 🙌

[@rc51bigdaddy]

I was ready to buy a Bullit until I started reading about the battery range. Ended up getting a Gen3 Turbo Levo which was the right choice for me as I weigh almost 90 kilos. Would love to have the Brose motor and 700wh battery in the Bullit.

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah congrats on the new bike and enjoy!

[@averagepinoyrider8114]

just got mine and so excited to try it out 😁😁😁😁

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah great enjoy!! 🙌🙌

[@richardhugi5594]

Great riding, love your accent

[@dzatskennel]

i did enjoy watching your video'...

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much for watching! 😃🙌

[@yetti423]

That bike soo suits you.

[@CatMTBPilot]

🤣🙌🙌

[@stianjarnass]

Nice colour 👏🔥

[@CatMTBPilot]

Yeah it’s blinging alright!!

[@stianjarnass]

I didn't realise it was a ebike before you said it 🤣. Nice riding 👏👏. My best most stable bike I ridden til know is an ebike😁

[@SEKTAMTB]

I know a few people that have the ep8 and they do rattle like hell. Not sure I could cope. Interesting about the bash guard that softens the noise though. Great riding 👌

[@CatMTBPilot]

Yes it definitely does, you’d hardly notice with the bash guard. Thank you so much for watching! 🙌👊

[@DonFather]

Remember if the Bullit is too big, the Heckler comes in small and is just a tad less downhill oriented but probably will do for most people.

[@CatMTBPilot]

Yes you’re spot on thou for me personally I like the downhill orientation. Hopefully I might get a chance to test ride the Heckler soon 🤞

[@emtbtrailrider539]

That’s what I eRide mines setup 180 f / 170 r SC Bullit XT Air

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah cool, great bike! 🙌

[@fluffettemtbtv5251]

Thanks for sharing - Electric is the way to go ! Out of curiosity, what sort of speed in trails were you able to reach with the Bullit ?

[@CatMTBPilot]

Definitely the way to go thou I do still love my analogue bike! I didn’t actually monitor what speed I was doing, prob a bit slower than I would be on my own e bike due to unfamiliarity but if you want to go fast the Bullit will travel.

[@295MVP]

nice review mate! how long did the battery last and what mode were you mainly using? TIA

[@CatMTBPilot]

We did about twenty km and about a quarter of the battery was gone and I was mostly in trail mode. 😃

[@russc5269]

Nice vid. What was the bash guard for the motor you mentioned ?

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much! It’s the Amygos Bashguard www.amygos.fr you’ll find it at!

Hi, great video. I’m just about to receive mine soon with a bit of luck!! A lot of delays due to covid! Would you be able to post link for that battery guard if possible? Thanks 👍

[@grahamlush8185]

@@CatMTBPilot Thanks for that👍

[@mtbaxel9643]

Great review..Did it feel much bigger than the size small Megawatt factory that you reviewed as well? The reason I asked is I currently own a small megawatt factory & planning to sell it to buy a medium Bullit...I am only 165 cm so I’m a bit worried about the standover height. I also own a 2020 medium Bronson which is about the same size as my small megawatt... Thank you...

[@CatMTBPilot]

It definitely felt much bigger to me but Al has 800m handlebars on it so that would have made it feel even bigger. But the stand over felt bigger too. I’m 162cm and I do have shorter legs so bearing that in mind with you being 165 I think you’d be ok. Best bet is to see if you can get a go on someone’s before buying. Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comment!

[@mtbaxel9643]

@@CatMTBPilot Thanks, you’re an amazing rider & reviewer...

[@brendan1]

Thanks for the review Cat! Where are those trails in Ireland? They look fun. What's the elevation like?

[@CatMTBPilot]

That’s filmed at at The GAP (Glencullenadventurepark) and its an amazing spot! We don’t have the highest elevation in Ireland but they’ve done a great job here as they’ve now opened trails higher up that link into the lower ones so you get more time going downhill!

[@brendan1]

@@CatMTBPilot ah just south of Dublin. i have family that lives just west of Dublin in Newbridge.

[@michaelkoprowski1489]

Nice! what`s the bashguard called that settles the motornoise?

[@CatMTBPilot]

Amygos , you’ll find them at www.Amygos.fr 🙌

[@FlowFinderUSA]

Just wish they weren't so damn expensive. Otherwise that bike would have been my choice. Went YT Decoy instead which I'm not unhappy about in the slightest.

[@corbettlovesbikes]

Same here, Decoy Shred. 👍

[@CatMTBPilot]

I test rode the Decoy and it was an amazing bike so I’m not surprised you love it. 🙌👊

[@Goggleberry123]

so the big question are you trading in the kenevo 😀

[@CatMTBPilot]

No way!! I love my Kenevo too much! 🤣🤣

[@77wakeup]

Hello!! Just wandering, you bought a kenevo s3 with 475mm reach and you find bullit M (450mm) too big for you? I am in between these two bikes, im 165cm almost like you and trying to guess which will fit better…

[@CatMTBPilot]

Sorry only saw your message now! I think the Kenevo is 470 but yes with the medium you would think the bike would have suited me. The cockpit set up with the wide handlebars (800mm) etc I think made the bike feel bigger than the Kenevo. If it was my own bike obviously the set up would be different. I think both bikes would suit you to be honest so it would depend on your personal preference, best advice I could give is to try get a test ride in. Best of luck with your purchase! 🙌

[@77wakeup]

@@CatMTBPilot Thank you Cat!!

[@lukaszdoesmtb2852]

Do you prefer the zeb or fox 38 🤔

[@CatMTBPilot]

The Fox 38 but that’s just because that’s what I ride more on my bike!

[@DonFather]

Hi MTB Girl. I tried searching online but could not find the motor guard you mentioned. Could you please give me a link to it or the name? Is it Amigos? Thanks.

[@CatMTBPilot]

Yes of course it’s amygos.fr and you’ll get it.

[@aktrevios2967]

bullit not the same quality , kenevo is the best for me et de loin , bullit s cc mx €9699 equivalent off metapower SX RIDE 2021 5 899,00 €.....

[@CatMTBPilot]

Well I do love the Kenevo so I’m not going to argue with that! 😃

[@jedeckert8912]

Why is the power button all the way at the bottom? BAD!

[@CatMTBPilot]

It didn’t affect me to be honest, you only put it in once at the start of the ride and switch it off at the end.
