Santa Cruz Bullit GX AXS
With a small, permanently installed battery, the Santa Cruz Bullit is fully designed for trail strength. A concept that works: test victory in the high-end comparison! For a powerful E-Enduro, the Californian remains surprisingly direct and fun. The bike is less of a specialist for extreme downhill use and more of a balanced trail all-rounder with reserves for more. On tour, the moderate range can be limiting.
