Well this sure looks interesting!
First Ride: 2021 Santa Cruz Bullit - It's Electric - Pinkbike
The Bullit is back, this time with mixed wheels and a motor.

It does look great to be honest.Looks like a great bike, but damn that pricing is just crazy, discounting the e7000 model as IMO thats just not fit for purpose on such a bike, you are looking at 9k for the base EP8!
Plus why on earth would you put the power switch down there!
Unless you get one on the cycle to work scheme and circa 40% off it......
£6.2k for the X01 or £5.2k XT then seems reasonable in man maths.
but you could do that with a £6k bike too. Rumour Boris is is going to give a ebike incentive scheme (32% off) like green cars have enjoyed this march I wonder if they'll stack?
Indeed. So guessing you are not well skilled in man maths. ?
If they do the 32% I wonder if the cycle to work scheme will still have the same tax benefits on the revised prices.
practically free then ? View attachment 44663
That's ridiculous ! So if I eat/drink (choose as necessary) too much the govt. will then effectively give me more money.Rumour also has it soon your GP can prescribe you cycling on the NHS if you're over weight which gives you a discount on a bike.... time to hit the pies for a discount!
I think the price is relative. People buy expensive houses, boats, sports cars, and whatnot. A new set of wheels for Porsche is probably the same as the top spec SC Bullit ebike.
Maybe a little too meta for the average shopper though..even if they're shopping for a $12K bike...If you follow DH at all and have seen the Fox Suspension vlogs then then this will make you chcuckle
On the positive, that includes the tyres !Ha. Even that depends on the spec. You can drop $70K USD on a set of Porsche wheels:
Where did you get one from ? Looks like a lot of stock already sold today ...Just ordered one. ETA March/April. One of the perks of being old is having a big more funding Probably will sell my Heckler once the new toy arrives. I love Santa Cruz bikes and the Bullit addresses all the issues I have with the Heckler. The Heckler is a handful on steep rooty downhills. The 29 front I installed helped a lot but the slacker head angle of the Bullit should fix that. It will be nice to have more power and range too. Probably will still need a second battery but will wait and see if the efficiency of the new motor is better.
