The only thing feeling nervous in steep and chunk is me. The Bullit is in its happy place. Can’t speak to poppiness compared to the Vala.I recently sold my Vala XO and am now strongly considering a bullit to replace it. Vala was an awesome bike but did feel nervous in some steep and chunk. Does the bullit seem like its a good fit? Does it retain any of the poppiness that the vala has?
