Bullit
A DOWNHILL BIKE WITH A BUILT-IN CHAIRLIFT
If you feel the pull of gravity riding but want an extra push to get to the top, the Bullit is for you. Specifically designed to excel on the toughest terrain, it features an electric motor to get you to the drop-in of the wildest trails. The Bullit is the closest you can get to owning both a downhill bike and a chairlift.
TIME FRAMES
WHAT GOES UP, LOVES COMING DOWN

Sizing & Geometry
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

“When gravity is on your side, the Bullit is an impressive performer, offering great handling on a wide range of trail types and excelling when things get particularly rough, fast and steep…The impressive suspension combines with well suited geometry, deepening how natural and easy it is to ride.”
“Downhill, the Bullit is a true master of fun on challenging and rough trails and fast bike park tracks with huge jumps. Here, the Santa Cruz cranks it up to eleven and still delights its rider with smooth yet nimble handling. ”
“22 kilos for an e-MTB with massive downhill genes and robust equipment - that's a statement! This makes the Santa Cruz Bullit a pleasant exception in the obesity-prone E-Enduro segment.”
