Model Info
Product Info
The Santa Cruz Bicycles Bullit MX CC GX AXS E-Mountain Bike cannot be explained in mere words. It has to be experienced. Essentially a Nomad with a built in shuttle driver, the only downside is that it doesn't include an integrated cooler stacked full of frosty beverages. What is does offer is more than enough to change your life for the better – 170mm of travel front and rear, SRAM's latest wireless drivetrain and Code brakes, and an incredibly reliable Shimano EP-8 drive unit that won't quit after a few thousand miles of chunk. Get ready to roast your local and tackle those just-out-of-reach trails you've dreaming of: this Bullit is magic.

Key Features
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate the shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.
Travel – 170mm Front / 170mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)
Shimano 630Wh Integrated Battery – Shimano's largest capacity battery gives you more range and saddle time than ever before. It's easily removable, making battery swaps and cable access a breeze, and is designed to go through hundreds of cycles without degradation.
Shimano EP8 Drive Unit – Lighter, more powerful, and quieter? The latest motor from Shimano is an engineering marvel and a work of art. This unit is also more efficient, more customizable, and smoother. Extremely durable to boot, this is a drive unit that'll be with you for a long time.
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
