2021 Santa Cruz Bullit

[Downhillr]

Got my Bullit finished today. Picked it up from LSB on thursday after toooooo long wait because of harbour strikes here in Finland. First bike I build from the box, nice way to spend weekend . Totally stock S-model, only mods are brakes because I don`t like Codes and they don`t like me. And some dyedbro protection. I think otherwise the spec is perfect for me. Wasn`t sure about the colour but after watching it whole weekend I like it. I sold my Levo already few weeks ago and can`t wait to ride this but weather is really shit now, maybe for whole week, so we`ll see when that happens.

FYI… when Mother Nature rains on your parade, I suggest you put one of these (XL) on your ride and go out and play!

Nice! When Mother Nature rains on your ride I suggest you take a look at these two links:

Fox Introduces XL Integrated Fender for 36 & 38

The season of rain and mud is upon us. So if you want more protection from your fender, Fox has thought of a solution and today presents an XL version of their integrated fender for 36 and 38 forks. . The fender has the same way of fixing on the fork and the same shape, but an extended length...

This winter in NorCal has been so wet we just went out & played in the mud anyway, BTW, I use the XL fender and it really helps keep mud & spray out of my face, if you can find the Mudslinger you'll be happy, just spray under down-tube, bottom bracket, back of seatpost & suspension links(NOT on brakes/rotors).
Time to ride!!

Plan was to put my RRP proguard from Levo but I have lost the adaptors to dit it to Fox 38 and those Fox own mudguards are out of stock everywhere. It was same thing with RRP when I tried to get one, out of stock. But you are right, this kind of mudguard is really great!

Finally had change for decent ride yesterday . First ride was on full snow and summer tires so there wasn`t much to say how the bike felt except had to change ”spare” wheels with contis because I have heard that Maxxis 3C don`t work so well on minus celcius degrees. Anyway I`m looking forward to see if those OEM Maxxis tires are so good as every claims. But contis are so good so no hurry to change back . I think generally Levo motor is better but Shimano is so close so it really doesn`t matter. Takes some time to get use to power cutting out in the end of the power curve what Levo didn`t have. It kept giving power as long as you just pedalled. Otherways trailmode (set up similary for both my bikes) are prettty close. And I was little worried about 27.5” rear wheel compared to 29” Levo on rock and roots but that wasn`t an issue. This was just trail riding, don`t know when I have change to take it to bike park but I`m sure it will fly
