Wondering if it is the motor or battery or both that seems to give less range. I have serious Brose/700wh envy, but not enough to buy a Turbo Levo because I like the SC bikes so much. At least the Shimano batteries are a little easier to carry in a back pack.49 nm, ??That’s an eco setting.
I can get 20 miles out of mine on eco with 50 nm. I set trail at 70nm And can get around 18 miles with that set up. 600m elevation.
about 20% less distance than the Bosch set up
I don’t see a problem with the range I’ve owed a 2019 Levo and 2020 kenevo both with 700wh battery’s and I’m getting almost same range out of my Bullit.
Would you care to share your settings? Do you use trail mode?
Yeah sure I will post them tomorrow when connect back up with the bike but they are not far off the ones posted on here #120
I can compare, IMO the brose is a little bit more powerful then the ep8 but I’m not missing the brose at all, but to be fair I’m not really interested in who is the fastest up the hill and the Bullit is 110% faster down the hill then then the levo and kenevo I had previously.
Yes it was a 2020.
Have you tried Brink
Yes they done my custom build, amazing customer service. ask for Matt
Checked mine today, bolts are same length as yours. They we’re torqued ok.
An ex 2020 Levo owner here now with a Bullit. Firstly, the Pink Bike review doesn’t quite say that about pop and it fits with my experience. Secondly, the Bullit is, amazingly, more agile than the Levo in most circumstances. Obviously the Mullet is part of that, but I recon the rear is so much more agile. Also, the weight distribution fore and aft of the bottom bracket feels a little different — but I can’t measure that. I’m in no doubt that I’m in possession of the next gen of e-bikes. Oh, and shocks/forks are so good now that longer travel is not really a disadvantage when looking for more playfulness, especially if you put in a little more pressure as noted in the Pink Bike review. And, lastly, when you tip over into that steep switch back, you’ll not have that niggling Levo feel of maybe going over the bars if you make a mistake ???
Me too. So nice, but also so knowledgeable. They also know heaps about forks/suspension, so ask for advice on that. Talked me through all the options. Advised I get the cheaper S build on the basis of my riding and plans for upgrade over time — how generous is that? They have stock on order.
Like Richwall, that’s where I’m riding mine too - a blast. You have so much to look forward to. You’ll smoke your best time down the Roman Road and the Beast may have to be renamed something less sinister???
insane how quick this bike is on the rocky/rough stuff, it just seems to flatten stuff out??
Just been talking to 18Bikes in Hope Derbyshire (U.K.) about something else today and during that they told me that SantaCruz has told dealers that the announcement about the details of the 2022 bikes is being brought forward. Usually that’s about August each year — so sooner than that then. Delivery of the 2022 bikes is expected to fit their usual annual cycle (bad pun, sorry?) which is usually availability to the importers in batches throughout the year in the U.K. , so 2022 delivery is probably not being brought forward. It looks like the main changes for the Bullit will be colours plus minor mechanical tweaks with its exceptional frame continuing ‘as is’, so coil or air can will fit. The nice thing is that the pictures of the new bikes, when they come, will be of the actual bikes, not photoshopped new colours onto the 2021 frame. ?
Another ride today on the Bullit up at Dalby just shuttling Dh runs, 21.2 miles, 3215 ft of climbing.
2 bars of battery left when i got back to the car. In trail all the ride
Agreed and that fits with confirmed conversation between Santa Cruz U.K. and the exceptionally trustworthy 18Bikes in Hope.
