Santa Cruz Bicycles Bullit MX CC X01 Reserve E-Mountain Bike 2021

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

In it to win it? Super Deluxe Ultimate is the smart bet for the podium. Packed to the hilt with fine-tuning adjustments that meaningfully improve suspension performance, it’s the most advanced shock RocShox have ever made. Pioneering one of the most impactful innovations in damper history, the new RC2T damper allows for 100% independent High Speed and Low Speed Compression adjustments, rounding out an arsenal of elite technology.

Shock Adjustments - Separate and Independent Open and Threshold Pistons / Low Speed Compression Adjustment / Rebound Adjustment / Air Spring Pressure

Take on the steepest climbs and toughest trails in full confidence with 85Nm increased maximum torque. Tackle the ascent with eyes firmly focused on the top. Drop into the descent with certainty. Enjoy the ride. But power is nothing without control. EP8 delivers smooth, direct power to ensure you’re always in complete control while experiencing a natural ride feeling.

Shimano's 630Wh battery provides epic range with a sleek, rapid charging design. It's easily removable, making battery swaps and cable access a breeze, and is designed to go through hundreds of cycles without degradation.

A rider’s cockpit is their sanctuary and the shifter is at the heart of it. Make any refinement, and it better have been made to elevate performance. The X01 Eagle™ shifter stays true to this philosophy. It comes with a forged aluminum trigger to hold up better to everyday demands, and an enhanced lever feel rolling on sealed cartridge bearings offering more precision through the full range of movement. 

Elevating the shift, expanding the capable, the X01 Eagle derailleur features an updated cage architecture, to provide better chain management than ever. The X01 Eagle rear derailleur works with the new 10-52t cassettes and is backwards compatible to also work with 10-50t options.

Designed for the rigors of mountain bike riding, the Shimano Steps EM900 is a dedicated E-MTB crank that uses HollowTech II crank arms that same appearance as FC-MT900.

The new 10-52t, XG-1295 cassette gives riders more than ever before, with an unprecedented 520-percent range. For a little extra to avoid the hike-a-bike, a little more in the “spin to win” game, the XG-1295 cassette also allows stronger riders to increase their chainring size if they want.

FEATURES

• Provides a massive 520-percent gear range for brutal steeps and avoiding hike-a-bikes.
• Stronger riders can increase chainring size for speed, without sacrificing climbing.
• Avalable in Black, the Eagle™ Colorsystem lets the cassette and chain express the look of the bike.

It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. Hard Chrome technology extends the chain's optimal performance life.

FEATURES

• Groundbreaking chain design and technology
• The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology.
• Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity
• The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings

Meet the new standard for hard-hitting, heavy-duty braking. SRAM added 15% extra piston power and 30% more volume in the lever reservoir, ensuring peak performance for the full run. And with SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, lever feel remains smooth and progressive, no matter how hard the pull. Go deeper and grab more power.

The Fox Transfer seatpost is lighter and tighter than ever before. Less weight, reduced length and decreased insertion depth means a better fit on more frames. Improved durability and easier serviceability means more riding and less downtime. Transfer is ready to tackle the nastiest terrain.

“Factory” says it all. The best-of-the-best technology Fox has to offer is available in their Factory Series models with a buttery smooth, ultra durable Genuine Kashima Coat. Fox's Factory products are World Cup proven.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Tubeless tires allow riders to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and less chance of flatting.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.

• 3C MaxxTerra: A triple compound ideal for trail riding in all conditions - offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip.
• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Tubeless tires allow riders to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and less chance of flatting.
