Bulls makes no compromises on the suspension of the Wild Ronin Team and relies on the expensive Ultimate version from Rockshox for both the fork and shock. With 140 millimetres of travel and sensitive response, this investment pays off. For the gears and brakes, Bulls relies on a tried-and-tested Shimano XT with 200 mm discs on the front and rear wheels. The lightweight carbon wheels from DT Swiss also stand out positively. Together with the fast-rolling Schwalbe tyres, the Wild Ronin accelerates with ease and takes first place in the uphill rankings. In addition, the rear suspension hardly bobs even without a platform. Another unusual feature in this category is the option of mounting a second bottle cage in the frame triangle.
Test summary of the Bulls Wild Ronin Team
