Bulls launches new integration of Bosch motors
Bulls has put a lot of energy into the integration of Bosch motors. The Six 50 E and Twenty 9 E hardtails as well as their full-suspension counterparts come in new splendour. Highlight: a carbon version.

A large part of the Bulls E-MTB range has been given a new motor integration. The Six 50 + E (27.5-Plus) and Twenty 9 E (29-inch) hardtails will come with the new design from the E 1.5 model onwards. There will be three equipment variants each, with prices ranging from 2799 to 3199 euros. Rock Shox Recon forks with 120 millimetre suspension are fitted to the top-of-the-range E 3 models, weighing in at 21.5 kilos. The more affordable E 2 and E 1.5 models come with Suntour forks and also 120 millimetres of suspension travel.

At the top end of the hardtail fleet, Bulls is building a carbon e-MTB for the first time. The Black Adder Team E SL+ hardtail is said to weigh around 18 kilos and costs a hefty 6699 euros. The carbon frame shares the Bosch integration with its aluminium counterparts and the high-end version will also be available in both 27.5 plus and 29 inch versions. Cheaper versions of the Black Adder E Carbon are also planned - from 3999 euros.

There are also new additions to the full-suspension e-mountainbikes range: the Six 50 + E FS 2 and the Twenty 9 E FS 2 (Recon fork, deluxe shock) offer 120 millimetres of suspension travel, while the FS 3 versions (Yari fork, deluxe shock) each offer 150 millimetres. The prices here are 3899 euros (FS 2) and 4299 euros (FS 3).
