Even if there are minimal compromises on cranks and brakes compared to last year, Bulls remains number one in terms of equipment. Even the mail-order competition loses out at this hard-calculated price. The not only high-quality, but also well thought-out equipment also ensures the second lightest weight in the test. With wheels under the four-kilo mark and high-quality tyres, the Copperhead 3 has agile handling and is easy to accelerate. The powerful Shimano brakes, which even have a large 180 mm disc at the rear, provide the necessary deceleration. The Shadow Plus rear derailleur provides additional peace of mind off-road, reducing chain slap on the precise XT gears.
Excellently equipped and also very light hardtail with balanced handling.
