Bulls COPPERHEAD 3 RS 29

The "COPPERHEAD 3 RS 29" model from Bulls, released in 2024, is a high-quality mountain bike designed for demanding riders. The frame is made from super-light 6061 aluminium, which is triple-butted and seamlessly welded. The internal cable routing and thru-axle ensure a clean, tidy appearance and enhanced stability. The maximum load capacity is 125 kg, which is indicative of its robust construction.

The SHIMANO BR-M7110-R hydraulic disc brakes, combined with the 180 mm SHIMANO SM-RT30 CL brake discs at both the front and rear, ensure reliable braking performance in all conditions. Gear changes are handled by the 12-speed SHIMANO Deore XT RD-M8100 rear derailleur, controlled by the SHIMANO Deore XT SL-M8100 shift levers, which are equipped with RapidFire+ and I-Spec-EV. The crankset consists of the SHIMANO Deore XT FC-M8100 with 32 teeth, whilst the SHIMANO Deore CS-M6100 cassette offers a range of 10–51 teeth.

The RockShox Reba RL R fork, with 100 mm of travel, ensures excellent damping and control on uneven terrain. The bike is also fitted with MonkeyLink Recharge front and rear lights, although these are not included in the package. The BULLS MTB pedals provide a solid connection between rider and bike.

The handlebars are BULLS Sport-SL double-butted riser bars, complemented by MTB Sport grips and a BULLS MTB-SL stem, which is 3D-forged and CCS Slot Mount-ready. The headset is an FSA No.57SC. The BULLS XC-21 Evo tubeless-ready rims are fitted with SCHWALBE Racing Ray / Racing Ralph Evo Super Race TLE tyres in size 57-622, which provide excellent grip and speed.

The hubs are a SHIMANO HB-TC500-B at the front and a SHIMANO FH-TC500-MS-B at the rear, the latter with a 12x148 axle. The SELLE ROYAL Sirio S1 saddle and the BULLS aluminium seatpost, with a diameter of 31.6 mm, offer comfort and stability.

The COPPERHEAD 3 RS 29 is priced at 2199 EUR and is an excellent choice for riders who value quality, performance and durability.
