Bulls Urban Cologne

The "Urban Cologne" model from Bulls, released in 2023, is a high-quality city bike that stands out for its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium, is double-butted and features smooth welding as well as internal cable routing, which not only gives it an attractive appearance but also extends the cables’ service life. The maximum load capacity is 135 kg, which is a testament to the bike’s stability and load-bearing capacity.

Braking performance is provided by TEKTRO HD-R280 disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable and controlled deceleration. The drivetrain is fitted with the SHIMANO Deore RD-M5120 shadow+ rear derailleur and the SHIMANO Deore SL-M4100 shift lever, offering 10 speeds for precise and smooth gear changes. The PROWHEEL crankset with a 42T chainring and the SHIMANO Deore cassette with a 10-speed range of 11–42T contribute to the drivetrain’s efficiency and versatility.

The fork is made of aluminium and contributes to the bike’s lightness and stability. Lighting is provided by the FUXON FS-50 front light with a 50 lux LED and switch, and the FUXON R-60 Clip LED rear light, which ensure good visibility and safety on the road. The Urban pedals with griptape offer good grip and control whilst riding.

The handlebars are designed as an Urban Comfort Unit and, together with the ERGON GC10 grips, ensure a high level of riding comfort. The FSA ORBIT C40ACB (NO.42/ACB) headset contributes to precise steering. The DDM-2 rims and VEE TIRE City Cruz 42-622 tyres offer a good balance between durability and riding comfort. The hubs are by SHIMANO; the front hub features a hub dynamo with a 6-hole mount, whilst the rear hub also has a 6-hole mount and a quick-release mechanism.

The BULLS Sportive Ergo saddle and aluminium seatpost ensure an ergonomic riding position. The aluminium mudguards offer protection against dirt and water, whilst the rear stand, designed for flat-mount installation, makes it easier to park the bike. The BULLS Urban/Gravel luggage rack expands the bike’s carrying capacity.

The ‘Urban Cologne’ model from Bulls is available at a price of 1,199 EUR and offers excellent value for money for anyone looking for a reliable and well-equipped urban bike.
