2022 Santa Cruz Bullit 3 CC MX R kit

The best of both worlds: the 2022 Santa Cruz Bullit CC MX R kit pedal assist full suspension mountain bike is capable of crushing the heaviest of descents and climbing back for another round - or two.

The 2002 Santa Cruz Bullit CC MX R Kit mountain bike has 170mm travel to eat of the downhill while the powerful Shimano motor and battery provide just enough pedal assist to help you skip the lift lines and shuttle vans.

The Bullit is an electric mountain bike designed for tackling the steepest and deepest of trails in both directions. Imagine the kinds of rooty, rocky, horror fests usually reserved for our biggest hitting bikes like the Nomad and Megatower. Then imagine what lies beyond that.

Where the Heckler's priority is agility and playful handling, the Bullit takes a more no limits approach. 170mm travel, a 38mm fork and DoubleDown tires reflect the smashability of this platform. This is a bike for riders who seek V10 level terrain that's out of range of any chairlift or shuttle road.

It was actually the Santa Cruz Syndicate team's success on their mixed wheel DH race bikes that made us consider the same format for the Bullit. We learned from them that mixed wheels provide the confidence at speed of a 29er with the more spritely handling characteristics and maneuverability of a 27.5-inch rear wheel. And for an e-bike, it also means we can dictate exactly how long (or short) we want to make the chainstays to balance climbing traction and handling. The added butt clearance on super steep stuff is just another bonus.
