New 2007 Santa Cruz Bullit Released

available spring 2007

Resurrection Time!

The Bullit is Back! Bigger, bolder, badder and better than ever before, the new and freshly evolved Bullit marks another chapter of Santa Cruz's single pivot revival.

Available Spring 2007

After taking a couple years off, this all-duty workhorse returns to the lineup ready to tackle anything and everything, smoothing out trail rides and sucking up downhill punishment with sweet handling, low maintenance simplicity.

20mm Swingarm Pivots = Stiff!

Custom drawn double-butted aluminum tubes form the completely redesigned front triangle, while a new and vastly stiffened swingarm pivots on a massive 20mm axle riding in oversize bearings (oversize bearings that come with a lifetime guarantee, no less).

Lifetime Bearing Warranty

There's over 7-inches of rear wheel travel, it'll fit 8-inch brake rotors in the back, and the stout 1.5" headtube and gusseted top and down tubes allow you to put whatever the hell kind of fork you want up front.

New Gussets and a burly 1.5" headtube

Combine that with the ability to run either standard, q.r friendly,135mm rear dropouts, or 150mm thru-axle dropouts, as well as an optional floating rear brake kit, and the Bullit is equipped to handle any kind of terrain imaginable.

Choose your target, and squeeze the trigger...

  • Huge 20mm swingarm pivot
  • Lifetime pivot bearing guarantee
  • 135 q.r OR 150mm thru-axle rear dropouts
  • Optional 150mm axle fully floating rear brake kit
  • 178mm rear wheel travel
  • 1.5" headtube
  • Wrench friendly! All frame parts can be disassembled (and assembled) with four readily available allen wrenches, and the swingarm bearing cups use a Shimano external BB tool.
  • Hard anodized 7075 aluminum hardware
  • Available in either powdercoat or anodized finishes
  • Multiple cable routing options (either full housings or split housings, take your pick)
  • Build it up anywhere between 32 and 44 pounds, climb it like a long travel trail bike, kill it like a freeride bike. It's even built to be bar-spin friendly...
