Description
For years, many have been waiting for a step-thru frame mtn. bike that is up to the task of technical single track riding. Bulls has finally answered the call with the Copperhead EVO HD Wave. This bike gets a resounding two thumbs up for pulling off what seemed technically impossible not that long ago.
The HD Wave sports the Bosch Gen4 Performance CX motor and Powertube 625 battery system for serious power delivery. Matched with that are Magura hydraulic disc brakes – 4 piston up front and 2 piston out back – and big 203mm rotors. A solid Suntour 120mm air suspension fork handles the trail nicely. Shimano Deore 10 speeds, a dropper seat post, Schwalbe Smart Sam tires, and Monkeylink lighting system compatibility round out the main offerings of the bike.
I expected, at the very least, a bit of frame flex but, in fact, the HD Wave is rock solid. It really is rough trail riding ready. It’s a fabulous feeling bike with ample power and lightning quick shifting and braking. Bulls also boasts a maximum payload capacity of 330 lbs., so this bike is made for working it, big time. If you want a 1st class emtn. bike and you must have a very low step- thru frame option, the Bulls Copperhead EVO HD Wave is undoubtedly the bike for you.
