Expirience with the Bulls Black Adder RS

Ludwig Döhl Marathon rider Karl Platt worked shoulder to shoulder with the Black Adder RS to polish the brand's image, thanks to numerous racing successes. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Bulls, at 10,2 kg. Thus, the Bulls Black Adder RS is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 3599 Euro . The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The seating position is sporty. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face.
