The €1,000 racer from the ZEG brand Bulls has a smart paint finish and a tidy look. With internally routed cables and direct mount brakes under the bottom bracket, the cleanly finished frame has a modern and high-quality look. Technically, the frameset has hardly any weaknesses, the equipment with a complete 105 groupset and Shimano wheels is above average for the class. On the road, the racer impresses with its comparatively relaxed riding position and smooth ride. The triple drivetrain, the comfortable handlebars with a large contact surface on the top bar and little drop as well as the 25-millimetre Schwalbe tyres are key; however, we would swap the heavy clincher tyres for higher-quality models. The fitted lightweight tyres would also fit better.
