No, we haven't made a mistake here: The Bulls Alpine Hawk Team with Dura-Ace Di2 equipment should actually be available for € 4,000; however, the distributor ZEG has not yet clearly stated when it will go on sale - they are talking about the beginning of June. Apart from the seatpost with no offset, which suits the geometry concept but only offers moderate comfort, and the not particularly ergonomic handlebars, we hardly noticed any points of criticism regarding the equipment. The independent frame is one of the lighter ones in the test field and allows a sporty to comfortable riding position. 160-millimetre brake discs with Freeza technology are standard, but were not yet available at the time of testing. The Bulls is also the team bike of the 2014 TOUR-Jedermann-Equipe.
