The women's racer from Bulls is based on the relatively simple aluminium frame of the Falcon series, only the decor ultimately makes the model a women's bike. The geometry has not been changed compared to the standard model - it tends to offer a slightly race-orientated riding position. Foot clearance is quite tight due to the short front end of the frame. The highlight of the equipment is the complete Ultegra groupset with direct mount brakes. The bike is completed with solid, rather heavy wheels and voluminous top tyres from Schwalbe. Our tester found the FSA handlebars with flattened top bar to be very comfortable and the tightly padded men's saddle caused no problems. The decor and floral ornaments are a little too typical of women's bikes - but that is clearly a matter of taste.
