EUROBIKE 2015 | Spotted: Bulls E-Stream FS Enduro

EUROBIKE is huge, confronting you with masses of exhibition halls filled with even more masses of products – a description that could equally as well describe the E-MTB collection from BULLS. Passing by, we stumbled across an interesting, super well-specced, 160mm fully with Brose motor and a very pleasing price tag.

Das BULLS E-Stream FS Enduro – Brose-Antrieb und Top Ausstattung für 4.900 €.
The BULLS E-Stream FS Enduro – Brose motor and top spec for 4,900 €.

BULLS’s newest E-MTB range goes by the name Stream, and that’s where the FS Enduro can be found. The bike comes in just one build spec that outdoes its price of 4,900 €. The 160 mm of travel comes courtesy of RockShox with a PIKE RCT3 fork and Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock. The FS Stream’s 10 gears hail from Shimano XT and their fantastic Saint brakes provide prodigious braking power. The rest of the spec reads just as well, showing how BULLS have put it under serious consideration. There’s a Fizik saddle perched on a dropper RockShox Reverb Stealth seatpost and a cockpit comprised of FSA Gravity Light carbon bars with matching aluminium stem from the same line as well as comfortable Ergon GE1 grips. The Shimano/BULLS wheels roll on Schwalbe’s grippy Hans Dampf tyres.

Der Brose-Antrieb liefert klasse Performance und bietet dank seiner Kompaktheit unter anderem Platz für eine 2-fach-Kurbel. Das FS Enduro baut allerdings auf 1x10-fach und ersetzt den Umwerfer durch eine E*Thirteen-Kettenführung.
The Brose motor delivers an exceptional performance and thanks to its small size allows for 2x cranks. The FS Enduro does take a 1×10 drivetrain and has replaced the front derailleur for an E*Thirteen chain guide.
Die neue BULLS E-Stream Evo-Reihe verfügt ab 2016 über einen einfach herausnehmbaren Akku. Das FS Enduro ist allerdings noch nicht Teil dieser Serie und behält vorerst seinen verschraubten Akku.
The new BULLS E-Stream Evo range will feature a removable battery for 2016. The FS Enduro isn’t part of this line though, retaining its screwed-on battery for the moment.

… and the remote control. For 2016 Brose are launching a new computer that will get rid of the large mid-display. It’s still unfortunately undisclosed as to whether the FS Enduro will receive the new control system.

The Brose motor’s power comes from a 490 Wh battery, which is already familiar from its appearance on bike by other manufacturers including ROTWILD. New for 2016, the battery will be removable on the models in the new E-Stream Evo range. As the FS Enduro doesn’t belong to this range, its battery will still be screwed into place.
