Key Bulls model worlds
With Bulls, it's worthwhile to first get a general overview of the model range and only then delve into the technical details. Especially in the e-MTB sector, Bulls is now significantly more broadly positioned than with just a single motor platform.
Copperhead EVO AM
One of Bulls' most important model series in the sporty mid-range segment. Especially that Copperhead EVO AM2 It is particularly noticeable as an anniversary model.
Sonic EVO / Sonic EVO AM / Sonic EVO TR
The Sonic range is one of Bulls' most important e-MTB families. Depending on the model, it features Bosch, Brose and different chassis concepts clash.
Sonic SX
Particularly exciting as part of the lighter Bulls e-MTB world. A thorough system check is especially worthwhile here, because the abbreviation SX is often associated in the market with lighter Bosch platforms, while Bulls itself primarily markets the series as a highlight of its e-MTB range.
VUCA EVO
The technically striking Bulls platform with its Pinion gearbox. The current situation is this: exciting technology, but no tuning options available yet.
Copperhead EVO Hardtails
Especially with these Bulls hardtails, a clear distinction between the Bosch world and classic sensor setups is particularly important.
Older Bulls e-MTBs
Older Bulls Sonic, Copperhead, or SUV platforms can still clearly be found in older Bosch, Brose- or Shimano worlds. Accurate motor identification is particularly important here.
Practical rule for Bulls
Model names such as Copperhead EVO AM, Sonic EVO, Sonic SX or VUCA EVO They help with orientation, but do not replace a technical inspection. The most important thing always remains: Bosch, BroseShimano or Pinion? And only if Bosch is available, then it continues with BES2 or BES3 – and in BES3 additionally with Rim magnet, ABS and e-Shift.
Bulls Motor Worlds at a glance
Bulls currently operates four clearly distinct motor worlds side by side. This separation is crucial for selecting the right product:
Bosch
The most important and broadest Bulls world. Relevant distinction: BES2 or Bosch Smart System / BES3, to Rim magnet, ABS and e-Shift.
Brose
What makes Bulls particularly exciting is their connection with FIT and the optional Connected bike-Technology. This world must be read separately from Bosch.
Shimano
A separate platform with its own logic. Anyone riding a Bulls bike with Shimano components should never automatically assume it also uses Bosch products.
Pinion
A technically fascinating world of its own, particularly evident in Bulls' VUCA-EVO platform. Important for practical application: Currently no tuning solutions available.
Bulls Bosch system logic – how to avoid bad purchases
Anyone wanting to choose the right Bulls tuning should start with the system, not the product itself. This is precisely what prevents most wrong decisions.
- First, determine the motor world: Bosch, BroseShimano or Pinion?
- Only at Bosch: determine BES1, BES2 or BES3
- At the Smart System zusätzlich Rim magnet or classic sensor setup check
- ABS / ABS Pro check
- e-Shift check
- Only then should you select the appropriate software or hardware solution.
Erst Motorworld, then at Bosch BES2 or BES3, Dann Rim magnet, Dann ABS, Dann e-Shift.
Bulls with BES2 – classic Bosch world
If your Bulls is still in the classic Bosch world BES2 is in many cases the EBT Unlock Key the obvious main solution. This world encompasses many Bosch systems from Gen2, Gen3 and Gen4 before the Smart System.
Typical for BES2 are classic Bosch platforms without the eBike Flow app. Here, the focus is on simple activation, clear operation, and proven hardware alternatives. However, display discrepancies are often a technical limitation in this environment.
Bulls with BES3 / Bosch Smart System – the modern Bosch world
Does your Bulls work with the eBike Flow App, you are usually in the area Bosch Smart System / BES3. Here is the one EBTsmart Unlock Key the browser-based main solution.
The special feature: In Level 1 Speed, distance and mileage remain until 32 km/h correctDepending on the configuration, further unlocking options may also be available. This is often the most elegant solution, especially for modern Bulls-Bosch platforms.
Bulls with rim magnet
Especially with current Bulls-Bosch bikes, the question arises Wheel magnet: yes or no? very important. If not a classic spoke magnet is visible and the speed signal is instead in the range of rim, valve or integrated rear wheel assembly If it's detected, you're probably in the rim magnet world.
In this case, the EBTsmart Unlock Key The first software-based main solution. If an alternative start and sensor logic is deliberately desired, the following is added depending on the configuration: EBTsmart Unlock Key Switch into consideration.

Even though Bulls is heavily focused on trail and full-suspension bikes in the e-MTB sector, ABS, ABS-Pro or e-Shift These special cases are never overlooked in the Bosch segment. Whenever such cases arise, the product selection must be particularly meticulous.
- ABS / ABS Pro: with the EBTsmart Unlock Key, usually especially Level 1 up to 32 km/h relevant
- EBTsmart Unlock Key Switch: not generally intended for ABS configurations
- e-Shift: Always check this, because the switching logic and speed signal can be closely related.
Bulls with Brose – own system environment with FIT and Connected Bike
At Bulls Brose This is particularly exciting because not only the engine itself is important, but often also the FIT system and the optional Connected bike-world. That's precisely why... Brose Bulls should always be read as an independent platform.
