Equipped with the powerful Shimano Steps E8000 drive unit and frame integrated TwinCore technology, the Bulls E-CORE EVO TR2 27.5+ packs a punch and has the stamina to back it up. The 375Wh TwinCore battery is integrated into the downtube, and is removable from the side. The option is there to add a second 375Wh battery to give you a massive 750Wh, enough for the longest and toughest of excursions.
With full suspension and equipped with a particularly manoeuvrable frame geometry, the E-CORE EVO TR 2 27.5+ becomes an E-MTB for almost all off-road uses. Shimano Deore 10-speed gears provide precise and reliable shifting in all conditions. Magura MT5 front and MT4 rear hydraulic disc brakes are matched for excellent stopping power and modulation. Combined with extra wide, anti-skid Schwalbe Nobby Nic 27.5+ tyres, a versatile off-road all-rounder is created that covers all variations of mountain biking from trips to trails.

Shimano Steps E8000
The high-power Shimano Steps E8000 motor delivers a smooth 70Nm of torque capable of taking you to the top of almost anything. There are three assistance modes: Eco, Trail and Boost, with the latter providing 300% assistance. The E8000 system also has a walk assist function to help manage the bike when you’re pushing not riding!
▶ Small is beautiful
The Shimano drive unit’s small form factor enables BULLS designers to incorporate shorter chainstays, this allows E8000 equipped bikes to benefit from the decades of frame geometry development that has gone into manual MTBs. Additionally, the very narrow width of the E8000 allows the retention of manual MTB’s narrow pedal position, resulting in a natural and efficient pedal stroke. Combining these features ensures a perfectly balanced riding position that other manufacturers can only dream of.
▶ Weight the enemy
At 2.8kg, the STEPS drive unit is a full kilo lighter than the Bosch drive system. While the Bosch unit uses a small drive sprocket that’s geared up from the crank (more moving parts = more mechanical losses), the Shimano is direct-drive, enabling use of 34T or 38T chainrings. The image shows rearward location of the hollowtech shaft and short chainstays.
▶Tune and Update with Bluetooth
Using the Shimano E-tube app on your PC, tablet or smartphone, you can adjust the preset power modes on your E8000 powered e-bike to create personalized assistance levels on the fly with Bluetooth connection. No cables necessary!
