There's a whole spectrum of offroad surfaces out there. Better define exactly what you mean by "Mtn bike trails" to get useful answers about that bike. Narrow single track, rock gardens, lots of roots, loose dirt or rock, mud, deep ruts, very steep pitches, jumps?
You raise a great point. I'm not even sure what I really meant! I was thinking ALL of the above I guess. But realistically just narrow trails, some roots and rock gardens and occasional steep pitches. I suppose that may still be too broad of a selection. Just looking at the bike it seems like overkill for city commutes or even touring on light gravel trails, but at the same time maybe a problem on narrow trails or a single track because of its size and weight. Any ideas? And thanks for your help.
yeah, the rack and fenders don't fit the mode of a downhill shredder, I suppose they could be taken off.
Sounds like you want your first e-MTB to get you to mid-level single-track riding. Could be a reasonable goal. Others can tell you if the Bulls you're looking at is really up to that task.
