The battery for the Shimano EP8 motor can easily be removed from the downtube for charging or transport with a partial turn of a 4mm hex key, but I'd imagine most riders will take advantage of the charging port located on the non-drive side of the frame. The 630 Wh battery is stored in the downtube, and easily removed with one hex key. ![]() Itching to run a dual crown fork on your e-bike?

The derailleur and brake housing are also internally routed, and are zip tied to the side of the down tube to keep things quiet. The wire from the display to the motor has its own port in the head tube, although I wish the wire itself had a thicker casing, just in case it got snagged on a branch or other grabby trailside foliage. Santa Cruz uses their Di2 carbon handlebars to give the Bullit a clean cockpit – the E-tube wire from the mode selector to the display runs inside the handlebar.

The Bullit has the now-familiar Santa Cruz silhouette, albeit with an oversized downtube to house the battery.
