How it compares
On travel, the Bulls Sharptail is right where the “cross-country hardtail” category usually is: 100 mm up front against a median of 100 mm from 46 bikes. Of Bulls’s mountain bikes, the Bulls Sharptail offers the least travel up front. The frame is made of aluminium.
At a minimum of 15.3 kg (3 build), the Bulls Sharptail is heavier than its category median of 10.0 kg – 5.3 kg more. The starting price of €1,399 (3) is roughly in line with the category median (€1,450). Every build uses a SR Suntour fork. Worth knowing for heavier riders: the maximum system weight is 125 kg – after about 16 kg of bike, that leaves around 109 kg including kit.
Setup notes for this spec
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the Bulls Sharptail
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Bulls specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
100 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 17 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 20 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 22 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 20 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.25″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: SCHWALBE Rocket Rick K-Guard.

Air pressure in the fork
The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
