How it compares
On travel, the Bulls Wild Creed is right where the “enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 41 bikes. The rear offers 160 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Among Bulls’s mountain bikes, the Bulls Wild Creed is the model with the most fork travel. The frame is made of carbon.
At 15.4 kg (Team build), the weight is close to the category median of 15.7 kg. Prices for the Bulls Wild Creed start at €3,999 (Wild Creed), below the category median of €4,750. The top build, Team, costs €5,499. Bulls uses RockShox suspension throughout. In total, 2 different forks are used, from the RockShox ZEB to the RockShox ZEB Ultimate. The Team build uses a coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure. Worth knowing for heavier riders: the maximum system weight is 115 kg – after about 16 kg of bike, that leaves around 99 kg including kit.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox ZEB): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
- Shock (RockShox Super Deluxe Select): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
Target SAG for the Bulls Wild Creed
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Bulls specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
170 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ 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 Magic Marry Super/ Big Betty Super gravity soft.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |

Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
