How it compares
On travel, the Bulls Wild Ronin is right where the “trail bike” category usually is: 140 mm up front against a median of 140 mm from 44 bikes. Front and rear both work with 140 mm of travel. On travel, it slots in between the Bulls Wild Edge and the Bulls Wild Creed in the Bulls range. The frame is made of carbon.
The Bulls Wild Ronin does well on weight: 12.9 kg for the Team build is 1.0 kg below the median of comparable bikes (13.9 kg). Within the range, weight varies by 2.0 kg. The Bulls Wild Ronin is not a budget bike: even the 1 build costs €3,499, while the category median is €3,000. The top build, Team, costs €6,999. For suspension, Bulls combines components from RockShox and SR Suntour. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox PSYLO Gold RC to the RockShox Pike Ultimate RCT3. Bulls specifies a maximum system weight of 125 kg. Subtracting roughly 15 kg for the bike leaves about 110 kg for rider, clothing, backpack and luggage.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox PSYLO Gold RC): 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.
- Shock (SR Suntour Edge EVO 2CR): 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 Ronin
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Bulls gives its own target SAG, use that.
140 mm fork (1)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm |
140 mm fork, 50.0 mm shock stroke (2, Team)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm | 24 % = 12.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm | 28 % = 14.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm | 30 % = 15.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm | 27 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: SCHWALBE NOBBY NIC EVO, Folding; SCHWALBE NOBBY NIC Perf, Folding; SCHWALBE Nobby Nic Super Ground TLE.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
