Santa Cruz Bullit

Remember Steve McQueen in the movie "Bullitt"?  The steely eyed man of action, working outside the law, getting massively sideways all over San Francisco? Nobody got in his way.
Hence part of the inspiration for our Bullit.  This year it's back, bigger and badder than before.  Taking advantage of our new stronger, 6066 aluminum tubing, we've created a magnum caliber Bullit for 2002.  Featuring a heavier duty downtube, a lower suspension pivot for more neutral pedaling, and a beefed up swingarm and cross brace, the Bullit now sports 7 inches of rear wheel travel.  That travel is handled by the stellar new Progressive Susepnsion 5th Element shock absorber, which could prove to be the benchmark shock by which others will be judged.  The burly frame and longer travel rear end have also brought about two other changes: the Bullit can now run a 7 inch travel fork, and comes set up to handle an 8 inch diameter rear disc rotor.  Since all that travel might, just maybe, generate a whole mess of extra downhill speed, we thought these would be a couple nice touches to keep you out of emergency rooms.
