Hi,

recently I was in search of an allround CX Bike. But the availability and actual ridings weren't always good or as I had in mind.
I prefer buying a bike local instead of online, "if" in need of warranty there would be less hassle.
The rides themselves, I discovered that most CX bikes handles pretty well but riding on it for longer than 2hours, they are not exactly my cup of tea.
I prefer a more upright position, longer headtube geometry.

So, I discovered and tested a Bulls Grinder 2 bike.
The name Grinder convinced me that it actually would do as a grinder bike. So it might be perfect for allround.
I took it over asphalt, sand and mud, cobblestone and some "rooted" MTB singletracks... And the bike handled pretty well.
Except for the roots, which where doable on a slower pace and jumping here and there, the bike was pretty comfy.

He has got moutingpoints for fenders, a nice ultegra gearing and 105/ultegra Hydraulic brakes. Geometry seems good for longer distance riding.

My question: other people here with some experience with the Bulls Grinder 2?

I'm also very interested in this bike. Thru axles, hydro brakes, ultegra for that price is crazy. Would love to know more about it.

Curious how tall are you, what is your inseam and what size frame did you try? How was the geometry?

That looks like a nice bike according to the specs.
