As far as frame weight, travel, cost, etc. As an all-around bike that can be jumped and ridden XC (w/platform shock), what compares? VP Free or Yeti ASX maybe? What else? scott

The AS-X seems to have been made to directly compete with the Bullit. If you're concerned with cost, that eliminates the VP-Free.

The New Iron Horse Yakuza FS bikes are similar
Weyless 67 or whatever it is/was called
Ventana El Chamuco (sort of in between a Bullit and a Heckler)
Orange Patriot or something or other

Those are what come to mind off the top of my head.

get a VP-Free, it wont only match the bullit, it will fly by and laugh at it.....

this is comming from an ex-bullit owner and now a very happy VP-Free convert...

get the VPF.....

I wouldn't put an Ells Id in that mix...They aren't nearly as beefy as a Bullit, can't handle a DC, etc.

Weyless 67s are cheap and built out of RAD tubing, I'd look at one of them if you're looking to spend as little cash as possible.

Otherwise, a VP-Free is sex.
