A two-year absence can imply many things. A round-the-world sailing trip, half a college education somewhere far from home, going to jail for tax evasion - two years can change you, man...
In the case of the Bullit, it was like a two-year stint in charm school. The bike is still big and brawny, built for tall drops and hard landings - with 180mm of rear wheel travel, a heavy duty 6069 aluminum frame with a stout 20mm pivot axle, a choice of either 135mm q.r or 150mm thru axle dropouts, 203mm brake rotor clearance, an optional floating brake kit and a 1.5" steerer tube - but she's come back with some very refined manners and a curvy new set of tubes. Charm school? Sure, but one that teaches judo too.
