| Safety | UL 2849* |
| Safety certification | UL 2849: most models, confirm this one |
| As the maker states it | UL 2849: Yes, the Bullit is certified to the UL 2849 requirements (same wording on the Vala page; the Heckler SL page states no certification) |
| Warranty terms | Lifetime frame warranty for the original owner; paint and decals three years; lifetime bearing replacement (brand policy) |
Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Santa Cruz states: “UL 2849: Yes, the Bullit is certified to the UL 2849 requirements (same wording on the Vala page; the Heckler SL page states no certification)” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
