The Bullet Trials 500 is sold as a scrambler style bike with off road ability, with knobbly tires, raised bars and a high pipe. But some riders point out that its weight and lack of modern suspension make it more a light trails bike than an off roader. Some have even questioned if the bike isn't just a design project, given its vintage inspired design and limited production run. There are plenty of enthusiasts debating whether the Trials 500 finds the right balance of retro charm and practical off road ability – or whether it's a bike that's really only designed to attract urban riders, who want a hefty looking bike that they can occasionally ride off road at weekends.
