Bulls Daily Grinder 3: Everyday racing bike with a modernized frame

4 December 2025 by Caspar Gebel

Bulls Daily Grinder 3: Bulls transforms the gravel bike into a randonneur. This new all-round model features modern frame details and solid components, and its price is competitively calculated. The Daily Grinder 3 is complemented by two more affordable versions.

Following in the tradition of the everyday and touring road bike – the "randonneur" – the Cologne-based brand sees the 2026 redesign of its Grinder gravel bike, now in its eleventh model year. For Bulls, "Daily" means "fully equipped," including lights, a rear rack, fenders, and a kickstand. The fenders accommodate 45 mm wide tires; the kickstand is now mounted in the center of the chainstay, whereas on older models it was attached together with the rear brake caliper – a significant improvement, as the kickstand was prone to loosening.

New frame set with modern mounting standards

The Daily Grinder's frame has undergone significant changes: at first glance, the internally routed cables from the cockpit are noticeable; a closer look reveals thru-axles front and rear, as well as a modern UDH rear dropout. Typical of Bulls are the numerous mounting options – for example, there are four threaded holes under the top tube, designed for a special bungee cord to secure a jacket or similar item. Racks can also be attached to the carbon fork.

A typical Bulls feature is the smartphone adapter on the stem.

BULLS Daily Grinder 3 with attractive pricing

At €1.799, the new Bulls Daily Grinder 3 is priced roughly on par with similarly designed models from competitors. For that price, it comes equipped with a Shimano GRX 1x12 drivetrain, featuring the typical mix of a GRX-RX822 rear derailleur, RX610 shifters and crankset, and 400mm brake calipers. The tires are from Schwalbe, and the headlight is nice and bright; typical of the brand, there's an adapter on the stem cap to which a smartphone can be attached using a special case.

Bulls offers the new Daily Grinder 3 in four frame sizes and three colors. There are also two more affordable versions based on a simpler frame: The Bulls Daily Grinder 2 (€1.599) features a ten-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and a less bright front light; the Daily Grinder 1 (€1.399) uses mechanical brakes. All three models are already available or will be available soon.
