Crusaders centre Robbie Fruean had a nightmare opening 20 minutes, featuring in a succession of handling errors and sloppy passes.
But with frustration mounting, and only an early Dan Carter penalty on the board, the Crusaders finally started to hang onto the ball and build phases.
Inevitably, it was Fruean who sliced through the Bulls' backline to dot down, Carter's conversion giving the Crusaders a 10-3 lead after 24 minutes.
Six minutes later, skipper Kieran Read was driven over after the Crusaders again showed patience, recycling possession efficiently and stretching the well-organised Bulls defence to the limit.
The boot of Springboks No.10 Morne Steyn kept the Bulls in touch at 15-9, but winger Johnny McNicholl finished clinically right on the stroke of halftime after the Crusaders were unrelenting over 17 phases.
Ahead 22-9 at the break, and despite another Steyn penalty soon after the restart, winger Tom Marshall notched up the bonus-point try on 45 minutes as the Crusaders mounted another telling counterattack from a turnover on halfway.

The home team dictated terms from then on, dominating possession and territory, and keeping the Bulls pinned down on defence.
Loosehead prop Wyatt Crockett added the Crusaders' fifth try with 20 minutes remaining, finishing off another searing run from Marshall.
The Bulls replied through blindside flanker Deon Stegmann after a trademark drive from an attacking lineout but replacement halfback Willi Heinz danced over for the Crusaders' sixth just two minutes before the final whistle.
