For the 6/2020 issue of EMTB, we set out in search of the ultimate all-round eMTB. Although the Rotwild didn't emerge as the winner of our 2021 test field, it impressed our test crew with its low weight and enormous range.
Carbon fibres, a carbon rocker arm and a carbon housing for the battery: this is how the Dieburg-based company keeps the weight below 22 kilos. And that despite the maximum battery capacity of 750 watt hours. The other candidates in our E-MTB test can hardly keep up. The geometry is sporty and modern, as is the riding position. However, the set-back saddle means you pedal a little from behind. The handling of the bike is very balanced, fun and agile. The lightweight wheels, the low overall weight and the successful geometry contribute to this. Both ambitious riders and more leisurely riders will have a lot of fun on trails and descents. Find out how the bike performs uphill and downhill in our test video. The answer to the question of where the Rotwild bike in the ranking of the top all-rounders in the current issue of EMTB 6/20!
All results of the comparative test
Which bike offers the best compromise for all areas of use? And which one stands out as a comfortable tourer or a fun trail rocket? We tested the bikes in direct comparison on a variety of trails and tours. In addition, each candidate underwent an extensive laboratory procedure. Who excels when it comes to range? And who has the centre of gravity and weight best under control? The entire test with all results, data and details can be found in EMTB 6/2020. You can also download the complete comparison test of the 2021 super all-rounders as a PDF below the article. The test costs 2.99 euros.
