Versatility is at the top of the list for Rotwild's latest all-mountain concept. The R.X1 FS can not only be ridden with conventional 27.5 inch wheels, but also offers space for tyres in the new Plus format thanks to adjustable dropouts. There is also an e-version of the new all-mountain bike with a Brose motor and battery integrated in the down tube.
The key data of the Rotwild R.X1 FS
With 150 millimetres at the front and 145 millimetres at the rear, the new All Mountain is aimed at real trail enthusiasts and offers reserves when the going gets sportier downhill. With four models between 3499 and 6999 euros and four frame heights, the R.X1 FS has a very broad range. At its heart is a hydroformed aluminium frame with integrated cables and durable full ball bearings. For greater rigidity, the bearings on the Horst Link have a double-row design. Another new feature is the option to influence the steering angle by +/- 1.5 degrees using customised headsets.
The geometry of the R.X1
In terms of geometry, the R.X1 with a neutral headset has a steering angle of a smooth 67 degrees. The short chainstay length for 27.5 inch wheels is 423 millimetres. This gives the bike agile handling. If you like it longer or want to ride plus-size tyres, you can adjust the variable dropouts and extend the chainstay to 435 millimetres.
