The Brose motor is just one component here; the battery technology, software and integration come from the company itself. It has to be said that the R.E+ is not just one of the most aesthetically pleasing E-MTBs. With its thoroughbred enduro geometry, top-notch suspension and high-quality components, it is right at the front in the practical test. However, with its long front end, it is designed more for speed than manoeuvrability. However, the classic criticisms of Rotwild - the somewhat weaker Brose motor and the non-removable battery - cannot be ignored. However, the new model with a removable battery and the new Brose motor is already in the starting blocks.
ConclusionConsistently styled noble enduro with top riding performance.
