But apart from that, the riding performance of this bike is more reminiscent of a classic enduro bike than that of the competition. The RE+ stands out with the liveliest riding characteristics in the test field. The weight saving of around one kilo is clearly noticeable. Nevertheless, the bike with its top suspension can also handle really high speeds. Chassis, suspension, equipment - almost everything is perfect on the Dieburg bike. Rotwild loses points with the engine, which delivers slightly less power due to the system and feels a little out of round at low speeds. We also didn't like the XT brakes - here the pressure point wanders.
ConclusionElegant, integrated look, super riding characteristics - the Rotwild rides like a classic enduro bike.
