Rotwild: New C+ bikes and Enduro with Brose motor
Rotwild continues to expand its e-motorised collection: For 2017, an enduro bike with 160 millimetre suspension travel (R.E+SF), an all-mountain bike with 120 mm (R.C+ FS) and a hardtail (R.C+ HT) are rolling into the shops.

Rotwild is staying true to its line and is also relying on the Brose drive with its own system integration in its e-MTBs for the coming season. In future, some of the software settings can be customised, but initially only by the dealer.

R.C+ HT

The Rotwild developers shortened the chainstays on the hardtail by a further ten millimetres, which should make the manoeuvrability and cornering behaviour even more agile. The steering angle can be adjusted by 3° using the MHS-I headset, allowing the riding behaviour to be adjusted to personal preferences. The suspension fork offers 100 millimetres of travel and both 29 and 27.5-inch wheels fit into the Boost dropouts. Four equipment variants are available: starting at 3999 euros with the 29 Comp equipment. The top model "29 Evo" is priced at 6499 euros. The 27.5 inch Plus version with Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres in 2.8 inch width costs 4999 euros.

R.C+ FS

Rotwild wants to position the 120 millimetre all-mountain fully as a comfort tourer. Here too, the rear triangle has been tweaked and the chainstay length reduced by ten millimetres. The frame is fitted with a Fox Float DPS shock in the Performance version, while the top model "Evo" is fitted with the Factory version. To better equip the rear triangle for the high loads caused by the drivetrain, Rotwild uses better bearings. The mini control element for the e-drive hangs inconspicuously on the handlebars. There are three equipment variants to choose from: The "Comp" version costs 4999 euros (Pro 5999 euros and Evo 7499 euros).

R.E+ FS

With the E-Enduro, Rotwild abandons the usual discreet understatement colours. The R.E+ FS arrives in bright orange. It has 160 millimetre suspension in combination with 27.5 inch wheels. The suspension fork has 34 mm stanchions, which, together with the wide axles in the Boost standard, increases stiffness. The steering angle of this bike can also be adjusted and it has a chain guide and 1x11 cassette. Two equipment variants are planned for 6999 (Evo) and 5699 (Pro), they are offered in three sizes (M/L/XL).
