At a time when attached batteries and clumsy flange-mounted motors were the norm on e-bikes, Rotwild was already setting standards in terms of integration. The Dieburg-based company was one of the first to pave the way for sleek and stylish e-MTBs. Now that motors are becoming ever more powerful and batteries ever larger, the 2020 Rotwild fleet is once again inspiring with its forward-looking design and smart technology.
After we were able to exclusively test and present a prototype of the All Mountain R.X750 in early summer, the entire range is now ready for series production. In addition to the two high-travel fullys R.E750 (Enduro, 170 millimetres of travel) and R.X750 (All Mountain, 150 millimetres of travel), the sportier 29-inch Rotwild R.C750 shines with some special features.
With 140 millimetres less suspension travel, 29er wheels at the front and rear instead of a wheel mix, longer chainstays: The all-rounder is designed to climb more sportily and at the same time exude a smoother ride. In addition, the top model uses the elegant and rare DT Swiss suspension, which should harmonise particularly well with e-mountainbikes.
