<\/p>\nGerman e-bike specialist Rotwild has released not one, but two new electric bicycles for those who can\u2019t resist the call of adventure. These two new e-MTBs are filled to the brim with impressive technology, and promise intuitive performance and all-around versatility. Showcased at Eurobike 2023, these two models command quite a premium, so let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first model is the Rotwild R.X1000, and it\u2019s marketed as an \u201call-mountain powerhouse.\u201d The bike gets a carbon-fiber frame that uses the R.X750 as a springboard. It is, however, extensively enhanced to provide improved off-road performance. Speaking of performance, the R.X1000 makes use of top-tier MTB components such as Fox 36 Float front suspension with 150 millimeters of travel. The bike also makes use of Magura MT5 disc brakes, and rolls on a mullet-wheel setup with a 29-inch front and 27.5 rear wheel. The tires are a combo of Schwalbe Magic Mary and Schwalbe Hans Dampf on the front and back, respectively.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the Rotwild R.X1000 is the Pinion Motor-Gearbox Unit (MGU) which houses the motor and transmission in a single housing. This eliminates the need for a standard drivetrain, thereby providing potential weight savings and a more durable build. In the case of the R.X1000, it\u2019s powered by the MGU E1.12, which offers a 12-speed electronic drivetrain, and produces 600 watts and 85 Newton-meters of torque. The motor is housed in a magnesium casing that protects its internals while keeping this lightweight. As for the battery, it\u2019s an IPU1000 Ultracore unit with a 960 watt hours.<\/p>\n

Up next, the R.C1000 is an all-rounder electric mountain bike with long-distance riding in mind. It shares a lot in common with the R.X1000, such as the carbon fiber frame, the Pinion MGU drive, and even the IPU1000 Ultracore battery. It does, however, ditch the mullet setup for a pair of 29er wheels for better long distance capabilities. Furthermore, Rotwild has tailored the R.C1000 for everyday use with mudguards and removable racks.<\/p>\n

The Rotwild R.C1000 is also underpinned by different suspension hardware. Up front, it gets a DT Swiss F535 suspension fork with 140 millimeters of travel. TRP C2.3 hydraulic disc brakes ensure that the bike comes to a confident stop, regardless of how much load you\u2019re carrying. Last but not least, the R.C1000 gets a Supernova M99 Mini Pro high beam lamp and a TL3 Pro LED tail light as standard, for optimal nighttime visibility.<\/p>\n

When it comes to pricing and availability, Rotwild\u2019s products were never budget-friendly options, and the same is true with the new R.X1000 and R.C1000. The R.X1000 Pro carries a price tag of 9,999 euros, or about $10,954 USD, while the top-of-the-line R.X1000 Ultra will set you back 11,999 euros, or the equivalent of $13,145 USD. Meanwhile, thetouring focused R.C1000 comes in just one Tour model, and carries a price tag of 9,999 euros, or around $10,954 USD.<\/p>\n
