Four podium places at the eMTB News User Awards 2026

The community has decided: At this year's prestigious User Awards hosted by the online platform eMTB-News, the ROTWILD brand has once again placed among the leaders. Our products and services achieved top rankings in four important categories. This result is an enormous validation of our work, and we would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all users who voted for us. 

The editors of eMTB-News summarize: “ROTWILD confirms its strong position from last year and is once again consistently represented on the podium, including in the E-MTB of the Year, Most Innovative Product, Most Recommended Brand, and Customer Service categories.” The evaluation underscores ROTWILD's consistency: “The brand is once again represented on the podium in four categories in 2026 – without any upward or downward outliers, but with remarkable consistency.”

Most innovative product: The ROTWILD R.EX takes second place

The ROTWILD R.EX, unveiled in the summer and featuring the innovative DJI Avinox motor system, immediately impressed the community. In the “Most Innovative Product” category, the all-mountain bike secured second place with 15.7% of the votes. The editorial team praised this achievement with the words: “The ROTWILD R.EX 900 impresses with a successful blend of performance and all-round competence. Its well-thought-out geometry and choice of components make it a versatile e-MTB for enduro and trail fans. The ROTWILD brand's consistently strong performance at the User Award underlines its popularity within the community.”

Technical innovation and distinctive feature of the R.EX: the Elevated Box Design with the chainstay pulled up sharply. And the main pivot point pushed slightly forward and upward. This positioning results in optimized anti-rise and anti-squat values with a noticeable result: a very active, stable 150 mm suspension system.

E-MTB of the Year: Another top ranking for the R.EX 

The versatility and performance of the R.EX were also recognized in the main category. In the “E-MTB of the Year” vote, the bike received 14.6% of the votes and also came in second place. The experts at eMTB-News explained their decision as follows: “The ROTWILD R.EX 900 impresses with its successful balance of enduro agility and trail comfort. Its performance is just as impressive on demanding trails as it is in everyday use. A bestseller candidate with a strong fan base.”

With a focus on thoughtful details and genuine trail utility, the R.EX sets the standard for e-mountain bike development in 2026. This is how the jury ranked the winner of this year's Design & Innovation Award, and now it's time for the users to vote, who chose the R.EX as their second favorite.

Most recommended brand: Community trust in third place 

The most personal accolade is probably the praise of those who, as riders, can provide well-founded information about their bikes. In the “Most Recommended Brand” category, ROTWILD took third place with 7.3% of the votes. The editorial team says: “The German bicycle brand ROTWILD combines premium construction with a well-thought-out riding experience and strong components. In 2026, the brand is once again consistently on the podium in several categories.” The fact that riders recommend our brand is the greatest compliment for us. For this, we say: Thank you.

Our passion is not only for our bikes, but above all for our customers. This is exactly where our service team comes in: Together with our specialist retail partners, we work tirelessly to get every ROTWILD back into top shape as quickly as possible when needed.

Customer service: Second place as motivation 

Because our aspirations go beyond the product itself, the long-term satisfaction of our customers is our top priority. Together with our dedicated specialist retail partners, our service team works hard every day to deliver on this promise. The results of the User Awards show that these efforts are being noticed: in the “Customer Service” category, 6.2% of participants voted for us, helping us to achieve second place. The editorial team notes: "ROTWILD scores highly with its personal and dedicated service, which inspires many riders. A service that builds trust and fosters long-term loyalty within the community." We would also like to express our special thanks to our specialist retailers, who, as direct partners on the ground, make an indispensable contribution to this success. 

We see the four rankings as a strong signal from the community. You confirm our approach to development, product quality, and customer service. We are extremely proud of this result and would like to thank you for your support and trust.
