Convincing handling and abnormally fast

Lightweight, with top handling and enormous downhill capacities, so the magazine MountainBIKE sums up the test report on the R.G375 PRO. For its special issue 01-2022, the magazine had taken the youngest member of the ROTWILD Aggressive Series under the magnifying glass and on the trails.

High-quality frame, clever details

Faster, higher, further, the design of the R.G375 PRO for Gravity area is clear: whether in the bike park, freeriding or downhill riding, the light E-MTB with full suspension travel and progressive geometry is designed for designed for use in rough terrain. As the concept for a plus in adrenaline kick on the part of the ROTWILD engineers, also impressed the testers. the testers: an "extremely high quality carbon frame", plus many features from the Aggressive Series, such as the Shimano EP8 motor or the the "super-light 375 Wh battery, which can be removed via a cleverly designed push button can be removed".


Handmade for high loads: the full carbon frame is made of high modulus fibers with an optimized structure of the individual carbon layers.

Special feature of the Shimano drive

The Shimano drive offers two customizable profiles that can be set via the display or the Shimano app. can be set. In the test, the magazine set the full 85 Nm of torque and thus noted 944 meters of altitude reached.

Strong support is provided by the Shimano EP8 motor. Its compact design fits perfectly into the frame construction. With 85 Nm, it provides plenty of torque, which develops harmoniously.

Top chassis, agile and nimble

But how does the bike handle when it is really challenged? is challenged? The testers are impressed and noted in the test letter: "On the trails one notices immediately that the R.G375 is designed for enormous power in the downhill. Smoothly, safely and 'abartig fast' it goes to day, while it is thanks to the low weight of 21 kilos still more than sufficiently maneuverable and agile - despite the despite the very long chainstay.“

The rear triangle with 177 mm suspension travel the ROTWILD engineers have optimized for the use of air shocks. Double-row full ball bearings in the linkage, which is also made of carbon, ensure the smooth running of the rear triangle and increase the stability and durability.

Trail fun guarantee despite ample suspension travel 

Even away from R.G375 raises the adrenaline level and offers plenty of fun. a lot of riding fun, because "even on flow trails in the low mountain range convinced us the Handling," says the MountainBIKE. Provided you like flat steering angles.

With enormous potential in downhill: the R.G375 PRO has a progressive geometry with a flat steering angle, long reach and steep seat angle to support a highly dynamic riding style and provide a lot of safety at high speeds.

Not for everyone

Test rider Thomas Schmitt sums up his impression like this: "The ROTWILD R.G375 is with extreme Enduro geometry and potent chassis ideal for rough terrain, but also a bike for a small target group". 

The test appeared in the special issue E-MTB 01-2022 of the magazine MountainBIKE, meanwhile also online to read up.
