Rotwild R.EX ULTRA Review

Shimano has become the biggest component manufacturer for bicycles thanks to its gear, pedal and brake components. It's clear that the Japanese want to shape the E-Bike trend from this dominant market position. Steep ramps are no problem for the Shimano motor. Additionally, the Shimano EP81 stands out with a well-rounded riding feeling and a gentle power delivery. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the R.EX ULTRA due to ist excellent range.

The highend Fox chassis absorbs big hits like Chuck Norris and provides a lot of traction and control. With its four pistons and larger brake rotors the Shimano braking system decelerates outstandingly. This allows you to maintain control over your own pace even in the steepest descents. The narrow #reifen_inch_breite Schwalbe tires do not do this Trailbikes range of use any justice. In our opinion, Rotwild has saved weight in the wrong place here. The shifting and the rest of the components are always in the shadow of the engine when it comes to electric mountain bikes. Nevertheless, Rotwild doesn't skimp here and instals very good components. The relatively high reach value in the geometry table is compensated by Rotwild with a relatively short stem. Thus, the long main frame remains maneuverable in the terrain. On the scale, the R.EX ULTRA makes a good figure with 21,4 kg. Most Trailbikes are significantly heavier.
