EMTB Forums verdict
The Rotwild R.G375 is the German marque's gravity eMTB, a full carbon bike park and freeride machine built around 180 mm of Fox 38 fork travel and 177 mm at the rear. The geometry is properly aggressive for the segment: a 63 degree head angle, 76 degree seat angle and a long 1306 mm wheelbase in size L, paired with consistent 460 mm chainstays across all three sizes (M, L, XL).
Where it diverges from rivals is the powertrain philosophy. Rather than chase headline range, Rotwild fits its compact handmade carbon IPU375 pack, rated at 360 Wh, behind a full-power Shimano EP8 motor making 85 Nm. The Quick Release battery swaps in seconds and an optional second pack doubles riding time, so the bike trades fixed capacity for lightness and modularity.
Offered only in a single PRO build, the spec is gravity-focused throughout: Fox 38 Performance Elite and Float X2 Performance damping, Magura MT5 four-piston brakes on 220 mm and 203 mm rotors, Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro wheels, e*thirteen finishing kit and Shimano XT 12-speed shifting, with Schwalbe Magic Mary and Big Betty tyres. At 9,499 euro it sits at the premium end of the gravity eMTB market.
This is a discontinued model and Rotwild does not operate a UK storefront, so it was sold in euro rather than sterling. No owner-reliability data is available here.

What the numbers mean on the trail
Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.
Size
Playfulness
2
More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.
Size balance
87
Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.84) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.
Technical climbing
64
Climbs well — a 76° seat keeps the front planted. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
Rewards commitment; it should feel calmer as the speed rises.
Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
