Rotwild R.G375 2024

The Rotwild R.G375 was the German brand's gravity flagship, sitting in the Action category of its 2024 range as its interpretation of a modern bike-park, freeride and downhill eMTB. It paired a handmade high-modulus full carbon frame (with carbon linkage and shock yoke) with 180mm of FOX 38 fork travel and 177mm out back from a FOX Float X2, on full 29in wheels with Schwalbe Magic Mary and Big Betty rubber.Geometry was deliberately aggressive for the era: a 63 degree head angle, 475mm reach in size L and a wheelbase past 1300mm in L and XL made it one of the longer, slacker eMTBs around. The seat angle sat at 76 degrees with a 460mm chainstay across all three sizes (M, L, XL).Unusually for a 180mm gravity machine, it used Shimano's lightweight EP8 motor (up to 85 Nm) fed by Rotwild's own 375Wh IPU375 carbon-housed battery, which weighs about 1.9kg and pops out in seconds via Quick Release so a second pack can double range. The single PRO build ran a Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, Magura MT5 HC-W brakes on 220/203mm rotors, Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro wheels and an Eightpins integrated dropper, listed at 9,499 euro.The R.G375 has since been discontinued, with Rotwild's later range moving its gravity and enduro focus onto newer EP801-based platforms.

Geometry read

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

Descending

Slack 63° head angle, 177mm travel and a long 1306mm wheelbase — composed in the chunk, confident when it gets steep, and stable through fast corners.

Playfulness

More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.

Size balance

Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.84) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.

Technical climbing

Climbs well — a 76° seat keeps the front planted. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toFast, steep, rough tracks — and riders who want maximum composure.

Rewards commitment; it should feel calmer as the speed rises.

Watch out forNot a flickable, playful bike — built to plough, not pop.

Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
