How it compares
On travel, the Rotwild R.E735 is right where the “e-enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 56 bikes. The fork has 22 mm more travel than the rear end with 148 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. On travel, it slots in between the Rotwild R.EXC and the Rotwild R.G375 in the Rotwild range. Rotwild builds the frame from carbon.
The Rotwild R.E735 does well on weight: 22.2 kg for the CORE build is 1.3 kg below the median of comparable bikes (23.5 kg). The Rotwild R.E735 is not a budget bike: even the CORE build costs €7,990, while the category median is €6,900. Fork and shock come from FOX on every build. Drive comes from Shimano EP801, paired with 720 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 36 Float Performance): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: on FOX suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Air shock (FOX Float X Performance): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Rotwild R.E735
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Rotwild specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
170 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: SCHWALBE Magic Mary Evo / SCHWALBE Hans Dampf Evo.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
