Rotwild R.X1000: suspension setup & specs
The Rotwild R.X1000 is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 150 mm of fork travel and 150 mm at the rear. It is powered by Pinion E1.12 MGU. This page lists the 2 current builds with fork, shock and shock size and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

All builds
Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, motor, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: MX.
| Build | Fork | Shock | Shock size | Rear travel | Motor | Weight | RRP | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRO | FOX 36 Float Performance (150 mm) | FOX Float X Performance | 205x60 | 150 mm | Pinion E1.12 MGU 1060 Wh | 24.3 kg | €6,990 | Setup → |
| ULTRA | FOX 36 Float Factory (150 mm) | FOX Float Factory | 205x60 | 150 mm | Pinion E1.12 MGU 1060 Wh | 24.1 kg | €10,990 | Setup → |
How it compares
150 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 150 mm median of the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database. Travel is the same front and rear at 150 mm each. Within Rotwild’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Rotwild R.X275 and the Rotwild R.EX on travel. Rotwild builds the frame from carbon.
Rotwild quotes 24.1 kg for the ULTRA build; that is 0.7 kg more than the 23.4 kg median of 49 comparable bikes. With a starting price of €6,990 (PRO), the Rotwild R.X1000 is above the category median (€5,500). The top build, ULTRA, costs €10,990. Rotwild uses FOX suspension throughout. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 36 Float Performance to the FOX 36 Float Factory. It is powered by Pinion E1.12 MGU with a 1,060 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX 36 Float Performance): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- 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: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Rotwild R.X1000
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.
150 mm fork, 60.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 14.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 16.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 16.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.60″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. 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.
