Electric mountain bikes have turn out to be more and more capable, giving riders extra assistance for steep climbs, long trail days, and technical terrain. Nevertheless, the Bonnell 775 MX takes the idea considerably further. Slightly than merely adding electric help to a standard mountain bike, Bonnell designed the 775 MX to bridge the gap between a high-performance downhill e-MTB and a lightweight electric motorcycle.

From its highly effective motor to its downhill-targeted suspension and throttle control, a number of features make the Bonnell 775 MX very different from a traditional electric mountain bike.

6,000 Watts of Peak Power

The biggest difference is the motor.

The Bonnell 775 MX makes use of the CYC X1 Pro Gen four motor, producing up to 6,000 watts of peak energy and 280 Nm of torque. Bonnell specifically designed the bike so riders can use lower energy with pedal assistance or access significantly higher performance for an e-Moto-style using experience.

For perspective, typical e-MTB systems operate at dramatically lower energy levels. Shimano’s EP801 system, for example, produces eighty five Nm of torque and as much as 600 watts of peak output. Even high-performance modern e-MTB motors stay far under the Bonnell’s maximum figures.
