Rotwild Bikes, a German premium mountain and racing bicycle manufacturer has formed a long time strategic partnership with fellow German auto giant Mercedes Benz's performance division AMG. The first product born out out the collaboration is the limited edition R.X45 AMG mountain bike, built in typical Rotwild style, with the addition of AMG design inputs.

"Our aim with this partnership is to bring the AMG brand claim, "Driving Performance", to two wheels. We chose ROTWILD because the brand has applied a real passion and high level of technical expertise to take bike development to a new level," says Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management at Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "Both companies focus on performance and the products elicit the same responses from fans and owners: a racing pulse, excitement and enthusiasm." ROTWILD's CEO Peter Schlitt adds that "We are delighted to have found an excellent partner in Mercedes-AMG. In terms of philosophy and direction, the two premium brands are an ideal fit, sharing at their heart independence, German engineering expertise and the desire to set benchmarks in technological development."

Rotwild R.X45 AMG mountain bike is inspired by Mercedes A 45 AMG "Edition 1" sports hatchback.

The design cues taken from the A 45 AMG feature in the form of the AMG currus white frame, matt black and graphite grey rear swing arm and red detailing.

Like all Rotwild bikes the R.X45 AMG is completely hand built in Germany.

The R.X45 AMG is a full suspension, genuine all terrain bike, which lets the rider unleash his full potential, says Rotwild.

The bike delivers optimum traction, directional stability and excellent responsiveness during all kind of riding situations, with the use of the very latest in frame technology.

The obvious choice of material when building a bicycle such as the R.X45 is carbon fiber. The bike is almost entirely built from this lightweight material.
