Honda Unveils RN0 Full-Suspension e-MTB at EICMA 2026 With Rotwild

Honda unveiled the RN0, a full-suspension electric mountain bike with a one-piece carbon fiber Y-frame, at EICMA 2026. Autoevolution reported the debut on November 3, 2026, and said pricing has not been disclosed.

Honda's RN0 Build and Shimano Drive

The RN0 was completed with Rotwild Bikes, which Autoevolution describes as a frequent collaborator for automotive brands entering e-biking. Honda calls the carbon frame "exclusive," and the bike carries a Gullwing Swingarm design that Honda says comes from its own drawing books. A Fox Float X Factory rear shock provides 145 mm of rear-wheel travel, while a Fox 36 Factory fork at the front offers 160 mm of travel with Kashima coating on the stanchions. A dropped post is integrated under the top arm of the Y-frame, and Autoevolution notes that available travel depends on frame size.

Shimano supplies the drivetrain and electronics: a 750 W peak motor with 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque, paired with auto shift, auto assist and Trail+ mode. Auto assist analyzes rider input and delivers what is asked for, while Trail+ changes the assistance level from Eco to Boost. Toni Bou, a 40-time world champion on a Honda, and freeride MTB rider Antoine Buffart tested the RN0 and described the frame as "motorcross style," according to Autoevolution.
