"The best eMTBs on the market right now are able to churn out up to 1,000 watts of power and around 120 Nm of torque, which is a pretty mind-blowing set of numbers that provides an addictive feeling on the trail. The Amflow PL Pro is sitting at the top of the podium when it comes to usable power and efficiency, thanks to the Avinox drive system and 800Wh battery. And in my opinion, this is pushing it for most riders."
"I've had my eyes on what Bonnell has been up to for a while, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to ride one. I'm not the only one either, and the 775 MX is currently backordered, which isn't shocking. When you look at the most popular eMTBs on the market, it's not uncommon to see bikes in the $8,000 USD range and above, but the Bonnell 775 MX is just $5,495.00 USD, almost half of what the Amflow PL Pro retails for."
"Many will curse its existence, while others will praise the platform; however, I'm in a group that is steeped in cautious curiosity. A wolf in sheep's clothing, or an entirely new breed of bike for the local groms to terrorize the local trails on? While I have been enthusiastically enjoying eMTBs lately, and my mind has been opened to how fun they can be, the Bonnell 775 MX and the less powerful 775 AM have me equally worried and intrigued."
The Bonnell 775 MX outputs 6000 watts and 280 Nm of torque while appearing as a downhill-style mountain bike with pedals, dropper post, and conventional eMTB components. The bike lists for $5,495 USD, is currently backordered, weighs 75 lbs (34 kg), offers 200mm front and 170mm rear travel, and claims a range of 12–37 miles (20–60 km). Comparable high-end eMTBs typically produce up to 1,000 watts and 120 Nm and sell at significantly higher prices, making the 775 MX both an unexpectedly powerful and polarizing option among riders.
