A couple of months ago, we talked about Honda's ridiculous electric mountain bike prototype, a machine that looked like someone at Honda's motorcycle R&D department had been spending a little too much time watching downhill mountain biking videos. Back then, we had a cool-looking prototype, some ambitious promises, and precious little actual information. Well, Honda's finally spilled the beans, and this thing is pretty damn serious.
Meet the Honda RN0, officially unveiled at EICMA 2026. Developed alongside German mountain bike specialist ROTWILD, it's Honda's first premium electric-assist mountain bike, and the specifications suggest the company isn't interested in making some glorified commuter bicycle with knobby tires. We're talking carbon fiber, high-end suspension, serious electric assistance, and chassis engineering that borrows directly from Honda's motorcycle playbook.
