The Bonnell 775 MX is a high performance electric bike that combines the agility of a downhill mountain bike with the power of a lightweight dirt bike. It is built on a hybrid chassis featuring a 4130 chromoly steel front triangle and 6061 forged aluminum chainstays which provides a total weight of seventy five pounds. The vehicle utilizes a CYC X1 Pro Gen 4 mid drive motor that produces six thousand watts of peak power and two hundred eighty Newton meters of torque for a top speed between thirty seven and forty miles per hour. Energy is supplied by a swappable sixty five volt battery with a thirteen hundred watt hour capacity using Samsung 50S cells which delivers an estimated range between twelve and thirty seven miles. Its suspension system includes a Suntour Rux 38 dual crown fork with two hundred millimeters of travel and a Suntour Voro Coil rear shock providing one hundred seventy millimeters of travel. The bike employs a mullet wheel configuration with a twenty nine inch front wheel and a twenty seven point five inch rear wheel equipped with Maxxis Assegai tires. Braking is managed by Magura MT5 four piston hydraulic brakes with floating rotors while ride data is accessible through an integrated smart display or the CYC Ride Control mobile application.
The Freshly Charged Take
The Bonnell 775 MX is the rare machine that genuinely earns the "best of both worlds" label. It climbs like an eMoto, descends like a true downhill bike, and looks enough like a mountain bike that nobody on a shared trail gives it a second glance. That last point matters more than it used to, given how aggressively Surron style bikes are being pushed off public trails and out of communities. The 775 MX fills that void without asking you to compromise on fun, and with Bonnell already fielding bikes like the 805 and 902 that are winning races at venues like Glen Helen Raceway, it is increasingly clear this is not a one-hit brand. The 775 MX is a strong product from a company that looks like it is just getting started.
