Under the commercial motto “Silence never made so much noise: 805 and 902 arrive,” The American brand Bonnell Lands in the high performance MX segment with two mounts with a clear initial objective: Master the mud with avant -garde technology and latest generation premium components. In the words of Matthew Wautersexecutive director and founder of the brand:
“Bonnell is a dream come true. Born from a small team of passionate cyclists and enthusiasts of outdoor activities, we set out to create something that we did not find in the market. Each product is designed … optimized after countless hours of design, driving and set -up to adapt to their unique needs.”
Bonnell premieres in the MX
Based in Austin, Texas, Bonnell has been designing and manufacturing high specifications for several years. Now they have decided to go one step further with their new range of plug -in frames aimed at the practice of MX. To begin with, they announce two input models, the 805 and 902. Two motorcycles that a priori use the same platform, but that have different capacity in their power range, as well as minor changes that affect the dynamic configuration of each of them.
In this way we find the 805 variant for which the brand announces a maximum power of 40 hp. Use an interchangeable battery of 3.1 kWh capacity and have Up to 245 mm travel in your suspensions. The 21 and 18 -inch radio tires, in front and behind respectively, are shoes with latest generation offroad tires.
If this first Bonnell option fails to meet our needs, then the brand has a second alternative to which they have baptized under the acronym 902. Their electric motor is squeezed until reaching the 62 hp of power and 900 nm of maximum torque. For the occasion the route of its suspensions Sirris reaches the 285 mm. For its part, the battery used has 6.6 kWh capacity.
At the electronic level, as Bonnell details from its official website, IMU of 6 axes mount, as well as a digital screen as an instrument frame from which we can select up to three types of vision: precision, performance and race. We also have the help of a Joy-Con that allows us fluid navigation through visualization options, adjustment to driving modes, rapid access to driving statistics and accelerator customization with the finger in the trigger.
Although the official price has not yet been announced from which this range of bonnell plug -in models will start, it is likely that the starting rate starts From approximately $ 11,000. In any case, it will not be before the last bars of this 2025 until the US firm officially present the new model to later start their presale.
