Bonnell 775 MX: Best of Both Worlds

In a world where the lines between bikes and motorbikes keep getting blurrier, the Bonnell 775 MX draws a bold one and then blazes right over it. Designed for riders who want to pedal when they feel like it and rip like a dirt bike when they don't, the 775 MX isn’t just a crossover; it’s a category disruptor.

In a world where the lines between bikes and motorbikes keep getting blurrier, the Bonnell 775 MX draws a bold one and then blazes right over it. Designed for riders who want to pedal when they feel like it and rip like a dirt bike when they don't, the 775 MX isn’t just a crossover; it’s a category disruptor.

Bonnell blends categories with the 775 MX.

 

First Impressions: This Thing Means Business

At first glance, the 775 MX looks like the love child of a World Cup downhill rig and a 125cc motocrosser. Long-travel suspension. Beefy frame. Aggressive geometry. But peek closer and you’ll spot the smart integration of lightweight battery tech, a whisper-quiet mid-drive motor, and a pedal-assist system that doesn’t fight you when the climb gets stupid.

This is not an eMTB pretending to be something it's not. The 775 MX is unapologetically hybrid—a purpose-built machine for people who want to hit gaps, shred loam, and still make it to the top without a chairlift.

Ride along with Electric Cycle Rider to see how it performs on single-track and trail roads in Colorado. You can tell from Tucker Neary, founder of Electric Cycle Rider’s enthusiasm, that Bonnell is on to something special with the 775 MX.

Tucker Neary from Electric Cycle Rider makes a compelling case for the 775 MX while enthusiastically riding a variety of Colorado trails.

 

Ride Feel: Float Like a DH Bike, Punch Like a Moto

Thanks to its progressive linkage and 190mm of rear travel, the 775 MX soaks up hits like it was born on the Fort William track. Pair that with a custom-tuned inverted fork (yes, inverted) and you’ve got a front end that stays glued at speed without feeling dead in tight turns.

However, it stands out when you flick the thumb throttle or engage full pedal-assist. The torque delivery is immediate yet smooth, allowing you to pop out of berms with moto-like acceleration. And at just under 50 lbs, it’s lighter than most full-on e-motos, which means you can whip it in the air and thread it through technical terrain without worrying.

With a maximum output power similar to that of the Surron LightBee and pedal assist, the 775 MX is well-equipped to tackle a variety of vertical terrains and cover ground quickly.

 

Climbing: Yes, You Can Do It

Don’t let the DH build fool you—climbing on the 775 MX is shockingly reasonable. The powertrain offers three modes:

  • Eco: For long days and battery-sipping

  • Trail: Punchy but controlled

  • Boost: Full-send power when you’re trying to clear a fire road climb like it’s a sprint stage.

The anti-squat kinematics help too. It’s not XC efficient, but it's way better than any DH bike you've ever tried to "spin up" a hill. And with regenerative braking on descents, you recover a bit of juice for the next push.

Blending the best of downhill mountain biking and electric moto, the Bonnell 775 MX suspension setup is equipped to handle serious downhill action while the powertrain supports effective shuttling.

 

Build & Components: Moto Meets MTB in the Details

  • Frame: 6061 hydroformed alloy with internal cable routing and removable motor cradle

  • Suspension: 200mm inverted fork / 190mm rear coil-over with custom valving

  • Drive Unit: 600W mid-drive motor, 85Nm torque, throttle + pedal assist

  • Battery: 720Wh integrated, removable for charging

  • Brakes: 4-piston hydraulic with 220mm rotors

  • Wheels: 27.5” DH-rated hoops with tubeless Maxxis Minion rubber

  • Drivetrain: 7-speed e-MTB specific with steel-caged derailleur for impact protection

Everything feels intentional—this isn’t a parts bin build. It’s tight, clean, and built to withstand punishment.

The Suntour TriAir 3CR shock on the Bonnell 775 MX features a Trunnion mount and a custom compression tune tailored specifically for this bike. It offers a three-position compression lever, rebound adjustment, and an adjustable air spring—making mid-ride tuning quick and intuitive. Whether you're dialing it in for your weight or trail conditions, the TriAir 3CR gives you the flexibility to adapt on the go.

 

Who’s It For?

If you:

  • Love park days, but live too far from the lift

  • Used to ride moto and miss that two-wheeled punch

  • Want a single bike that can climb, descend, and jump like it stole something

…the 775 MX is your new best friend.

It’s not for everyone. It’s overkill for flow trails. Too powerful to fit into some MTB-only trail networks. And if you’re not comfortable charging steep lines, it might be more bike than you need. But if you’re a gravity junkie with a thirst for range and a slight addiction to torque, this thing delivers grins by the truckload.

Final Verdict: A Rowdy Revolution

The Bonnell 775 MX isn’t trying to fit into a box—it’s burning the box and launching off it. It’s a machine built for the rider who wants full-send capability with the option to chill on the climbs. It’s as capable as it is fun, and it might just be the future of backcountry freeride.

Honda Fastport: Last-Mile Delivery & Agility

In an era where e-commerce growth continues to transform our urban environments, the importance of last-mile delivery innovation is more critical than ever. Enter the Honda Fastport, a bold, purpose-driven concept that signals Honda’s reentry into the compact urban mobility landscape—this time with a clear focus on efficiency, electrification, and adaptability.

In an era where e-commerce growth continues to transform our urban environments, the importance of last-mile delivery innovation is more critical than ever. Enter the Honda Fastport, a bold, purpose-driven concept that signals Honda’s reentry into the compact urban mobility landscape—this time with a clear focus on efficiency, electrification, and adaptability.

Compact Yet Capable

The Honda Fastport (currently in prototype form) is designed to be small enough for congested city streets and agile enough for dynamic routing, all while offering surprising cargo flexibility. With a tight turning radius, modular interior, and a fully electric drivetrain, Fastport is optimized for the needs of delivery fleets navigating dense urban areas.

Its sliding side doors and low floor height make curbside access fast and efficient—important details when seconds matter during peak fulfillment cycles. The vehicle’s form is upright and purposeful, echoing a utilitarian sensibility more akin to Japanese kei vans or European microdelivery vehicles than conventional American delivery trucks.

Electrified for the Future

The Fastport rides on an electric platform that aligns with Honda’s broader carbon neutrality goals. The low center of gravity resulting from the battery placement not only improves stability but also creates floor-to-ceiling space for flexible storage solutions, whether transporting food, parcels, or medical supplies.

Range estimates haven’t been officially announced, but the concept suggests a balance between daily range needs and fast recharge capability—ideal for fleet vehicles running multiple short routes in a day.

Modular by Design

One of the most interesting aspects of the Fastport is its modular cargo bay, which can be reconfigured with racks, bins, refrigeration units, or shelving depending on the delivery need. Honda appears to be targeting both large-scale delivery networks and small business operators alike, hinting at an ecosystem where the same vehicle platform could serve florists, pharmacies, and parcel couriers without major customization.

This kind of versatility—combined with a small physical footprint—could make the Fastport an ideal solution not only for urban areas but also for dense university campuses, resorts, or even medical campuses requiring internal logistics.

Human-Centered, Brand-Aligned

From a design standpoint, Fastport reflects Honda’s approachable and human-centric DNA. Its exterior isn’t trying to look aggressive or tech-forward for its own sake; instead, it feels like a friendly tool, precise and thoughtfully executed. The design invites trust, which is particularly important in the delivery space, where vehicles represent a brand’s values as much as they carry its goods.

Inside, a simple, tablet-based interface streamlines logistics software integration, and the cabin is optimized for single-driver use with excellent visibility and ergonomic reach to cargo.

Why It Matters

The last mile remains the most expensive and complex part of the delivery journey. As municipalities begin to rethink how streets and curbs are utilized—and as sustainability mandates evolve—vehicles like the Honda Fastport present a compelling case for right-sizing mobility. It is great to see the genetic DNA of micromobility solutions diversifying as mobility solutions continue to evolve.

By focusing on flexibility, electrification, and driver-friendly design, Honda isn’t just building another EV—they’re rethinking how goods move across the final stretch.

If this concept is any indication of where Honda’s mobility vision is heading, expect to see a lot more thoughtful, compact, and competent solutions on the road—and perhaps even on sidewalks or bike lanes—sooner than we think.
