The CRAFTY CARBON R is a classic among e-mountain bikes. Earlier than most other companies, the Spaniards from Mondraker have already set the tone for motorized mountain bikes.

The combination of a very natural riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Mondraker CRAFTY CARBON R ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (9000) ⬤.

The good Fox chassis confidently dampens small and medium bumps. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. Especially for heavy riders, the Mondraker brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Mondraker uses good equipment. In view of the high reach value, it becomes clear: The main frame is long. However, the generous reach is compensated for by a very short stem. This way, Mondraker creates a good weight distribution between the wheels and a balanced handling.
