Mondraker CHASER 29 Review

The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Also seemingly hopeless inclines the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System provides a very well-rounded riding experience with a dynamic power delivery. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

The low-grade chassis transfers shocks relatively clearly to the biker. The mid-range brakes from SRAM do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the four pistons setup is only average. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar.
