Mondraker CRUSHER R Review

Shimano motors remain at the top of the engine popularity alongside Bosch motors. No wonder, as evidenced by EP801. The Shimano motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a well-rounded riding feeling and a harmonious power delivery characterises the Shimano EP801. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

The high-quality Öhlins chassis also takes away the fear of rough root sections. 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.
