Comparing the DUSK R to the rest of Mondraker's lineup, it comes across as almost boring. However, the second bottle holder position under the top tube is clever.

In the automotive and motorcycle world, Japan has always had a reputation for being a breeding ground for excellent engines. Shimano is doing its utmost to live up to this reputation in the e-bike world with the EP8 engine. No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Shimano motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a natural feeling while riding with a gentle power delivery. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Mondraker DUSK R ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) ⬤.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. Especially for heavy riders, the Mondraker brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. 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.

Conclusion

Expirience with the Mondraker DUSK R

The developers of Mondraker have created a solid all-rounder with the DUSK R.

The warranty of 25 years proves that Mondraker has a lot of trust in its products.
