Mondraker LEVEL XR Review

The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Even steep uphills the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System provides a very natural riding experience with a dynamic power delivery. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

Even nasty descents get smoothened by the good Öhlins chassis. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. At the rear, the steel spring shock absorber provides maximum sensitivity. When it comes to the brakes, Mondraker reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from SRAM. A nice touch: The gear and components are on a very good level. When it comes to the geometry, Mondraker does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Hell yeah, the geometry is killer! Here the know-how of the Mondraker developers is videly visible. With weight, the LEVEL XR is generally one of the heavier e-bikes on the market.
