Mondraker PRIME 29 Review

The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Also steepest climbs 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. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

Rough descents take the good Rock Shox fork brand its course, though not with the calmness of a top-end fork. The mid-range brakes from SRAM do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the two pistons setup is only average. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. 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. On the scale, the PRIME 29 makes a good figure with 22,5 kg. Most Tourenbikes are significantly heavier.
