Summary
The Mondraker Crafty is a versatile enduro e-bike praised for its 'Special-sauce' handling, excellent suspension performance with systems like Zero Suspension and Öhlins, and powerful Bosch motor for efficient climbing. However, it faces criticism for its high weight, long wheelbase making it hard to maneuver, and some component choices like inadequate brakes and poorly positioned charge ports.
‘Special-sauce’ handling
Excellent suspension performance with Zero Suspension and Öhlins systems
Powerful Bosch motor for efficient climbing
Super-stable when riding fast, with excellent cornering grip
Integrated data-logging with MIND suspension data acquisition
High weight and long wheelbase make it hard to maneuver
Inadequate brakes for a 25kg ebike
Poorly positioned charge ports exposed to grit, water, and mud
Drifty tire size and slightly tall frame
Downtube battery rattle and rough terrain feedback through pedals
Mondraker has done a great job of wrapping its outstanding Forward Geometry handling and Zero Suspension around the latest Bosch motor and battery.
Bike PerfectThe real problem is the SRAM G2 R brakes, which are simply inadequate for a 25kg ebike.
BikeRadarThe Öhlins suspension is the absolute highlight of the Mondraker.
E-Mountainbike MagazineFor a £299 upcharge, MIND is well worth it.

The Mondraker Crafty RR SL is of the best looking and lightest eMTBs on the market. Looks, spec and low weight only go so far though. Read our review now!

MONDRAKER are well known for their extreme geometry. How does the Forward Geometry concept of the Spanish manufacturer work with the CRAFTY CARBON XR? Can the sexy carbon Spaniard be tamed or does it just shoot down the hill in a straight line? The answers will surprise you!
Incredibly versatile
Top trail performance, both uphill and downhill
Look and feel
Permanently integrated battery can't be removed
Position of the charging port and Kiox display

I took the RR SL out for a ride around Lausa in Portugal (where the first round of the UCI DH World Cup will be raced in 2020), testing it for one and a half days on loose, rocky, rooty and wet enduro trails. Conditions were far from ideal for testing a bike, so these are initial ride impressions only. Mondraker replaced the stock Maxxis Rekon tyres with a pair of Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR2, with an EXO Plus casing, and its MaxxTerra 3C rubber – a welcome swap
Incredibly impressive rear suspension, backed up by great geometry and very light weight
Very expensive, with compromised battery access and tyres

Mondraker Crafty Carbon is a weight-conscious enduro bike 29er with 160/150mm travel. The first Mondraker e-bike with their Stealth Air carbon construction.
Lightweight with dialled rear suspension. Progressive geometry and sizing for an e-bike. Looks the business.
It’s a ton of cash. Can’t remove the battery easily for charging.

Mondraker's mid travel e-Crafty XR Plus is an absolute monster when it comes to smashing up and down the rough stuff thanks to super long geometry, a grunty Bosch motor and a whole lot of momentum, but the combination of sheer mass, huge chainstays and suspension that sometimes feeds back a little too much to the rider makes it a handful elsewhere.
