Summary
The Mondraker Crafty is a high-performance enduro eMTB that excels in technical climbing and downhill stability, thanks to its Forward Geometry and Zero Suspension system. It features powerful Bosch motors and batteries, with models offering up to 750Wh capacity, and is equipped with top-tier components like Öhlins suspension and Mavic wheelsets. However, some reviews note issues with brake performance, tire size, and the positioning of the charging port.
Forward Geometry provides stability and precision
Zero Suspension system offers a plush and controlled ride
Powerful Bosch motor and large battery options
Top-tier components like Öhlins suspension and Mavic wheelsets
Excellent technical climbing capabilities
Inadequate brakes on some models
Drifty tire size and slightly tall frame
Poorly positioned charging port
High weight makes it hard to maneuver
Some components may require upgrades
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 Race Motor puts the Crafty XR LTD at the top of the pile, pitching it as Mondraker’s top offering for Enduro eMTB racing.
BikerumorThe Öhlins suspension is the absolute highlight of the Mondraker.
E-Mountainbike MagazineThe real problem is the SRAM G2 R brakes, which are simply inadequate for a 25kg ebike.

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.
