Summary
The Mondraker Crafty is a high-performance enduro eMTB that excels in stability and traction, making it a favorite among aggressive riders for technical terrain. Its Bosch Performance Line CX motor and 750Wh battery provide powerful assistance, while the Ohlins or Fox suspension components ensure precise handling. However, its weight and long wheelbase can make it less nimble for some riders, and the SRAM G2 R brakes are often cited as inadequate.
Excellent geometry and stability
Powerful Bosch Performance Line CX motor
High-capacity 750Wh battery
Precise handling with Ohlins or Fox suspension
Good traction and confidence on technical terrain
Heavy weight and long wheelbase reduce agility
SRAM G2 R brakes lack stopping power
Fixed battery design limits flexibility
Some models have a steep head angle
Overdamped shock tuning on some models
Mondraker has done a typically awesome job of marrying up two seemingly conflicting characteristics in the Crafty XR.
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 Crafty probably isn’t for everyone. Smaller or more timid riders will find it hard to muscle the bike around and ride it dynamically. But for taller, more aggressive riders its stability and traction make it easy to ride technical terrain flat out.

Bosch delivered a prototype bike so we could finally test the Bosch Performance CX Race motor. Attached to that motor was a Mondraker Crafty Carbon. The specs don’t correspond to any of the 2023 models, so we’ll just call it the Crafty. Riding...

Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR with built-in MIND suspension data acquisition. Yep, integrated data-logging comes to mountain biking courtesy of Mondraker.
The myMondraker app provides a user friendly step-by-step guide to suspension set-up on your phone. MIND provides real world data on how you’re using the travel, which makes fine tuning your ride a breeze. Pins on the GPS trace indicate air time and you can instantly see how often you bottom-out the suspension. And while it doesn’t offer comprehensive data, it’s an affordable and easy-to-use system.
Currently MIND offers no data on shaft speed, which means you have no info to adjust damping. Rechargeable batteries drain quickly. Waiting for a GPS signal gets frustrating.

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

Easy to ride fast over technical terrain, but hard to handle on tamer trails and brakes let it down
Super-stable when riding fast, with excellent cornering grip
Highly capable uphill thanks to powerful motor and good weight distribution
High weight and long wheelbase make it hard to move around
I’d upgrade the brakes ASAP
