The Mondraker Crafty is the reference e-MTB of the Spanish brand in the category trail/enduro full powerwheels 29”fork 160 mm and posterior 150 mmcarbon frame Stealth Air and cinematic Zero Suspension System evolved, designed to increase sensitivity on small asperities, absorption, end-of-travel support, and above all, the uphill grip.
The "Crafty" character is the typical Mondraker one: Forward Geometry optimized and, for the first time in this family, two car lengths based on the size (S/M/ML 455 mm, L/XL 465 mm) to maintain the same ride feel across all sizes. Additionally, the geometry includes a flip chip with two positions to adjust the height of the bottom bracket and the angles, allowing you to tailor the bike's handling to your riding style and the terrain.

-
a modern bike, with a 29" setup and 160/150 mm travel, that combines downhill control and uphill traction, with adjustable geometry.
