Finished with SRAM GX Eagle AXS electronic shifting, powerful SRAM Maven Bronze brakes and Mavic E-Deemax wheels, the RR offers a high-performance specification ready for everything from natural UK trails to challenging enduro terrain.
Why Choose the Mondraker Crafty Carbon RR?
Latest-Generation Bosch Performance Line CX Motor
At the heart of the Crafty Carbon RR is the fifth-generation Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor. Designed to deliver smooth, responsive assistance, the motor provides excellent control on technical climbs, steep gradients and loose surfaces.
The system features intelligent power delivery that reacts naturally to rider input. Bosch software updates can increase the available assistance, with compatible updated systems supporting up to 100Nm of torque, subject to software version and configuration.
With reduced motor noise, improved efficiency and a natural pedalling feel, the Crafty is equally at home tackling technical uphill features and covering long distances. Motor assistance is limited to 25km/h in accordance with UK road-legal e-bike requirements.
800Wh Removable Bosch Battery
The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery delivers the capacity needed for long days in the saddle. Whether you're heading out for an all-day adventure or enjoying repeated descents at your favourite trail centre, the substantial battery capacity gives you greater flexibility.
The battery can be removed for convenient charging and maintenance using Mondraker's integrated battery access system. The Crafty Carbon platform is also compatible with the optional Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender, increasing total theoretical capacity to 1,050Wh.
Stealth Air Carbon Frame and Forward Geometry
The Crafty Carbon RR uses a lightweight Stealth Air Carbon front triangle paired with a durable Stealth Alloy rear triangle. This construction combines precise handling, stiffness and strength with the distinctive profile of Mondraker's latest Crafty platform.
Mondraker's Forward Geometry gives the bike a longer reach, short stem and confidence-inspiring riding position. The 64.5-degree head angle in the standard geometry setting adds stability on steep descents, while the effective 77.95-degree seat angle helps maintain an efficient climbing position.
A two-position flip chip allows riders to choose between Standard and Low geometry settings, lowering the bottom bracket by 5mm and slackening the head angle by approximately 0.35 degrees in the Low position.
Updated Zero Suspension System
Mondraker's latest Zero Suspension System provides 150mm of rear-wheel travel and is designed to keep the rear tyre connected to the trail. The suspension layout improves sensitivity over small bumps while maintaining support through larger impacts.
The result is dependable grip when climbing technical terrain, composure through braking bumps and excellent control when riding rough, fast descents.
Fox Factory Kashima Suspension
The Crafty Carbon RR benefits from premium Fox Factory suspension at both ends.
Up front, the Fox 38 Float Factory fork features 160mm of travel, the advanced GRIP X2 damper and distinctive Kashima coating. Independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments allow riders to fine-tune the fork for their weight, terrain and riding style.
The rear Fox Float X Factory EVOL shock offers excellent small-bump sensitivity, progressive support and adjustable rebound, together with a two-position compression lever.
SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission
Electronic shifting comes courtesy of SRAM's GX Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed drivetrain. The wireless AXS Pod controller delivers precise gear changes, while the 10-52T cassette provides a wide range for steep climbs and fast descents.
The direct-mount Transmission rear derailleur works with the frame's UDH-compatible interface, creating a strong, accurately aligned shifting system engineered for demanding mountain bike use.
SRAM Maven Bronze Braking
SRAM Maven Bronze four-piston hydraulic brakes provide powerful, controlled stopping performance. Paired with 200mm HS2 rotors front and rear, they are designed to handle the higher speeds and sustained descents associated with full-power electric mountain bikes.
Mavic E-Deemax Wheels and Maxxis Tyres
The 29-inch Mavic E-Deemax wheelset features robust, tubeless-ready rims with a 30mm internal width. These are paired with a Maxxis Assegai 3C MaxxGrip front tyre and Maxxis Minion DHR II 3C MaxxTerra DoubleDown rear tyre.
This combination prioritises cornering grip, braking traction and casing support, particularly on rough and aggressive trails.

Geometry data from Mondraker's UK 2026 Crafty RR product page. The second table illustrates the flip-chip changes; reach, stack and wheelbase also vary by frame size.
Understanding the Geometry
- Reach: The horizontal distance from the bottom bracket to the top of the head tube. Longer reach generally provides a roomier standing position.
- Stack: The vertical height of the front end relative to the bottom bracket.
- Head Angle: A slacker head angle improves stability on steep and fast descents.
- Seat Angle: The steep effective seat angle places the rider in an efficient position for seated climbing.
- Chainstay Length: Mondraker uses size-specific rear-centre lengths to help maintain balanced handling across the range.
- Wheelbase: A longer wheelbase can improve stability at speed, particularly over rough terrain.

Mondraker Crafty Carbon RR 2026 – Frequently Asked Questions
What motor does the 2026 Mondraker Crafty Carbon RR use?
The 2026 Crafty Carbon RR uses the fifth-generation Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor. It offers responsive pedal assistance with a UK assistance speed limit of 25km/h. Available torque depends on the installed software and motor configuration.
What size battery does the Crafty Carbon RR have?
It comes with a Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery, which can be removed for charging and maintenance.
How far can the Crafty Carbon RR travel on one charge?
Actual range depends on rider weight, assistance mode, terrain, elevation, temperature and tyre choice. The 800Wh battery provides substantial capacity for long rides, but there is no guaranteed mileage figure. Using Eco or Tour+ modes generally provides greater range than sustained high-power assistance.
Can I fit a Bosch range extender?
Yes. The Crafty Carbon RR is compatible with the optional Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender. When combined with the supplied 800Wh battery, total nominal capacity is 1,050Wh. The range extender is sold separately.
Is the Crafty Carbon RR a full carbon bike?
No. The standard Crafty Carbon RR uses a Stealth Air Carbon front triangle with a Stealth Alloy aluminium rear triangle. This is different from certain higher-spec Crafty builds that use a carbon rear triangle.
What suspension does the Crafty Carbon RR have?
It comes with a Fox 38 Float Factory GRIP X2 fork offering 160mm travel and a Fox Float X Factory EVOL rear shock controlling 150mm of rear-wheel travel. Both feature Fox's Kashima coating.
Is the SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain wireless?
Yes. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission system uses electronic wireless shifting operated by an AXS Pod controller. The rear derailleur has its own rechargeable AXS battery.
Does the bike have a removable battery?
Yes. The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery can be removed from the downtube for charging or maintenance.
What wheel size does the Crafty Carbon RR use?
The Crafty Carbon RR uses 29-inch wheels at both the front and rear. These larger wheels help maintain momentum and roll efficiently over rocks, roots and rough ground.
Is the Crafty Carbon RR suitable for enduro riding?
Absolutely. Its 160mm front and 150mm rear suspension travel, aggressive geometry, Fox Factory suspension and SRAM Maven brakes make it well suited to demanding enduro-style trails, steep descents and technical natural riding.
Can I adjust the geometry?
Yes. Mondraker has fitted a two-position flip chip that provides Standard and Low settings. The Low setting reduces bottom bracket height by 5mm and slackens the head angle, offering a more planted feeling on steep terrain.
What is the difference between Crafty Carbon RR and RR S?
The Crafty Carbon RR uses a carbon front triangle with an aluminium rear triangle and comes equipped with an 800Wh battery. The RR S features a full carbon frame construction and a lighter 600Wh battery as standard. Other components also differ between the builds.
Can the Crafty Carbon RR be ridden without motor assistance?
Yes. The bike can be pedalled with the assistance switched off or when the battery runs out, although its weight and gearing mean it will require more effort than a conventional mountain bike.
What is the maximum assisted speed?
The Bosch motor provides assistance up to 25km/h (approximately 15.5mph). The bike can travel faster through normal pedalling or when descending, but the motor will not provide assistance above its speed limit.
Does the Crafty Carbon RR come tubeless ready?
Yes. The Mavic E-Deemax wheels and supplied Maxxis tyres are tubeless-ready. Whether the bike is supplied already converted to tubeless should be confirmed before purchase.
Can Midlands Cycles service the Bosch motor and battery?
Yes. Midlands Cycles is a Bosch eBike Service Centre and can assist with Bosch system diagnostics, firmware updates, maintenance and general e-bike servicing.
