Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR 2026 Electric Mountain Bike
Full Carbon, Long Travel and Built to Be Pushed Hard
The Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR 2026 is built for riders who want the hardest-hitting version of the Crafty lineup without stepping up to the RR SL. With a full carbon frame, 170mm front travel, 150mm rear travel and Bosch full-power assistance, it is aimed squarely at aggressive e-enduro riding.
The XR stands out with its Öhlins suspension package, full carbon construction and high-end SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain. It is a proper premium build for riders who want a bike that feels composed at speed, confident on steep terrain and ready for big mountain days.

Why It Stands Out
The Crafty Carbon XR is all about taking the already capable Crafty platform and giving it a more aggressive, more premium edge. The Öhlins 170mm fork and coil rear shock give it a planted, hard-charging feel, while the full carbon frame keeps the bike sharp and properly high-end.
Mondraker has also built the latest Crafty Carbon platform around five frame sizes, including ML, with two different chainstay lengths depending on size. That helps keep the handling more balanced right across the range, rather than forcing every rider onto the same rear-end feel.
