Mondraker Play 26 Aura Blue
The Mondraker Play 26 Aura Blue is a proper junior electric mountain bike for young riders who are ready to go further, climb easier and enjoy more confidence on the trails. With 26 inch wheels, a lightweight Alloy Stealth Evo frame, MAHLE X35 electric assistance, 120mm suspension fork and real mountain bike components, it gives older kids the look, feel and performance of a grown-up Mondraker in a junior-friendly package.
Key Highlights
The Play 26 is ideal for older young riders who want a more capable bike than a standard kids MTB. It is light, stable and confidence-inspiring, making it a brilliant choice for trail centres, forest loops, family rides and junior riders who want to keep up with adults.
MAHLE X35 Assistance
The MAHLE X35 hub-drive system gives smooth electric support without making the bike feel heavy, bulky or intimidating for younger riders.
250Wh Internal Battery
The neatly integrated internal battery gives young riders extra help for climbs, longer routes and family adventures, while keeping the bike looking clean.
120mm Air Fork
The X-Fusion Velvet RL air fork gives proper suspension performance, helping smooth out roots, stones, rough tracks and trail centre sections.
Forward Geometry
Mondraker Forward Geometry helps create a stable and controlled ride position, giving young riders more confidence when the trail gets faster or trickier.
Proper MTB Components
SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes, SRAM NX 11-speed gearing and wide 2.4 inch tyres make this a genuine junior trail bike, not just a basic kids bike with a motor.
Aura Blue Finish
The Aura Blue colour gives the Play 26 a bright, premium look that stands out on the trail and matches Mondraker's sharp adult-bike styling.
Full Product Description
The Mondraker Play 26 Aura Blue is built for young riders who are ready for a bigger, more capable electric mountain bike. Designed around 26 inch wheels and Mondraker's modern trail geometry, it is ideal for older children and early teenagers who want more confidence, more range and more fun on every ride.
Powered by the MAHLE X35 electric assistance system, the Play 26 gives smooth and lightweight support when the trail points uphill or the ride starts to get longer. It is not designed to overpower the rider. Instead, it adds just the right amount of help to make climbs easier and longer family rides more enjoyable.
The 250Wh internal battery is built into the frame for a clean, balanced look. Keeping the battery low in the downtube helps the bike feel stable and natural, which is especially important for young riders building confidence on rougher ground.
Up front, the X-Fusion Velvet RL 120mm air fork gives proper trail suspension performance, with lockout, rebound and air preload adjustment. This gives young riders more comfort and control over roots, stones, bumps and trail centre features compared with a basic rigid or coil-sprung kids bike.
Mondraker has fitted the Play 26 with genuine mountain bike components, including SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes for confident stopping power and SRAM NX 11-speed gearing for a useful range on climbs and mixed terrain. The Kenda Booster 26x2.4 tyres add grip, comfort and stability, helping the bike feel planted on loose, bumpy or uneven surfaces.
This is a great choice for young riders who already enjoy mountain biking and want a bike that can help them ride further, climb more easily and develop their skills. Whether it is for trail centres, forest rides, family MTB days or keeping up with adults, the Mondraker Play 26 brings proper e-MTB fun to the next generation of riders.
Because it gives older young riders a proper electric mountain bike experience, with MAHLE assistance, quality suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, wide trail tyres and Mondraker geometry. It is built to help kids ride further, climb easier and enjoy more time on the bike.
