Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR 2021 <\/strong>is, as the name says, the flagship bike of Mondraker<\/strong> for 2021. But more than being a simple bike, we are talking about one of the newest e-bike models<\/strong><\/a> of Mondraker<\/strong> company. Some details need a deep look to understand how powerful this e-bike is, and we will tell you all you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR: Fast review <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the current e-bikes are currently known for being mountain bikes as well. This has become pretty popular on the current e-bike market, and people are happy with it. And, if you ask people, they love the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mondraker<\/strong> didn\u2019t focus only on design, but they thought about the drive as well. They are breaking some of the rules for most of the companies in the current market. If you take a look into a Specialized <\/a><\/strong>or maybe a Conway<\/a><\/strong>, you will find out they use Shimano<\/strong>, but this is not the case, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR <\/strong>is a bike that changed the rules by using Bosch<\/strong> technology. They left FOX <\/strong>aside as well, so it is the fact that they wanted to create something different. And they did.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosch over Shimano for the Crafty XR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We said before, but we will repeat just to make it clear. Bosch<\/strong> is the bet of the Mondraker <\/strong>company for their newest flagship in the e-bike market<\/strong>. No Shimano is found on this model. But that doesn\u2019t mean that they created something that doesn\u2019t have the power people are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the newest Bosch<\/strong> motors is the Bosch Performance Line CX Cruise<\/strong>. And in case you were wondering – yes, it is on this bike.<\/em> Leaving Shimano<\/strong> aside can be a dangerous move, but if you have a motor like this, you will have no problem and keep the power you need in an e-bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motor won\u2019t work alone. It needs something else to make it function as it should. And that\u2019s when we introduce you to the Bosch Powertube 625Wh<\/strong>. When mixing the motor and the battery, you get quite a good performance and more than 80km of autonomy when using it. Before moving on to the rest of the components, there is something else that we need to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosch Kiox, perfect for the Mondraker Cratfty Carbon XR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When talking about an e-bike, there is something that you cannot forget as it will be one of the main pieces for you to use. You might think about the breaks or the handlebar, but no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, we are talking about the Bosch Kiox<\/strong>, one of the most impressive displays we can found in the current e-bike market, and that will make our Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR<\/strong> unleash all the internal power it has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Bosch Kiox,<\/strong> you have the chance to watch out for the battery level, how fast you\u2019ve gone on your trip, and much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohlins: A different alternative for the Mondraker Crafty Carbon XR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you start to look deeper into this bike, you realize something. Shimano is not the only company they left behind<\/strong>. Taking a look at other e-bikes taking over the 2021 market, you can recognize that most of the bikes use FOX<\/strong>, but we are talking about Ohlins<\/strong> components in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might surprise many cyclists, but if you take a look at the components, you get to understand why they picked these gear for the Crafty Carbon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
