Mondraker Crafty Carbon S 2026
The Crafty Carbon is the ultimate enduro machine in our full-power electric mountain bike (e-MTB) lineup. Designed for riders who demand maximum performance. This full suspension e-MTB features 29” wheels and 160mm front / 150mm rear travel—perfect for tackling steep descents, technical trails, and everything in between.
Built around a lightweight yet robust carbon fibre frame, the new Crafty Carbon range comes in five distinct builds, each engineered to deliver superior control, power and durability on the toughest terrain.
Key to its trail-taming performance is the latest generation of the Zero Suspension System, now enhanced with a flip chip at the lower shock mount for fine-tuning geometry and ride feel. To ensure optimal balance and handling across all sizes, the Crafty Carbon uses two different swingarm lengths: 455mm for sizes S, M, and ML; 465mm for L and XL.
From big-mountain adventures to all-day epics, Crafty Carbon redefines what a full suspension e-MTB can do.
New Bosch CX
This top-tier e-Bike wouldn’t be complete without the latest evolution of the Bosch Performance Line CX motor. Now 100g lighter and more compact thanks to an updated internal architecture, it maintains the familiar 85Nm of torque and 600W peak power - but with noticeably smoother power delivery and improved control.
