Mondraker Crafty Carbon 2025 - The Icon Is Back!
The Mondraker Crafty Carbon has always been a standout in the world of enduro mountain biking. For 2025, Mondraker introduces a new Crafty Carbon XR, taking everything that made the Crafty great and elevating it to new heights.
The new Crafty Carbon boasts a redesigned carbon fiber frame that's lighter, stronger, and more versatile than ever before. The frame is available in five different sizes, each with its own unique geometry to ensure the perfect fit for every rider. The Crafty Carbon also features a new Zero Suspension System that delivers unmatched grip and control in even the most challenging terrain.
Powering the Crafty Carbon is Bosch's latest-generation Performance CX Gen 5 motor, which is both more powerful and more efficient than ever before. The motor is paired with a 600Wh battery, giving you the range you need to tackle the toughest trails.
BOSCH CX PERFORMANCE: LATEST VERSION
A significant update to the new Crafty Carbon range, is the addition of the highly anticipated, totally revamped 2025 Bosch Performance CX Gen 5. The market leader among full power motors, the CX has been an intrinsic part of every Crafty Carbon since its launch in 2020. Bosch’s new motor incorporates an updated design architecture with two mounting points instead of three, a 100g reduction in weight and a reduction in its overall size.
This updated Bosch CX has the same 85Nm of torque and 600W peak power as the previous model but offers far better power delivery and control. Motor noise is reduced
while pedalling and coasting, and mecha- nical rattles when riding downhill have been eliminated altogether.
One additional function of the new motor is the ‘Hill Hold’ mode which, when activated by holding the minus button, keeps the bike from rolling backwards on slopes until you start pedalling. The same option also serves to stop the bike from rolling backwards while being pushed uphill.
KEEPING EVERYTHING UNDER
CONTROL: PURION 400 DISPLAY
One of the novelties of the new Bosch CX system and the new Crafty Carbon range is the all-new Purion 400 display. A complete revamp compared to previous gen-erations; it sits on the bar next to the stem well out of harm’s way.
Easy to read thanks to its 1.6” colour screen, it can be configured to show informa-
tion selected by the rider and also comes with audible beeps for notifications and
settings.
REMOVABLE BATTERIES: 800Wh AND 600Wh. YOU CHOOSE
The new Crafty Carbon comes fitted with Bosch’s new 800Wh and 600Wh batteries. All-new and improved and assembled using 21700 cell technology, they offer in-creased efficiency and better energy density than ever before, resulting in a smaller package and reduced overall weight. Combined with the new motor software and electronics of the CX system, the Crafty Carbon is signi- ficantly more efficient than previous gene- rations. The reduced system weight of the motor and 800Wh battery combined results in a 500g weight saving compared to the previous generation Crafty with the 750Wh battery. The Crafty Carbon R and RR come fitted with the 800Wh battery for greater range, while the RR S, XR and RR SL models come with the 600Wh version to keep the weight down. That said, the batteries are removable (and interchangeable) via a quick-lock system.
AIM: OPTIMIZATION
As with the recently released SLY, Crafty Carbon now comes in 5 different sizes thanks to the addition of an ‘ML’ option.
A standout feature is the incorporation of two different chainstay lengths depend-ant on frame size. Chainstay length has a sign- ificant impact on how a bike handles, and gone are the day of one-size-fits-all. By having two different chainstay lengths we can keep the same ‘feel’ of a Crafty Carbon regardless of frame size. Forward Geome-try is thus optimized by adapting chainstay length to frame size. The S, M, and ML sizes get 455mm chainstays, while the L and XL sizes grow by one centime-tre to 465mm, ensuring that regardless of frame size the ride ‘feel’ stays consistent throughout the range. Crafty Carbon is our first bike to offer two different chainstay lengths.
