DUNE: SOMETHING SPECIAL IN ITS CLASS
The Mondraker Dune R 2024 pushes the boundaries of Mondraker's light e-Bikes. Building upon the NEAT's celebrated characteristics of lightness and agility, the DUNE carves a distinct path by incorporating the power and performance expected from a Mondraker full suspension electric mountain bike... similar to longer travel, burlier bikes like the SUPERFOXY and LEVEL.
This innovative e-MTB transcends categorization. Our review confirmed it hit the bullseye in terms of delivering playful handling and potent capabilities. Imagine a super enduro shrunk down to a light e-bike format, tipping the scales at a remarkable sub-20kg weight. The DUNE's foundation is the remarkable Stealth Air Carbon frame, a marvel of engineering weighing a mere 2,650 grams. This lightweight platform is paired with Bosch's latest Performance SX motor, renowned for its perfect balance of power and efficiency. The result? A light and responsive ride with enough muscle to tackle demanding terrain.
TWO DUNES: 2009 TO 2024
The original DUNE (2009) was Mondraker's first bike with Zero Suspension, built for enduro racing with an aluminum frame and 160mm travel (170mm fork option on XR). It remained in production until 2020, with a carbon fiber version available in the last five years.
DUNE-NEAT: FAMILY TIES
Unlike other Mondraker electric mountain bikes such as the NEAT, the DUNE prioritizes aggressive riding with a lightweight build. This e-MTB boasts a Stealth Air Carbon frame, long-travel suspension, mixed-wheel sizes, and a powerful Bosch SX motor. Despite this aggressive setup, the DUNE stays remarkably light at under 20kg, making it a true contender in Mondraker's Superenduro category.
THE FRAME: 100% MONDRAKER IDENTITY
The DUNE boasts a lightweight (2,650g) Stealth Air Carbon frame, the pinnacle of Mondraker's carbon fiber technology. Its angular lines and integrated features, like a monobloc rocker linkage and a top-tube mounted Bosch controller, create a sleek and functional design. The frame even includes a bottle cage mount that can be swapped for a range extender if desired.
THE SUSPENSION: UPDATED ZERO SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Building on Mondraker's latest advancements, the DUNE utilises their Updated Zero Suspension System. This system keeps the shock lower and the swingarm more compact, improving stiffness, reducing weight, and offering better shock performance.
KINEMATICS: OPTIMISED
The DUNE's suspension is meticulously tuned for its long travel, balancing suppleness with pedaling efficiency for a dynamic ride.
GEOMETRY: FORWARD
The DUNE is designed around Mondraker's Forward Geometry for high-speed stability. This translates to a slack head angle (further accentuated on the XR model), a steeper seat angle for climbing efficiency, and mid-length chainstays that balance stability with agility on mixed wheels.
MOTOR: BOSCH SX. THE SWEET SPOT
The DUNE pairs perfectly with the powerful Bosch Performance Line SX motor, offering 55Nm of torque and impressive peak power. This lightweight motor, combined with the integrated 400Wh battery, provides ample range. DUNE is also compatible with Bosch's optional 250Wh range extender, boosting range by 60% to match a full-power Mondraker e-MTB while maintaining the DUNE's agility advantage. The Bosch system offers easy control through a top-tube controller, handlebar remote, and Kiox display with various riding modes and data tracking.
