This Crafty has to be one of the best looking bikes on the market and fortunately it's not just a looker - this bike is a rocketship!
Mondraker were forward thinking with their geometry. The geo on this Crafty is right inline with what trail e-mtbs are coming with in 2022.29" wheels and the 455mm chainstay make it into a super stable and very well balanced bike. There is so much traction. This bike rocks on open trails, but in switchback corners its a bit harder to turn around. Because it's so planted, it's a bit harder to jump, if you're into jumping.
One stand-out points about this frame (Crafty XR) that I tested there is next no rattle and it's a massive win. The Bosch Gen 4 and battery are the best on the market for range.
This really is a great bike for riding long fast and open trails.
