Mondraker Crafty Carbon R

Crafty Carbon counts on an all-new carbon fibre frame manufactured from Stealth Air Carbon. There are 5 builds available in 5 different sizes, with two different chainstay lengths depending on size. The R build features a carbon fibre frame with an aluminium rear triangle.Mondraker’s Zero Suspension system and Forward Geometry, optimised for the Crafty platform are combined to maximise traction, stability and control on any terrain.NEW FORWARD GEOMETRYThe kinematics have been optimised too, with the new Crafty Carbon range taking advantage of our updated Zero Suspension System to offer better small bump compliance, better shock absorption and better top-out characteristics. Grip when climbing also receives a significant boost, regardless of terrain.BOSCH CX PERFORMANCE: LATEST VERSIONA significant update to the new Crafty Carbon range, is the addition of the highly anticipated, totally revamped 2025 Bosch Performance CX. 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 mechanical rattles when riding downhill have been eliminated altogether.  The CX’s new software and electronics, together with the improved kinematics of the new Zero Suspension System, mean the Crafty Carbon offers improved performance in all conditions and on all terrain types. The new motor also boasts reduced drag when pedalling above 25km/hAs 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 dependant on frame size. Chainstay length has a significant 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 Geometry 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 centimetre 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.
