Mondraker Crafty R 2022

Connect, disconnect, and ride with no limitations. The new Crafty benefits from a significant weight reduction, refined suspension kinematics and market leading Bosch motors and Bosch Smart Systems to help you connect with your e-bike and disconnect from the daily grind.

Featuring our World Cup proven FORWARD GEOMETRY, ZERO SUSPENSION SYSTEM and STEALTH ALLOY the Crafty delivers performance and value whilst never compromising on ride quality.  Suspension sits at 160mm in the front and 150mm behind.

FORWARD GEOMETRY has proven to be the geometry benchmark for high-end performance mountain bikes nowadays and this is one of our proprietary most unique leading technologies to date. Every year we keep refining the concept and for 2022 we have applied slight geometry changes to improve performance even more, increasing riding efficiency and control.

Common feature for the last three seasons is the introduction of shorter fork offsets which perfectly match FORWARD GEOMETRY with clear performance gains: increased stability at speed, better front wheel control and dramatically improved front tire grip. Extensive testing has proved that shorter fork offsets have its biggest and superior benefits in combination with our genuine and distinctive FORWARD GEOMETRY concept with its super responsive and direct steering featuring FG30mm stem and long reach. The increase in trail boosts steering stability. The result: Shorter offsets combined with FORWARD GEOMETRY translates into a more playful ride, the feeling that you can attack harder in corners with extra confidence and added grip as a bonus, and a more enjoyable and faster ride overall.

ZERO is a dual link design with the shock floating between the two suspension links and compressed from both ends. This makes the rear suspension extremely sensitive on small bumps and big hit capable.

ZERO superior technologies’ main advantages are ZERO power loss -a completely stable ride when pedalling-, ZERO pedal kickback-minimum chain growth throughout the suspension travel-, ZERO brake jack – isolated braking and suspension forces - and what we call ZERO bumps, its great ability to soak up any type of bump keeping the rear wheel efficiently planted on the ground.

STEALTH ALLOY encompasses all processes in the creation of the frame, from the industrial design to the specific production of each of its tubes with the calculation of the most precise details. Each tube and part is carefully designed to carry out a specific function while striving to achieve the lowest possible weight. Stealth technology is evolving every year with optimised shapes and internal updates to deliver the best riding experience in our aluminium frames.
