How it compares

With 160–170 mm of fork travel, the Mondraker Crafty is on the shorter side; the median of the 56 comparable bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category is 170 mm. Within Mondraker’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Mondraker Prime and the Mondraker Dune on travel. The frame is made of carbon.

The starting price of €6,499 (Carbon S) is roughly in line with the category median (€6,900). For the Carbon Gulf Unlimited build, Mondraker asks €13,999. For suspension, Mondraker combines components from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. In total, 9 different forks are used, from the RockShox ZEB Base 29 to the Öhlins RXF 38 M.3 29. With the Fox DHX2 Factory Kashima, the XR build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG. Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line CX or Bosch Performance Line CX R or Bosch Performance Line CX RACE, paired with 600–800 Wh of battery capacity.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (RockShox ZEB Base 29): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
Coil spring (Fox DHX2 Factory Kashima): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
Air shock (RockShox Super Deluxe Base): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.

Target SAG for the Mondraker Crafty

The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Mondraker specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.

160 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (Carbon S, S, Carbon R, R, Carbon RR, RR, Carbon RR S, RR S, RR SL, Carbon Gulf Unlimited)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 27 mm	24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 32 mm	28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 35 mm	30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 32 mm	27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft

170 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (XR)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 29 mm	24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 34 mm	28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 37 mm	30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 34 mm	27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough.

Ready-to-ride weight	Front	Rear
60 kg	1.40 bar (20 psi)	1.60 bar (23 psi)
70 kg	1.52 bar (22 psi)	1.72 bar (25 psi)
80 kg	1.64 bar (24 psi)	1.84 bar (27 psi)
90 kg	1.76 bar (26 psi)	1.96 bar (28 psi)
100 kg	1.88 bar (27 psi)	2.08 bar (30 psi)
110 kg	2.00 bar (29 psi)	2.20 bar (32 psi)
120 kg	2.12 bar (31 psi)	2.32 bar (34 psi)

Air pressure in the fork and shock

You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.

Note: no guarantee is given. Specs can vary by model year, size and country; the type plate, the manual and Mondraker are authoritative. The maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims always apply.
