How it compares
With 160 mm at the fork, the Mondraker Neat sits above average: across the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database, the median is 150 mm. The rear offers 150 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Mondraker’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Mondraker Prime and the Mondraker Dune on travel. The frame is made of carbon.
With a starting price of €8,499 (R), the Mondraker Neat is above the category median (€5,500). The top build, Unlimited Gulf, costs €13,999. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox LYRIK Select Charger RC 29 to the Fox 36 29 Float GRIP X2 Factory Kashima. Drive comes from TQ HPR-50, paired with 360 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox LYRIK Select Charger RC 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.
- Air shock (RockShox Super Deluxe Select): 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 Neat
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 (all builds)
| 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 |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.60″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi).
| 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.
