Mondraker are known for their slim, straight-lined frame silhouettes and Zero Suspension design, which they use across their entire full-suspension mountain bike range. Mondraker’s virtual pivot suspension system with dual link design generates up to 200 mm of travel, with the Summum DH bike generating the most travel in Mondraker’s portfolio.

The Alicante-based manufacturer started building eMTBs in 2015, and has a huge e-bike portfolio that covers a wide range of applications, from trekking to enduro. They even have an electric gravel bike called the Dusty, which our sister magazine GRANFONDO has already tested for you. While up until now, Mondraker have always relied on motors from Bosch and MAHLE, the new NEAT comes equipped with a German drive system, the TQ HPR50.
