Megamo Crave CRB 2023

The Megamo Crave CRB is the carbon-framed full-suspension all-mountain/enduro eMTB from Spanish brand Megamo, built on its Full Carbon FSC Technology frame with a carbon swingarm. For 2023 it ran a Shimano EP801 motor (85 Nm) fed by an integrated 762 Wh battery, with 160 mm of travel front and rear on 29in wheels. Geometry is shared across the whole range: a 65 degree head angle, 76 degree effective seat angle and 455 mm chainstays in every size (S/M/L), with reach growing 435 / 459 / 489 mm.The 2023 line comprised five trims on that common frame, motor and battery, differing only on kit. The CRB 05 (5,549 EUR) used a 150 mm Fox 36 Rhythm fork, Fox Float DPS shock, mixed Shimano XT/Deore drivetrain and MT520 brakes. The CRB 03 (6,749 EUR) and CRB 02 (6,099 EUR) stepped up to a 160 mm Fox 38 Factory fork and Fox Float X shock with XT four-piston brakes, the 02 adding Shimano CUES AUTO Di2 electronic shifting and DT Swiss wheels. The flagship ALL-MTN (9,299 EUR) and ENDURO (9,649 EUR) paired the Fox 38 Factory with SRAM XX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless shifting and DT Swiss 1501 wheels, the ENDURO upgrading to a Fox Float X2 shock. All five roll on 29 x 2.6 Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II tyres.This is a discontinued 2023 model: the Crave CRB has been dropped from Megamo's current lineup and its product URL on megamo.com now returns a 404. Note that the CRB (carbon) badge distinguishes it from the alloy Crave AL, a separate frame. Pricing is given in euros from the Spanish manufacturer's per-trim spec sheets; no UK retailer RRP was found, so price_gbp is null (no FX conversion).

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Descending

A solid all-round descender (65° head angle, 160mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.

Size balance

Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.82) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.

Technical climbing

Climbs well — a 76° seat keeps the front planted. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toAll-round trail riding across mixed terrain.

No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.

Watch out forNot a flickable, playful bike — built to plough, not pop.

Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
