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

EMTB Forums verdict
The Megamo Crave CRB is the carbon-framed sibling of the alloy Crave AL, built around Megamo's Full Carbon FSC Technology frame with a carbon swingarm. It is a full-power all-mountain eMTB on 29in wheels, with 160mm of rear travel and a Shimano EP801 motor (85 Nm) fed by a 762 Wh integrated battery. Geometry is identical across the range, with a 65 degree head angle, 76 degree seat angle and 455mm chainstays at every size.
The 2024 line spans five trims sharing that frame, motor and battery but differing on kit. The CRB 05 (5,649 EUR) runs a 150mm Fox 36 Rhythm with a mixed Shimano XT/Deore drivetrain and MT520 brakes; the CRB 03 (6,899 EUR) and CRB 02 (7,149 EUR) step up to a 160mm Fox 38 Factory fork with Fox Float X shock and XT four-piston brakes, the 02 adding a Shimano CUES AUTO Di2 electronic shift and DT Swiss wheels. The flagship ALL-MTN (9,449 EUR) and ENDURO (9,849 EUR) pair 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 2024 model and is no longer listed on megamo.com. Note the CRB (carbon) badge distinguishes it from the alloy Crave AL, which is a separate frame. Pricing is given in euros from the official Spanish manufacturer pages, as no UK retailer listing was found.
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
Playfulness
23
More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.
Size balance
91
Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.82) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.
Technical climbing
69
Climbs well — a 76° seat keeps the front planted. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.
Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
