Descending
65
A solid all-round descender (64.5° head angle, 150mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

EMTB Forums verdict
The Crafty Unlimited Icon is Mondraker's tenth-anniversary halo build of the full-power Crafty: a Stealth Air full-carbon enduro eMTB on 160mm of Ohlins RXF 38 M.3 up front and 150mm out back via the Zero Suspension System, here paired with an Ohlins TTX22 M.2 coil shock. Forward Geometry keeps the reach long and the head angle slack at 64.5 degrees, with a flip-chip in the lower shock mount dropping to 64.15 degrees and a lower bottom bracket.
The drive unit is Bosch's Performance Line CX-R Smart System (fifth generation), updatable to 120 Nm and 600% assistance, fed by a removable 800Wh PowerTube with an optional 250Wh range extender. That is a serious power and capacity package for big enduro days.
The build is essentially the parts bin emptied: SRAM XX Eagle AXS T-Type, Trickstuff Maxima four-piston brakes on 203mm rotors, a carbon DT Swiss HXC1200 wheelset, Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II 29x2.5 tyres and a RockShox Reverb AXS dropper. At an 11,699 GBP RRP it is priced as the flagship it is.
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
17
More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.
Size balance
90
Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.83) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.
Technical climbing
87
Bosch Performance Line CX-R Gen 5 and a steep 77.95° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 750W of peak power and 120Nm of torque — among the most powerful e-bike motors made.
Strong up and composed down — a do-it-all, not a specialist.
Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.

⚙️ Adjustable geometry: this frame has a high/low setting — low drops the BB and slackens the head angle for more descending stability; high lifts the BB and steepens slightly for clearance and a perkier, more playful feel.
Computed from geometry + spec, not a paid review. Scores are guidance, not gospel.
