Descending

A solid all-round descender (65.5° head angle, 150mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

EMTB Forums verdict
The 2024 Mondraker Dusk was the brand's aluminium full-power enduro eMTB, built around the Zero Suspension System with 150mm of rear travel, a 160mm fork and Mondraker's signature long-reach Forward Geometry. The two-trim 2024 range, Dusk S and Dusk SR, shared a 6061 Alloy Stealth Evo frame, a Shimano STEPS EP600 motor (85Nm) and a non-removable 720Wh internal battery, with an optional 360Wh range-extender for bigger days.
Geometry was identical across both trims and four sizes (S to XL), running a 65.5 degree head angle, a 76 degree effective seat angle, a fixed 455mm chainstay and reaches from 450mm to 510mm. Those reach numbers are long for the size, which is normal for Forward Geometry rather than a data error, and the 350mm bottom bracket height keeps it planted on steep descents. All builds rolled on full 29in wheels.
Spec separated the two trims. The Dusk S paired an Ohlins RXF 38 fork and Ohlins TTX Air shock with SRAM G2 R brakes, while the pricier Dusk SR swapped to a Fox 36 GRIP2 Factory fork, kept the Ohlins TTX Air shock and stepped up to SRAM Code RSC stoppers. Both used a budget-friendly SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain and e*thirteen Grappler Core alloy wheels, a slightly mixed value proposition of high-end suspension and brakes over an entry-level transmission.
The Dusk has since been discontinued. Mondraker did not carry it into 2025 or 2026, folding its full-power enduro role into the redesigned Crafty (now on the Bosch Performance Line CX motor) while the lighter Dune covers the lightweight enduro slot.

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
34
More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.
Size balance
98
Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.78) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.
Technical climbing
75
Shimano EP6 (DU-EP600) and a steep 76° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
Strong up and composed down — a do-it-all, not a specialist.
Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
