Zendit 2026

The Mondraker Zendit is the brand's full-power flagship e-enduro, built from the ground up around the Avinox M2S drive unit rather than retrofitted to an existing platform. You get 165 mm of rear travel paired with a 170 mm fork, a Stealth Air full-carbon chassis weighing exactly 3,000 g in size M/L, and the next iteration of Mondraker's Zero suspension kinematics tuned specifically for what the motor can output. Complete bikes land between 22.8 and 23.1 kg depending on trim. The community read is consistent: this is a stable, confidence-inspiring descender that rewards aggressive riders but punishes hesitation, and @drive2race4fun sums it up bluntly as the rough-trail tool of choice over a flowier rival.

Drive system and range. At the heart of the Zendit is the Avinox M2S, a 2.65 kg unit putting out 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm in Boost Mode) with 1300 W peak and 250 W nominal power , and an 800% assistance ceiling. Boost mode gives you up to 60 seconds of 150 Nm torque and max 1300 Watts power output for extreme terrain , with a multi-sensor fusion algorithm pulling data from a built-in IMU, torque, cadence and wheel speed sensors to meter assistance. @notaninfluencer has logged peaks at 1500 W on the lighter battery configurations elsewhere in the range, but on the Zendit's integrated pack you're looking at the 1300 W figure.

The battery is an 800 Wh integrated Avinox unit weighing roughly 3.77 kg, and crucially it is not removable on this frame. Mondraker quote self-discharge, State Of Health management and Voltage Reduction to maximise battery life, maintaining 80% of capacity after 500 charge cycles . Five ride modes (Eco, Auto, Trail, Turbo, Boost) are fully customisable through the Avinox Ride app, and the bar-mounted DP100 touchscreen also offers 65w PD 3.0 fast charging output via USB C port plus action camera control and digital motor lock. For big days, @Donncha notes the frame can accommodate roughly a 300 W range extender, which matches what Amflow riders are doing with the sibling drive system. One ownership flag worth knowing: @Thomas46 reports a noticeable rattle from the M2S unit on early bikes, an issue that has dogged Avinox-powered frames more broadly and is typically addressed via firmware and bedding-in.

Geometry and handling. Mondraker offer the Zendit in five sizes (S, M, M/L, L, XL) with reach from 440 to 520 mm in the standard setting, and a flip-chip drops you into a Low position that trims 4 mm of reach and 5 mm of bottom bracket height. In standard trim you get a 63.5° head angle, 77° effective seat angle and 345 mm BB height; the Low setting takes those to 63.15°, 76.65° and 340 mm. A separate chainstay flip-chip extends the rear end by 7 mm to accommodate a full 29" rear wheel without altering BB height or key angles, which is a genuinely clever bit of engineering.

Chainstays are proportional: 450 mm on S/M/M/L and 455 mm on L/XL, with pivot placement tweaked to preserve the same leverage curve across the range. Wheelbase runs from 1241 mm (S) to 1339 mm (XL). Sizing is the recurring debate point. @ntm95 argues the M/L is effectively a large in conventional sizing and recommends it for 6' riders, with the L sitting closer to XL territory. @Donncha, at 172 cm and 68 kg, was cross-shopping the Medium against the Amflow PX Pro, which gives you a useful reference point at the shorter end. @Motohawk75 pushes back on the idea that the wheelbase is excessive, pointing out the numbers are in line with most other long-travel enduro bikes once you account for travel.

Build and value. Three trims, all on the same carbon chassis with the same Avinox M2S drive unit and 800 Wh battery. The Zendit RR at £7,399 (22.8 kg) is the value pick: Fox 38 Factory GRIP X2 fork, Fox Float X Factory Evol LV shock, SRAM Maven Base brakes with Centerline 200 mm rotors, DT Swiss Hybrid H 1900 alloy wheels and a SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain. The Onoff Pija dropper is the obvious downgrade versus the higher trims, and the Maven Base brakes use organic pads rather than the sintered metal pads further up the ladder, but the chassis and motor are unchanged.

The RR S at £9,299 (22.9 kg) swaps the Fox 38 for the new Fox Podium with a 20x110 mm thru-axle, fits a Fox Transfer Factory Kashima dropper, and upgrades to SRAM Maven Silver brakes with HS2 rotors and sintered pads. This is the sweet spot in the range for most buyers. The XR at £10,999 (23.1 kg) adds the Fox Float X2 Factory shock, SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes with a 220 mm front HS2 rotor, the carbon DT Swiss Hybrid HXC 1500 wheels, RockShox Reverb AXS dropper and SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type. It is also offered as a frameset. Every trim runs Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5 front and Minion DHR II 27.5x2.5 rear, MX as standard with the option to flip-chip into full 29".

Community-verified strengths. Three things come up repeatedly from owners. First, descending composure: @Donncha describes the RR S as stable and confident on the way down provided you commit to the speed. Second, the rough-trail bias: @drive2race4fun picks the Zendit specifically for rocky, rooty single track over flowier alternatives, where its stability and travel pay off. Third, the geometry actually scales sensibly across sizes once you accept Mondraker's naming convention, with @Motohawk75 repeatedly defending the medium-large numbers as conventional enduro territory rather than DH-derived.

Caveats and known gripes. The integrated 800 Wh battery is the most consequential limitation: there is no quick swap for a second pack, so big-day riders are tied to charging or to a range extender. The seat tube is taller than some rivals and dropper insertion is the obvious compromise of the Zero linkage, a point @Rob Rides EMTB makes when comparing VPP-style platforms generally. The bike is not playful in the way a lighter, shorter-travel rival is; @drive2race4fun is explicit that on flow trails it is not as poppy as the Amflow, and @bmwpowere36m3 warns against assuming bigger is always better just because the motor masks the weight. The early M2S motor rattle @Thomas46 flagged is worth confirming on collection.

Verdict. The Zendit is a serious, fully committed full-power e-enduro that delivers on its brief: long travel, modern geometry, an integrated 800 Wh pack and a 130/150 Nm motor that pulls hard when you ask for it. Buy it if you ride steep, rough, technical terrain and want a bike that will absorb mistakes and reward speed. Look elsewhere, perhaps at a lighter SL or the more agile Amflow PX, if your trails are flowy, you value pop over plow, or you need a removable battery for genuinely huge days. Of the three trims the RR S at £9,299 is the strongest balance of fork, brakes and dropper for the money, while the RR at £7,399 is the smart buy if you can live with the alloy wheels and organic-pad brakes. Production status is current for 2026, with the Avinox drive unit and DT Swiss wheel packages now fully launched.
