My new crafty rr weighs 26kg with winter tyres and tubeless.
 
Besides the Mavens and heavy tyres parts used were towards the lighter side but still durable
 
Wow, Bogdan_CH, your modding skills on the Crafty 2025 sound impressive! It's fascinating how you've customized it to the point where only the triangle remains stock. I bet the transformation is quite remarkable. Have you noticed significant performance improvements with your modifications? I'm curious about the specific changes you made and how they've enhanced your riding experience.
 
Hi Charles,

Most parts were changed from day 1 (suspension, wheels, cockpit) , so can't fully relate to the stock build, but it does ride quite amazing. I can directly compare it to my Enduro bike , Pivot Firebird and it's not that far in the rought stuff. The 600wh battery is definetely noticeable for ridding jumpy trails.

Nice looking bike, but maybe I've already told you in some other forum 😄
Where did you find red "Mondraker" stickers? I'm thinking how could look mine in yellow instead of grey.

Very nice looking bike...can i ask how much you spent on mods? and what kind of range you get distance wise? im tossing up a few ideas and close to pulling the trigger on a new bike but i'm new to the ebike scene.
 
Hi guys,

this is my Mondraker Crafty R. I felt in love with this bike at first site 🥰

Modifications so far:
• Continental Kryptotal Fr Enduro S (only summer), Argotal Enduro SS/ Kryptotal Re DH S
• Tatze Link pedals
• Fizik Aidon X5 saddle
• KS Rage Circuit dropper post
• Front brake update to Galfer Shark/Sinter Green (Rear Brake will follow as soon as needed)

Recent Update last week: Shimano XT Di2 Upgrade Kit (8260) providing freeshift 😍 and autoshift 🤪

Only two Updates left (in my opinion):
I just ordered a RS Zeb ultimate red fork (160mm) and a RS super deluxe ultimate shock, will be installed asap. I‘ll keep the Fox suspension which works quite fine after servicing as a Backup suspension, just in case 😬

Greetings from germany,

Stefan

My name is Bond.... James Bond, and this is my "Mondraker"! Super Kool Blade!
 
I've made a few small changes to my 2025 Crafty
. Changed the stem to a 40mm Renthal Apex and cut down the bars
. Changed the dropper lever to a ispec Shimano XTR
. Swapped the tyres to Magic Mary radial/Tacky Chan combo
. Changed the plastic motor cover for a proper alloy bashguard
. Added the LSC knob to the rear shock
I would like a 200mm dropper but i'm not sure that there's enough insertion depth

What is the frame size of your Crafty?

I‘m with the 150mm Rage circuit which fits completely into the m/l frame despite Mondraker claims that it won’t fit (237 vs. 235 mm Insertion length) - but it does 🤗

These are Mondrakers specifications for the recommrned Insertion lengths of the 2025er Crafty:

M: 215 mm
ML: 235 mm
L: 255 mm
XL: 275 mm
KS Insertion lengths of the KS Rage Circuit:
