    Mondraker Crafty R sizing advice

    Hi, we are a Mondraker dealer. I am the same height as you. I would say from my experience and manufacturer input that the advice is still a L frame. Sizing is very personal, but that is what I would go with. Crafty R has a 30mm stem so this offsets the reach in my view. Happy to provide any...

    First ebike conundrum

    From our experience, Brose motor has more instant low end shove than the Shimano, which are more subtle and tailored to react depending on your inputs and cadence. Brose generally quieter. All will work perfectly fine though.

    First ebike conundrum

    Fantic XTF 1.5 sport ( 29 front and rear ) or XMF 1.7 ( 27.5 rear 29 front mullet ) both easily fit the bill, start at around 4k. Brose 90nm motor, big battery and excellent components, great frames. Fantic website or ours for details. We have demo's if you wanted to try some. Or look at...

    That's easy to explain, they don't spend the money on marketing. Specialized etc do. Same story with many lesser known brands, but that doesn't mean the bikes are any the worse. Usually you get something interesting and different, with the exact same parts and a better value for money. My...

    Fantic is an Italian brand, established in 1968. They use a German Brose S Mag motor on most models, and the latest Yamaha motor on the new low end models. Big range, lots of choice of travel/ frame / geometry and weight. All ride really well, are really nicely finished and specced.

    We sell bikes with Brose, Bosch and Shimano Motors and they all work well. Brose S Mag is the punchiest and quietest on most frame sets, though it does seem to vary. Bosch is great, a touch noisier but really smooth. Shimano, slightly noisier, more reactive to your input so while the other two...

    Currently that model is £7299 but there are ways to reduce that. I won't put a link on here but google fantic.com and you will find it. They are really lovely bikes, theres an Audi E-Tron Spec version just released and they also make some variants of their models for Yamaha . There is also a...

    If you are wanting an awesome bike with low weight, look also at the Fantic 1.6 Carbon Race. Same motor as Specialized (90nm Brose S Mag ) 720 battery Carbon wheels/ frame/ bars and wireless AXS groupset. Weight is brilliant at around 21kg with battery. Fantic have just made a version of this...

    Is there a better e-bike for under £5k than the vitus e-sommet vrs?

    R 120, you are entitled to your opinion but stating that Fantic bikes are a joke is taking a bit far in my view. There's nothing wrong with any of their bikes, they are high quality efficient and reliable designs which look great , ride beautifully and are very well specified. We have had no...

    Advice on buying first emtb

    As a dealer, we would say buy the bike you like and that feels right, don't worry to much about supposed issues with motors. We get so few problems with either Brose ( same as Specialized fit ) or Shimano. And you always have warranty. Maybe you will like our Carbon options from Fantic also...
