FAQS

ALL NEW ONFF BRANDED COMPONENTS AND NEW DROPPERS AS WELL, ALSO NEW FOX TRANSFER SEATPOST, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADJUST THEM?
2025 OnOff Pija and FOX Transfer droppers are lighter and all new for 2025. Both models feature more compact designs, new actuation levers, lower stack heights and 5mm steps to reduce its total stroke for a total of 25mm in each model size. Both of them are air-pressure adjustable (schrader valve sits under the seat clamps of the dropper) so you can tune both FOX and OnOff droppers to your preferred return speed.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL DIRECTIONS OR CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE BATTERY?
Nothing special. You can view the remaining battery life at the Purion 400 display on the screen or through the 5 LED bars at the System Controller on the top tube. Each LED equals to 20% range and when any LED turns white it means 10% consumption has been reached on any of the remaining bars. When any bar turns off it means 20% battery life has been used. When there is 30% battery life remaining the 2 blue LED still on, will turn orange. When there's only 10% battery life the only orange LED on will turn red. Even with less than 30% or 10% or less battery remaining motor output will stay constant and not reduced to a lower wattage as it happens on other motor systems different from Bosch.

CAN I CARRY A WATER BOTTLE?
Yes you can. There are 2 possible locations for a water bottle cage, in the main frame, the standard position as on any other bike and below the top tube. You can also install a PowerMore range extender on top of the main tube and carry a water bottle under the top tube at the same time.

HOW FAR/LONG CAN YOU GO ON WITH THE NEW CRAFTY CARBON?
This is always a tricky question and also depends on the level of assistance you are using, rider fitness, rider weight and riding conditions. With the new PT800Wh battery an average rider with 80 kgs riding weight can climb around 2.000m/6.500ft elevation gain (1.500m/5.000ft with PT600Wh battery) combining different support modes and ride as much as 4 hours in ECO-TOUR+ modes. Again, depending on riding conditions and rider physical level. The 250Wh PowerMore range extender would increase +30% (with PT800Wh battery) / +40% (with PT600Wh battery) riding time / distance with only 1.5 kg extra weight.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY?
The PowerMore 800Wh battery takes around 6h to be fully charged while the 600Wh takes around 4,5h if fully discharged. If you have a PowerMore range extender, it needs to be charged separately and takes around 2,5 hours to be fully charged. HOW MUCH DOES THE NEW FRAME WEIGH? There are 2 different 2025 Crafty Carbon frames. A full Stealth Air Carbon frameset on models RR S, XR and RR SL which weight is around the same compared with the previous M-sized 2020-2024 Crafty Carbon at around 3.100 grams for the complete painted frame complete with hardware and accessories without rear shock in ML size. Crafty Carbon R and RR with Stealth Alloy frame weight is around 3.650 grams compared.

IS THE CRAFTY CARBON COMPATIBLE WITH 27,5" REAR WHEEL?
You could technically ride a smaller 27,5" rear wheel but the bike has not been designed to run a mullet set-up and the motor would not offer the optimum performance as the wheel diameter would be altered. The smaller wheel circumference will affect the accuracy of the speed reading and cannot be adjusted. For example, switching to a 27.5 x 2.6" rear wheel and tyre combination will reduce cut-off speed by about 1 or 2 km/h.. and probably with the magnet speed sensor on the rear smaller diameter wheel the motor might not work properly. Geometry will be heavily compromised as well with angles changing -1.5º and bottom bracket dropping -13/-15mm and, more importantly, Mondraker does not cover the warranty riding anything different from the stock 29" rear wheel.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CUSTOMISE THE ASSISTANCE MODES ON THE CRAFTY CARBON?
You can customise the Crafty's Bosch Performance CX motor assistance modes the same way as other motor systems in Bosch's motor line-up with the Flow App. Log into the Flow App, turn the bike on and connect to your Crafty to customise the motor output Support, initial pedaling assistance through Dynamic, maximum kms/h / mph with the 25kms/h / 20mph assistance and 85 max Nm torque individually on the 4 support modes ECO, TOUR+, EMTB and TURBO.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE INTERNAL BATTERY?
Yes. New Crafty Carbon allow to easily remove the internal battery. It's very simple just undo the top 5mm allen bolt on the upper bottom side of the main tube and the battery will come off to charge it outside the bike, change it or simply cleaning or perform bike maintenance.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE DISPLAY ON THE HANDLEBAR?
Yes. It is possible to remove the Purion 400 handlebar display and ride without it or even fit a larger display like the Kiox 500.. whatever. With no display, through the System Controller on top of the frame you can view how much battery is remaining as well as manage support modes through the Mini-Remote switch on the left side of the handlebar.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN A LARGER 220MM REAR BRAKE ROTOR ON CRAFTY CARBON?
Yes, the Crafty Carbon is compatible with larger rear brake rotors up until 220mm. With the latest powerful brake models such as the SRAM Maven and trends this is something we don't really recommend, but it's possible to fit them on the Crafty Carbon models.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE DETAILS ABOUT BOSCH's BDU384Y PERFORMANCE CX MOTOR, WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION?
Follow this link from BOSCH: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/performance-line-cx

MY CRAFTY CARBON FEATURES A SRAM T-TYPE TRANSMISSION, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO RUN A SHIMANO DRIVETRAIN AND REAR DERAILLEUR?
Yes, totally. Just make sure you'd need to install a UDH derailleur hanger for the Shimano rear derailleur.

THE NEW CABLE ROUTING IS EXTERNAL THROUGH THE HEADTUBE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN THE CABLES INTERNALLY THROUGH THE HEADSET AS WITH THE PREVIOUS CRAFTY CARBON MODELS?
Yes you can. The new headset upper cup is ready to route the cables through it and run a completely internal guiding if you prefer it this way.

THE NEW PERFORMANCE CX MOTOR AND BATTERIES ARE SAID TO BE LIGHTER COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS GENERATION, BUT HOW MUCH LIGHTER?
Directly compared the new 2025 (BDU384Y) Performance CX new motor is 2.830 grams, 130 grams lighter compared with the previous model at 2.960 grams. New batteries are also lighter, the new Powertube 800Wh is 3.990 grams and the new Powertube 600Wh is 3.070 grams. Directly compared with the previous 2020-2024 Crafty Carbon framesets with Performance CX previous generation and heavier 4.370 grams Powertube 750Wh battery, the new 2025 Crafty Carbon frameset (complete frame + new 800Wh battery) is around 500 grams lighter and more efficient with updated motor performance and latest generation 21700 battery cells. Powertube 600Wh battery is 920 grams lighter compared to the new PowerTube 800Wh.

WHEN RIDING WITH THE POWERMORE RANGE EXTENDER, WHICH BATTERY IS DISCHARGED FIRST, THE INTERNAL ONE OR THE EXTENDER?
To maintain the proper power output from the motor, both batteries discharge at the same time. This is key for proper battery life and constant motor assistance. If you install a Powermore when you are running out of the internal battery, the Powermore will be used as the main battery supply until both charges (internal and extender) are equal and then, both will be equally discharged until fully drained.

SRAM LATEST GENERATION T-TYPE REAR DERAILLEURS CAN WORK DIRECTLY PLUGGED INTO THE BIKE'S MAIN BATTERY, IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO SO HERE WITH THE LATEST CRAFTY MODELS?
Yes you technically can, you would need to buy the proper accessories and run the charging cable internally to the main battery to do so.

THERE ARE 2 NEW BATTERY SIZES 800WH AND 600WH, WILL THEY BOTH FIT MY NEW CRAFTY CARBON?
Yes, all new Crafty Carbon models allow to either run the Powertube 800Wh or the 600Wh batteries. If your bike comes with one or the other, you can buy a spare one and fit it on your bike depending on your preferences. Make sure you also get the required adaptors (to fit both, the smaller sized 600Wh in case your bike comes stock with the 800Wh and the other way around as battery heights are different as so are the adaptors) to fit it properly inside. Additionaly you would want to buy an extra battery cover from your Mondraker dealer (this way you'd have 2 swappable, ready to go batteries) or technically disassemble the stock one bolted into the stock battery and install it on the new one, but the foam inside between both 600 and 800 battery options is not the same either. Older and heavier 750Wh and 625Wh batteries could perfectly work on the new 2025 Crafty Carbon models but Mondraker does not supply the adaptors required to fit them with the all-new Crafty Carbon frames. The bike would also work with the PowerMore range extender and no internal battery but Bosch do not recommend it or the bike is intended to be ridden only with the range extender as its name suggests.

THERE ARE TWO GEOMETRY POSITIONS NOW, HOW DOES IT WORK?
New Crafty Carbon offer 2 geo positions via a flip chip. The standard position is the one that the bike comes as stock and there is a low position where the bottom bracket will drop by 5mm and head angle will change – 0,35º. It is a very simple operation. Undo the shock bottom bolt with a 5mm allen key and flip both aluminium pieces on both sides of the bike as pictured on the frame. Install the shock bolt again and you are done. You can check all the complete geometry numbers at the Mondraker website.

WHAT IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN FITTING A POWERMORE?
Bosch offers different sizes of the connecting cable for the PowerMore range extender, you will need the 150mm length for all Crafty Carbon models and bike sizes. Bosch part number is: BCH3923_150 / EB12.120.036. It's also important to note that there exist 2 PowerMore types that you have to consider depending on where you live: PowerMore, EU28, CH, NO, AUS, NZ (Bosch part number BBP3620 / EB12.100.05G) and US, CAN, KOR (Bosch part number BBP3625 / EB12.100.05H)

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS CRAFTY CARBON 2020-2024 MODELS AND THE NEW ONE?
Both models are very similar in concept, but frames, kinematics, geometry, motor, batteries.. are different and the latest model is completely evolved from the previous ones. New 2025 Crafty Carbon models feature an all new Stealth Air Carbon main frame with 2 different swingarm options Stealth Air Carbon or Stealth Alloy. This new Crafty model is available in 5 sizes, offers 2 geo options adjustable via flip-chip and size specific chainstay lengths: the standard 455mm on sizes S, M and ML and the longer 465mm chainstay length on sizes L and XL as well. 2025 Crafty Carbon also specs the latest generation of Bosch's Performance CX motor and 800Wh and 600Wh batteries for the greatest riding experience.

WHICH BIKE SIZE DO I NEED?
The new 2025 Crafty Carbon feature a 5 sizes concept with a ML size in between sizes Medium and Large. Compared with the previous 4 sizes option Crafty's previous generation, the new Small and Medium sizes are slightly smaller compared to the previous Small and Medium 4-size offerings and the new Large and Extra Large are slightly larger as well. Check the geometry charts for further information and all details. Here's a glipse of the recommended sizing for a given rider height.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES THE CRAFTY DISPLAY OFFER?
You can find all display and remote manual information following this link from BOSCH: https://www.boschebike.com/en/products/purion-400

WAHT IS THE MAXIMUM ASSISTANCE I CAN GET FROM THE CRAFTY CARBON'S BOSCH PERFORMANCE CX MOTOR?
The new (BDU384Y) Performance CX motor from Bosch offers 85Nm and 600W of peak power. Even though these numbers equal the ones from its predecessor, our tests at Mondraker have proven that its potential is actually superior to the previous generation.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM FORK TRAVEL ON THE CRAFTY CARBON?
The Crafty Carbon is compatible with forks up to 170mm travel or 590mm axle to crown. XR model specs a 170mm front fork.

WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM TYRE WIDTH THAT CAN FIT ON CRAFTY CARBON?
Crafty Carbon is compatible with tyres up to 66mm wide which translate into 29"x 2.6" tyres. It is recommended to measure the tyre before installing as the real width might be different depending on the manufacturer.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SEATPOST INSERTION ON CRAFTY CARBON MODELS?
This chart illustrates the measurements for seatpost insertion for either standardor dropper models.

FRAME SIZE MIN. (mm) MAX. (mm)
XL 100 275
L 100 255
ML 100 235
M 100 215
S 100 180

WHAT KINEMATIC PDATES DOES THE ALL NEW 2025 CRAFTY CARBON OFFER?
The Zero Suspension design and layout has been updated and improved following the latest performance evolutions seen on other latest generation Mondraker full suspension bikes. It would be difficult to sum up all the details but the updated Zero kinematics on 2025 Crafty Carbon offer a 24% progression rate, higher leverage ratio becoming more supple and sensitive off the top, feature a slightly lower anti-squat and anti-rise curves for a more capable and better overall performing rear suspension.

WHICH SHOCKS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW CRAFTY CARBON?
In addition to the FOX Float X, Öhlins TTX 22m.2 and FOX Float shocks we spec for the different models, the Crafty Carbon is also compatible with the FOX DHX coil series, Float X2 and any RockShox and Öhlins air or coil model. Crafty Carbon feature metric 185x55mm sized shocks with Trunnion upper mount and bottom 30x8mm standard hardware. Check before installing any other bigger rear shock as it might not fit.

WHICH TYPE OF MAINTENANCE OR SAFETY CHECKS DO BOSCH PERFORMANCE CX MOTOR REQUIRE?
Absolutely none. Nor is it required to lubricate any parts in the drive unit nor disassemble it... all you have to do is take care for it as a traditional mountain bike. It is important to mention, however, as a precaution applicable to any mountain bike: electronic parts and, specifically, the bottom bracket area of the drive unit should never be cleaned with any high-pressure cleaning machine. It is not recommended to use highpressure water jet to clean the cranks axle directly as the electronic parts of the drive unit can be seriously damaged.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD A BATTERY EXTENDER TO INCREASE THE RANGE AND RIDE LONGER?
Yes, as on any of the latest Bosch's motor systems, there is a Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender "waterbottle" mount style. It weighs 1.450 grams or 1.525 grams including Bosch's side-specific mounting bracket and connecting cable. You will enjoy longer range compared to the internal 600Wh (+40%) or 800Wh (+30%) Powertube batteries.
