While the bike industry currently seems to be battling strong headwinds, no one seems to have told Mondraker. Against a backdrop of demand suppressed by rapidly rising prices, and a market flooded with excess units, the Spanish brand enjoyed growth of 50% last year. To thank for this enviable success are rising sales of its e-bikes, and chiefly the Crafty trail/enduro model. That 160/150mm-travel category seems to be the sweet spot for the brand at the moment, and where demand is strongest. To bolster this segment, dip its toes into a growing sub-category, and hopefully attract a new audience, Mondraker has launched this brand new lightweight e-mtb. It’s called the Neat, and it’s basically a Foxy with a motor.
What it’s not is Mondraker’s first sub-20kg
