How do you energize carbon?
At the rear 150 millimetres of travel, the forks with 160 mm travel, the drive comes from Shimano's E8000 series, the tires measure 27.5 Plus: these are the key data that currently characterize some E-Fullies. These data also characterize the brand new Mondraker E-Crusher, but the Spanish bolide has some unique features on board.
The frame for the full-suspension watt bike is made of carbon - in this E-Fully category with carbon fibre frames, there are currently only a few manufacturers with individual models, including Haibike, Specialized, Moustache and Thömus. The carbon frame also reflects Mondraker's typical design language and, of course, the Forward Geometry. This frame design is based on longer top tubes in combination with a shorter stem length. Forward Geometry offers more safety on technical and steep terrain, as the front wheel axle is further forward and therefore ensures greater stability even on extremely steep trails - both uphill and downhill.
In addition to the modern Shimano E8000 drivetrain, the E-Crusher incorporates the latest technology at every turn: these include the Boost installation dimensions, a metric shock with trunnion mount and an integrated mudguard for the shock and rear pivot points or flat-mount brake mounts for simple accommodation of the rear brake.
The Mondraker E-Crusher is available in two equipment variants, and those who can't resist the motorized temptation of carbon will have to be patient until the delivery date in October 2017.
