Mondraker SLY RR

The Performance Line SX motor is designed for a more natural, intuitive ride. It provides assistance that feels like an extension of your own pedaling effort rather than a surge of power, making it ideal for riders who want the agility of a traditional mountain bike with just enough boost for climbs.

The 400Wh battery is optimized for weight savings and agility rather than maximum range. While it is perfect for shorter, high-intensity rides or technical loops, riders planning all-day epics may need to manage their assist modes carefully or consider a range extender.

With 160mm of front travel and 150mm in the rear, this bike is built for aggressive trail riding and technical descents. Its geometry excels on tight, twisty singletrack where handling and responsiveness are more important than pure straight-line speed.

The AXS system is highly reliable and requires less maintenance than traditional cable-actuated derailleurs because there are no cables to stretch or housing to clog. You will simply need to keep the small battery on the derailleur charged, which is easily done with the provided charger.

Mondraker’s signature Forward Geometry provides excellent stability and confidence when the trail opens up. The longer reach and slack head angle help keep the bike planted and predictable, even when you are pushing through rough, technical sections.

While the SLY RR is a high-performance machine, its intuitive handling and smooth motor assistance make it accessible for intermediate riders looking to upgrade. However, beginners might find the aggressive geometry and high-end suspension setup more bike than they need initially.
