mondraker kinderfahrrad Mondraker Neat RR Bike

The Mondraker Neat RR Bike is a light eMTB built around a specific premise: an electric assist system that adds capability without fundamentally changing how a mountain bike feels to ride. The TQ-HPR50 motor at the center of this bike is one of the lightest and quietest drive units in the eMTB market — a harmonic pin ring system delivering 300W of power and 50Nm of torque, integrated with a 360Wh removable battery for a total motor-plus-battery system weight of 3.9 kg. At 41.2 lbs complete, the Neat RR sits well below most full-power eMTBs and rides accordingly: responsive, flickable, and trail-oriented rather than heavy-hauler.

The frame is built on Mondraker's Stealth Carbon construction and features an updated Zero Suspension System — Mondraker's proprietary linkage design, revised with the shock mounted lower in the chassis for a more compact, stiffer swingarm. That lower shock position improves sensitivity and pedaling efficiency, reduces the swingarm's rotational mass, and opens up room for longer seatpost insertion and a usable water bottle mount inside the front triangle. The 150mm rear travel is calibrated for technical trail and enduro riding, not park laps: capable on chunky terrain, efficient enough on climbs that you don't feel like you're fighting the bike. Forward Geometry shapes the handling — a 64.5° head angle, 450mm chainstay across all sizes, and reach numbers from 450mm (S) to 515mm (XL) with a 30mm stem. The result is a bike that tracks confidently at speed without demanding a fight at slower technical speeds.

Suspension is Fox Factory Kashima throughout. The Fox 36 29 Float GRIP2 Factory fork runs 160mm of travel with independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment — the same platform Fox puts on its top-tier enduro and trail builds. The Fox Float X Factory Kashima EVOL shock handles the rear 150mm with a 2-position compression lever (Open/Firm), rebound, and air preload. Both units come with Kashima coating for reduced friction and long-term durability. The Fox Transfer Factory Kashima dropper post — travel ranges from 95mm on the Small to 210mm on the XL — completes the Fox Factory package front to back. SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type handles shifting: 12-speed wireless electronic, 10-52T cassette, 34T chainring, all actuated by the Eagle AXS pod with no cables to route or maintain. Shimano XT M8120 4-piston calipers with 203mm ICE-Tech rotors at both ends supply the stopping power.

Design Benefits

1. TQ-HPR50 light eMTB motor system: The TQ HPR-50 is a harmonic pin ring drive — mechanically distinct from standard mid-drive motors, and noticeably quieter in operation. At 300W and 50Nm across three assist levels, it provides meaningful support on sustained climbs and technical terrain while preserving enough road feel that the bike doesn't feel artificially propelled. The 3.9 kg total system weight (motor + 360Wh battery) is among the lowest in the full-featured light eMTB category, and the removable battery allows charging off the bike. A 160Wh range extender is available for longer days.
2. Updated Zero Suspension System: Mondraker's linkage revision positions the shock lower in the frame, shortening and stiffening the swingarm without reducing compliance at the wheel. The practical results are better sensitivity over small trail chatter, improved pedaling efficiency, and enough space for a water bottle inside the frame triangle — something most eMTBs with 150mm of rear travel can't accommodate. The one-piece Monoblock upper link is central to the updated kinematic and contributes to the swingarm's torsional stiffness.
3. Forward Geometry with 64.5° head angle: Mondraker's Forward Geometry philosophy pairs a long reach with a very short stem — the 30mm Onoff S6 is characteristic — to achieve handling that's stable at speed without requiring a steering correction every time you slow down. The 64.5° head tube angle is aggressively slack, placing this bike in full enduro territory. The 450mm chainstay across all four sizes keeps the rear end responsive. For an eMTB this capable, the geometry doesn't ask you to ride conservatively.
4. Fox Factory Kashima suspension throughout: Both the Fox 36 GRIP2 fork and Float X Factory shock carry Kashima coating — a hard-anodized treatment that reduces stiction and extends the service interval by keeping the wiper seals cleaner over time. The GRIP2 damper in the fork provides independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound circuits, giving you genuine tuning range across trail conditions. The Fox Transfer Factory dropper post completes the package with travel that scales appropriately across the size range.
5. SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type and Shimano XT M8120 brakes: Wireless electronic shifting on a trail eMTB eliminates the cable routing complexity that integrated frames make difficult to manage. The 10-52T cassette range covers everything from technical climbs with motor assist to fast fire-road descents. Shimano XT's 4-piston M8120 calipers with 203mm ICE-Tech rotors provide substantial stopping power with the heat management to hold up on long descents — appropriate for a bike this capable and this heavy.

Final Take

The Mondraker Neat RR is a well-specified light eMTB for riders who want genuine trail and enduro performance with motor assist — not a commuter or casual bike with a motor bolted on. The TQ-HPR50 system, Fox Factory Kashima suspension, and Forward Geometry make it one of the more cohesive builds in the light eMTB category at this price. If you're looking for a capable carbon eMTB that rides closer to a trail bike than a heavy electric platform, the Neat RR makes a clear case for itself.
