DUNE is the last word in Mondraker’s light e-Bike range. Taking after the NEAT in some key aspects such as lightness and agility, the Mondraker Dune XR Electric Bike takes a different path by offering power and performance similar to longer travel, burlier bikes like the SUPERFOXY and LEVEL. DUNE is the black sheep of the family, naughty and nice at the same time, the super enduro of light e-Bikes. Weighing in at under 20kg it’s the waking dream of anyone who’s been torn between a modern enduro bike and a full power ebike but who just couldn’t decide. Now they won’t have to. The foundation of the DUNE is a Stealth Air Carbon frame weighing in at 2.650 grams, combined with the power and light weight of Bosch’s latest offering, the Performance SX. The frame showcases our Updated Zero Suspension and offers 165mm of rear-wheel travel and Forward Geometry specifically tuned for this long-travel hard-hitting light e-Bike.TWO DUNES: 2009 TO 2024Back in 2009 the DUNE hit the market as a no-compromise full-on enduro bike, and was, as chance would have it, the first ever Mondraker to feature the Zero Suspension System. An aluminium frame, 160mm travel front and back, and with the option of a 170mm fork if you went for the XR version, it was the perfect tool to take on the fledgling Enduro World Series. That DUNE was in thecatalogue until 2020, and in the last five seasons you could get it with a carbon-fibre frame too. The folks at Mondraker are convinced that the original DUNE was the most purebred enduro bike they’ve ever made. They managed to take that breeding and improve on it and work it into the FOXY and SUPERFOXY MTBs, but now things have come full circle and this time it’s the DUNE that’s taking all that they learned from its descendants. This time it’s an e Bike that will carry the legacy. DUNE: The natural evolution of enduro.MOTOR: BOSCH SX. THE SWEET SPOTDUNE really found its soulmate in the new Bosch Performance Line SX motor. Providing 55Nm of torque, 600W of peak power and reduced overall dimensions and weight, it’s the perfect partner for DUNE. As well as the integrated 400Wh battery (2.070grams), DUNE and its Bosch SX have been designed to take full advantage of Bosch’s PowerMore 250Wh range extender (1.5Kg) providing you with up to 60% more range (this accessory is an option and is not included with the bike). When fitted, the range extender connects to the charging port on the downtube and gives you a combined 650Wh of power, giving your light e-MTB the range offered my most full-fat e-Bikes while still being significantly lighter and more agile. While the Bosch System Controller set into the top tube allows you to turn the motor on and off, control the support mode and visualise the battery level, you also have the Mini Remote and Kiox 500 display on the handlebar to effortlessly switch between modes and have access to a greater range of ride info.The Bosch Performance Line SX with Smart System offers 4 different riding modes: ECO, TOUR+, eMTB and TURBO, each of which can be individually configured through the eBike Flow app. The handlebar mounted Kiox 500 display shows you your ride data in real time including power, cadence, speed and battery level, while the Mini Remote controller next to your handlebar grip lets you navigate through the menu via three buttons.Mondraker Dune XR Electric Bike HighlightsStealth Air Carbon frameUpdated Zero Suspension System kinematics170mm front, 165mm rear wheel travel (180mm front on the XR model)2.65Kg frame weight w/o shock (size M)Mixed wheels: 29” front / 27.5” rear
