Mondraker Dune - In detail with Doddy

- The Dune is a Bosch SX powered lightweight EMTB from Mondraker. Long travel, low weight ebikes appear to be the sweet spot for a lot of riders.
Could this be the ultimate bike, without compromise?
We speak with Andrew Dodd 'Doddy' from Mondraker to try and find out.

A nearly bought the neat at the weekend the dune is being ordered tomorrow thank you
Glad to hear it 👍
@@markcollier9211 it’s mullet 27:5 rear , I’d prefer 29 29 but they reckon you don’t notice it on the trail
I had a ride on this on Saturday after going to demo the new Orbea Wild, it’s incredible, the suspension is like riding on a marshmallow, it’s a beefy bike but it’s light , the Orbea Wild is good but the Dune is next level
I chose the forst foxy XR over the Dune XR.This bike screams the same attributes.
Absolutely stunning bike woth great spec but ots a bike that riders wish they need but in reality 90 percent of riders do t need this level of travel .
Bot once on my foxy did i wish i had more travel .
TBH the weight of the bike makes very little difference to the power to weight ratio. I am 105kg. A Dune carbon is about 19-20kg and a trail full power ebike is about 23-25kg. So the total weight of the system (bike + rider) is between 125-130kg. So if the motor is 600 watts that makes the power to weight ratio 4.8-4.61 watts/kg. That's only about a 4% difference. Sure it's not nothing but it probably wont be noticable to the rider, especially because you only draw that full 600 watts of power a handful of times per ride so most of the time you have exactly the power that you request from the motor (by pushing harder or softer as required). I don't think 3-5kg of weight difference on the bike makes much difference. If you were a very light rider then it will make more of a difference. Like my GF is like 55kg and I am 105kg and we both have the same Bosch Gen 4 motor so she can fly up hills while I grind up them.
What if we think less about the combined weight of the bike and the rider and more about the leverage required to manoeuvre an additional 5kg, away from your body, at speed. When lateral and vertical G forces are applied the extra weight becomes more than just 5kg. Just a thought of mine and not at all scientific. Lighter is better in my opinion and if we can get full or mid power bikes closer to the 20kg mark it can only be a good thing.
Would be great to see a "Flight attendant" version of this bike.
Hope they come out with a Ronan Dune version
Comment of the day goes to you sir 👏
@@EMTBPodcast sweet bike nevertheless
The first Brand that makes a long travel, full powered bike with at least 700-750wh battery at 19-20kg, wins the game
The dream!
170 mm rear was difficult to make? 😢
🤷♂️
@EMTBPodcast have you had the chance to test the Dune or the Bosch SX motor? I want to know how much rattle/clunk the motor makes while descending and riding over rocky chunky terrain? The shimano ep8 and Bosch cx motor rattle is a real turn off
Currently no. Hoping to test one in June
Jesus Christ,i've seen the same post from you 100 times already in several videos/forums.Chill tf down with this rattle thing ffs.
it does not rattle at all, comparable to a TQ. Complete silence downhill
Is the battery removable 🤔
There’s a question which I forgot to ask. Ping a message over to Doddy and I’m sure he’ll let you know
@@EMTBPodcast ok will ask not sure where to send the message to Doddy🤔
No, battery removal requires the motor to be pulled
@@bikemanic thanks 👍 a
Dammit stop with the sick bikes i cant afford!😅
Tell me about it!
Ebikes aren't real bikes!? :swoon:
