Second ride out on the Mondraker, and this time somewhere a little more familiar, Laggan Wolftrax.
While we started and finished at the trail centre, our main focus was to ride more of the hand cut, more natural stuff on the other side of the glen. Really glad we were on the e-bikes, as it allowed us to get plenty of runs in without taking up too much time.

Such a beautiful place to ride. Hope to visit Scotland for bike holidays some day.
Thank you for your videos Andrew!
We’ve got plenty of good riding to offer 👍
Mondraker and Laggan Wolftrax!! Can't believe drove pass Laggan Wolftrax for eighteen years and only ever pop into the shop and cafe and never had my bike with me always in a rush! My excuse is I only restarted cycling again in 2013 at home in Fort Augustus roll on 2024
I’m the opposite, I find it difficult to pass the place without stopping.
You could technically cycle over the old military road to get there, if you were feeling especially fit😜
@@McTrailRider I have wallked and cycled a wee bits Wade's Way & The Corrieyairack Pass. That would be something I need some coffee and cake when I got there 😀which is really good!
Bike packed from Loch Ossian to fort Augustus this summer, called in at Lagan for lunch, sadly no laps.
Those trails! 🤤
Right?!
Amazing ride👍🏾
Thanks dude
Great looking trails and the bike seems to ride very well. Great vid Mate. 👍

Lookin sweet bro. Class trails n class ridin dude,. Belta vid cheers. I always enjoy ya vids bro 👊🍻. Me fink I cud do wit ye owd Ebike loll
Cheers dude!
The old bike was sold a while ago I’m afraid
@@McTrailRider aye bro I remember u sayin. Was jst sayin I need 1 instead of my dh lol
Good stuff Andrew. The start on the gravelled portion, I was thinking "damn it was a bait and switch title!" then you got to the hand cut brown side. Very nice over there! My kind of trails.
Still surprised that when it's cold & damp enough to have frost, you remain gloveless. Even if it's cold enough to make the eyes water, you're gloveless. Your hands must run warm.
Yeah, I was quite aware of riding the trail centre first in the video 😬
I do wear gloves sometimes, but I obviously avoid it where possible.
@@McTrailRider How are you liking the Mondraker? Did you say to James, in the video, that it weighs 25 kilos?
@@seanoneil277 I’m loving it tbh.
It does weigh 25kgs, but it doesn’t feel that heavy.
@@McTrailRider Is this the 3rd ebike you've had now? You've been able to compare a few -- especially if you have mates who have them too. Is this your favorite one so far?
@@seanoneil277 2016 Levo, 2020 Pivot Shuttle and the Vitus E Sommet before this one.
All very different bikes. I think this one has the best motor/battery combo. The geometry is the best too.
The Levo was quieter, the shuttle lighter and the Vitus a little more descent focused.
Top Video Andrew. Was this filmed on your DJI camera this time? I think it does a good job of showing the depth of field 👀, especially on the 'brown trails'. ⭐🤘👍🥇⚡
Been filming on the dji exclusively for the last couple of months. Really happy with the results.
Wow again… love this place unfortunately rarely get up there. Never been on the brown hill but sure need to explore there! Beautiful riding, beautiful scenery and beautiful bike!!
How do you feel the field of view is the new camera compares to your previous one? I have a feeling that it looks more realistic, I.e. steep bits actually look steep. But on the other hand you have less ‚superview‘ if that makes sense. What do you think? Beautiful colours
The natural side is awesome! I highly recommend it.
The field of view on the new camera is much wider than the GoPro and less distorted overall.
I’m not sure what you mean by less superview tbh.
@@McTrailRider aye i can see it being wider left to right, that's true, but what i mean with less 'superview' is top top to bottom seems to be narrower. If that's actually the case, then i would make sense that there is less distortion, i guess, and hence drops look more relistic. But if you haven't noticed that, I might be wrong.
@@Chris_Knopf the dji actually had the taller image compared to GoPro’s superview, as well as being slightly wider too.
Hyperview may be wider again, but I don’t like how that looks, way to distorted for my taste.
@@McTrailRiderinteresting. thanks. Need to get my hands on one of these I guess.
Great riding dude! Footage looked amazing!! Surely that wasn't on a GoPro hero 10!?
Thanks Archie. This was shot on the Dji action 4, I get better results with it than GoPro.
Quality looks amazing! Much more clear, better lighting and the highlights aren’t blown out on the sky! What settings are you using on it?
Lovely bike.
Ive just got an orbra Wild 2023, same Bosch smart system and sinilar geo i think.
What length are your bars? I cant get on wirh the 800 bars that came on the bike.
The Orbea is the other bike that I considered getting, but I found a better deal on the Mondraker.
I run 800mm bars, but I have a stupid long arm span, so it works for me.
@@McTrailRider I'll keep watching your content mate. I especially like the ebike stuff. Take care
I see you ride w/o gloves??? It's crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely something that gets people going, that’s for sure 😜
NICE😂
Fab
Cheers Paul
Bike cockpit looks so much better, how did you remove the kiox, did you have to remove the motor?
It does.
Removing the Kiox was actually quite straight forward.
The wire goes motor-kiox-then back the top tube controller. I took the wire that goes from the motor to the Kiox, and plugged it straight into the top tube controller instead.
Nice one - fairly straight forward, cheers for the tip. Like you I'm not a fan of the clutter or additional cables. And that display is just going to get smashed 😂
Do you just have to remove the top tube controller to do this? That rear brake hose routing is the same on my Crafty R, it just looks weird. I'll have to put it into shop to get it changed. I think I'll upgrade brakes as them sram ones are rubbish.
@@David-ClubDeck It's really easy, remove the cables on the back of the kiox, tape the two ends together so you can pull them through the frame, disconnect the top tube mount and pull the cables through the frame and into the top tube (because you taped them they come through easy) now disconnect the dead cable and attach the battery cable into the top tube display, now fix it back to frame.
Yeah my brakes are the same, I'll upgrade to Magura mt7 and sort the routing in due course. And the dropper is fairly poor too. Apart from that though, what a bike 👍
@@gr1809 👍 Thanks for the info, I've currently got the kiox attached to a 3d printed stem top cap mount, neater than original. I was going to upgrade to the Mt 5 E stops. Yes the dropper post isn't the best either, I've only ridden mine 5 times from new (crashed and broken collar bone and thumb🤬) and it sticks, have to pull it up. So far everything else seems great with the bike.
The noise or lack of it between the bosch and the shimano is pretty noticeable.
Very much so
Another great video .. I know you've probably been asked a million times , but what are your general camera settings in this video ? Cheers bro.
Thanks Chaz👍
Camera is the dji action 4
4k ultra wide
Dlog m colour profile
Lowest level of stabilisation
Ev comp -0.7
Cheers Andrew , wow , lowest level of stabilization! and it so smooth looking. Reckon that's my next camera .
@@ChazFMTBChronicles if I was mounting to my chest, I would up the stability.
Widest field of view is my priority for mounting to the chin though.
