Spanish mountain bike manufacturer Mondraker, renowned for high-performance mountain bikes, introduces the Crusher, an e-bike designed for extreme riders. With 150mm of rear wheel travel and 29-inch wheels, the Crusher maintains the same geometry and kinematics as its Bosch-powered counterpart, the Crafty, but adopts the latest Shimano EP801 motor for a thrilling ride.
Shimano EP801 Powerhouse
The Crusher is powered by Shimano’s EP801 Drive Unit, offering an impressive maximum torque of 60 pound-feet (85 Newton-meters) and a weight of just 5.94 pounds (2.7 kilograms). A substantial 750-watt-hour battery ensures extended trail adventures, outperforming the Crafty’s 720-watt-hour battery.
