Mondraker Dusty R Carbon E-Gravel Bike black

Get Dusty: The adventure gravel bike.

The DUSTY R gets a lockable RockShox Judy suspension fork with 40mm travel and comes in a new paint finish of Midnight Blue, Tonic and Teal Green. The new DUSTY R follows the top model DUSTY XR in terms of equipment, which allows for the wildest off-road rides.

The Adventure Gravel Bike:

The Dusty is made for short intensive training rides as well as for adventures into the unknown, packed with the most necessary equipment without knowing exactly where you are going and for how long. Almost unlimited range, countless mounting points for accessories and bags, plus a geometry that inspires self-confidence leave the choice of route and its difficulty entirely on the rider's shoulders.

Long Distance Gravel Bike:

When the ride gets a little longer, but you don't know exactly how long. With the 350Wh of the integrated battery, the DUSTY can cover up to 180km depending on the selected support mode and elevation gain. With the 171Wh range extender available as an accessory, you can increase the range by almost 50%.

Gravel riding on technical terrain:

The Mondraker seat stays have been designed for unparalleled comfort, giving you confidence, security and control on technical terrain. When logical thinking says this is the end for a gravel bike, the fun really begins with the DUSTY.

In recent years, the gravel segment in all its various disciplines has developed into something that fits perfectly with the Mondraker philosophy and has brought many cyclists back to their roots. Fun on the bike, a wide range of action and no restrictions on the choice of terrain. All this has always inspired Mondraker in the development of its bikes.

The Dusty is an e-bike that rides almost as naturally as a bike without a motor:

The natural riding feel and the power output of the motor are very important to us with Mondraker e-bikes. Together with Mahle, Mondraker has therefore attached great importance to the customized tuning of the X20 system and its power output. One of the most important features of the Dusty is that it feels similar to a classic bike when pedaling. The Dusty should feel like a bike and not like a machine. No matter what support level you are riding in, the motor starts up and switches off at 25 km/h and is barely noticeable, as great importance was attached to avoiding power peaks in the support when tuning the system.

Der Mahle X20 Motor:

This ultra-compact, lightweight and intelligent drive system creates completely new riding possibilities. E-bikes can no longer be distinguished from high-performance bikes in terms of their look and appearance. The latest innovations create the best support at any cadence, whether riding at top speed or climbing a mountain. The X20 drive was developed to move e-bike riders and the entire industry forward. Weighing just 3.2 kg, including the drive unit, internal battery and head unit, the X20 is the lightest rear hub drive for e-bikes on the market. The X20 drive was developed and is assembled in Europe. With a torque of 55 Newton meters, it achieves a maximum performance level that is compatible with the European (25 km/h) and US (20 km/h) markets. Air resistance is completely eliminated when the maximum supported speed is exceeded and the rider is not penalized. The new internal batteries with a capacity of 236 Wh/350 Wh can be supplemented with a 172 Wh range extender to achieve an autonomy of up to 200 km. An intelligent fast-charging system with up to 4 amps charges the battery to 80% of its full capacity in less than 2 hours.

Mahle MySmartBike App:

With the Mahle MySmartBike app, all 3 support levels are fully configurable and can be tailored to your own needs.

Together with Mahle, however, Mondraker has preconfigured the 3 levels with specific tunes to make the experience as close as possible to that on a bike without drive, but with much more fun, range and power.
Mondraker calls this concept WATTS ON DEMAND.

These 3 principles are the basis for WATTS ON DEMAND:
- The unobtrusiveness of the system.
- Support according to graveling requirements.
- "Endless" range

Each support level has 3 parameters that can be set:
Peak Power: The maximum power with which the system supports.
Reactivity: The way in which the support starts.
Acceleration: The progression of the maximum power.

Based on this, mode 1 assists with 25%, mode 2 with 50% and mode 3 with up to 200%, depending on the torque applied by the rider. In contrast to other systems, the X20 system calculates the power addition based on the torque and not on the cadence. This results in power addition proportional to the power the rider applies, which in turn leads to a natural riding experience.

Mahle Pulsar One Wireless Display

For detail-oriented riders, the wireless PulsarONE display provides detailed information about your ride from battery status to available range and your custom level of assist.

Forward Geometry:

More grip, safety and performance Increased safety on steep downhill sections: The front center is longer, which means that the front axle is further forward compared to an average standard geometry.This increases stability and reduces the risk of rollovers in steep and technically demanding passages. The perceived flatter angles ensure a confidence-inspiring riding experience. Confidence at high speeds: The extended wheelbase improves the bike's stability on any surface. Direct steering behavior: The combination with our self-developed FG30 stem improves steering precision and enables extremely agile handling. More uphill precision: The longer front center keeps the front wheel better on the ground and prevents unwanted wheelies. This makes it easier to climb very steep sections. Stability in technically demanding and difficult terrain: FG results in an improved balance between the front and rear wheel, which in turn leads to more traction and control and therefore more stability on technically demanding and rough terrain.

Stealth AIR Carbon Technology:

Stealth AIR Carbon is Mondraker's most refined manufacturing process for lightweight carbon frames. Each layer of carbon is specifically and carefully processed and fulfills a precisely defined task at every point of the frame. This all results in the most elegant, sophisticated and advanced carbon frames in the Mondraker program. Groundbreaking industrial design, aero-style profiles and a maximum ratio of stiffness, lowest weight and performance are fundamental characteristics of STEALTH AIR CARBON. Vibrations transmitted from the ground to the chassis are often overlooked. Filtering and controlling them is a critical skill, especially for high-quality carbon frames. There is no need to use additional elastomers in the seat stays to achieve unsurpassed riding comfort with a pure carbon hardtail.

• Pioneering "signature style" industrial design with aero-style carbon profiles.
• Advanced manufacturing process for the lightest carbon frames.
• Maximum comfort and performance, highest possible vibration damping and highest possible stiffness to weight ratio.
