Mondraker DUSTY RR 2024

The total versality of a Dusty.

The DUSTY is the perfect concept of an e-Gravel bike designed to encompass the three most in-demand disciplines of gravel bikes, adventure, long distance and technical terrain riding. The DUSTY RR comes with SRAM RIVAL ETAP 1x12 Drivetrain, Mavic Allroad Disc wheels, 40mm Maxxis Rambler EXO tires and ONOFF components.

The rapid evolution of gravel bikes over the last few years hasn’t gone unnoticed at Mondraker. The Gravel category, which has seen unstoppable growth via different disciplines and different types of users, has meant a return to their origins for many people. Origins based on fun, the ability to go further, and the pleasure of pedalling over more complicated terrain. All of this with a very marked off-road character, something which is in perfect alignment with the philosophy they apply at Mondraker to all of their mountain bikes.

Long distance gravel bike.

You know when you’re going to start pedalling but you don’t know when you’re going to stop. With its 350Wh internal battery you can travel up to 180km depending on the level of assistance you dial in and the altitude gain you rack-up. Imagine how far you could go with the (optional) 171Wh range extender and the extra power of your legs!

The adventure gravel bike.

For short and explosive rides when you only have an hour to do your day's training ride, flat-out. Then, for those 1-or2-day, long events when you load-up the basics on your DUSTY and set out looking for the best place to sleep, or the most scenic route in your area. Offering all the range you’d ever need, more than sufficient load capacity, a plus of comfort, while being confidence inspiring to boot. You get to choose the length and intensity of your rides.

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.
