@@timeaston5047 Giant is definitely a brand with good bang for buck. I personally haven't ridden it but from our customers who ride them first then come to our shop the mention: 1. Downtube is hideous 2. The don't ride as well. Again not my personal opinion (I agree with the downtube tbh) but those of customers.
Oh yeah! They've been on that list for awhile for me! I used to see them out on the trails and get extremely jealous. Glad I'm finally getting to ride them!
Would definitely and was considering this model, however the deal breaker for me was you cant remove the battery and its a 29er I rather 27.5, as I cant fit a tow hitch on my vehicle, as i now use the roof rack battery removed off my current Emtb is 19.3kgs, otherwise its a killer bike.
@@FlyRidesUSA nah it's fine battery out pedals off tad over 19kgs , been doing it for over a year , it's the cube stereo 160 with alot of upgrades to get the weight down. Total weight 23,354kg.
Hey Richard! If you reach out to the sales team they might know of a place you could demo one (or I'll try to get them to respond here). The batteries on Mondrakers are not removable.
Any other bikes at this level that offer the same bang for the buck as the Mondraker Crafty RR?
Big nope! Treks 13k bike still has a Zeb!
Giant Reign E+ 0?

Drooling over this bike ... crafty rrrrrrr
Hah! We couldn't stop drooling over it on the trails. Made for an interesting test ride!
It's hard not saying "wow that's a beautiful bike" every time I walk by it in the shop. Absolutely gorgeous and Rides like it looks.
Totally! Best thing about it is that it's beautiful and shreds insanely well.
Super excited to pick mine up this week. I'll report back soon on the ride.
That is one nice looking ride! Gotta roll your rrrrrrr's for that one. Mondraker is quickly becoming a top tier brand to consider for purchase.

This bike is a great climber and even more capable when you point it down hill. SRAM groupset, Bosch power, Fox suspension! It's got it all!
Awesome bike!! What a fun trial!
Thanks for watching! Austen can really rip!
Can’t wait to try one out.
Love to see a bike with rad components at a reasonable price!
what trail is it? looks super fun trail.
What size was the test bike? How tall is Austin?

Roof rack could make tough. Our guy Hector lugged his on his roof for awhile, but I'm pretty sure it got old as he know has a tray rack.

East coast demo rides available? Removable battery? That bike is out of this world good looking.

@@FlyRidesUSA I'll reach out to sales team. Thanks for reply and as always keep the super solid content and reviews coming.
Can you make a video about the mindsystem tutorial?
The MIND Telemetry system is still not offered in North America. Once it is, you bet we'll do a video on it!
I would still consider the Cube bikes for best specs/value
Cube definitely is a great value proposition as well! I'd rate them similarly to Mondraker in that capacity.
Can’t wait to try one out.
