Turn It On! Mondraker Dune R Review - eMTB Lite Group Review

Though many of the eBikes in the “SL” segment err on the shorter travel end of the spectrum, there are machines like the Mondraker Dune that go big. The Mondraker Dune is a 165mm enduro smasher, and one we loved thrashing for this Group Test. With the updated Bosch Performance Line SX drive unit cranking out 60Nm of torque and an updated Zero suspension platform that boosted performance, how did it stack up against 12 of the best Lightweight eMTBs in this year’s shootout? We were excited to find out as we headed down to Klamath Falls.
