Mondraker’s new Zendit with Avinox M2S motor | 67km and 2,500m descending in Wales!

Mondraker has unveiled its latest enduro e-bike, the Zendit, featuring 165mm of travel and powered by the new Avinox M2S motor. Tested by Danny Milner on South Wales' enduro tracks, the bike boasts rapid charging capabilities and an impressive 1,300W of peak power. Milner's initial impressions highlight its performance, covering 67km and 2,500m of descent, suggesting a significant step forward in the e-MTB segment's power and range.

This launch signifies the continued arms race in the e-MTB market, where manufacturers are pushing boundaries in motor output and battery efficiency. Mondraker, known for its aggressive geometry, is clearly aiming to capture the high-performance enduro e-bike segment, appealing to riders seeking maximum assistance and range for demanding terrain. The 1,300W power output, while likely a peak figure, firmly places it among the most potent options available, potentially redefining expectations for assisted climbing and sustained speed.

Ultimately, another e-bike with numbers that go up. The question, as ever, is whether riders truly need 1,300 watts, or simply another reason to justify the ascent.
