Mondraker's 'playful' entry-level Scree gets latest Bosch motor and 130mm of travel

Mondraker has revealed the Scree, an all-aluminium trail bike that promises to open the door to the ebike world for new riders as well as those transitioning from non-assisted bikes.

The electric mountain bike features an all-aluminium frame, which has sleek welds that make it look almost monocoque.

It’s powered by a Bosch Performance CX Gen 5 motor with 100Nm of torque, and removable 800Wh and 600Wh batteries.

While the bike is designed for trail riding, with 130mm rear suspension, the 150mm fork up front shows all-mountain ambition.

There are four build options, starting at £4,999 / $5,999 / €5,199 for the Scree S 600 and topping out at £6,599 / $8,199 / €6,999 for the Scree RR.

Mondraker says the Scree borrows from its enduro models, with the bike featuring its updated Zero Suspension System that sees the rear shock placed low in the frame, dissecting the seat tube.

The brand says it inherits performance from the Crafty, while packaging it in a more playful format for assisted newcomers.

It has 20mm less travel than the carbon bike, 130mm compared to 150mm in the frame, and 10mm less up front.

The frame is made from the brand's premium Stealth Evo aluminium, and has a purposely low standover height for more confidence on the trails.

Driving the bike is Bosch's Performance CX Gen 5, which now has the full 100Nm of torque, and is controlled via a Kiox 400 display on the top tube and mini remote on the bar.

The battery is removable and is accessed via a latch on the down tube, making it easy to swap should you plan on some epic days.

There are two battery options for the bike, with the Scree S 600 featuring a 600Wh battery and the Scree S, Scree R and Scree RR using the 800Wh battery.

Cable routing is through ports on the head tube, meaning maintenance should involve less hassle, while there's a soft plastic chain protector, mudguard and sump protector to keep things running quietly.
