Mondraker Level RR Review

[@paulmaag6958]

Your Level RR is set up properly. On my Mondraker Level R, I kept eco and took off Tour+. I think your bike is set up better. I very rarely use eco with the big 750 battery. Anyway, Auto mode tries to keep you at the same face. Auto mode is great for non technical climbs and especially long double track climbs. EMTB provides the range from Eco to Turbo, but is focused on the riders input, providing a progressive boost. It is the best mode for technical single track and technical climbs. The Mondraker is a brute! I use it here in the rocky mountains of colorado. Lots of steep baby head and toothy rock in our trails. The level eats it up!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you are enjoying your bike.

[@seniorsone5066]

You might need to get it looked at, the rear wheel seemed to keep drifting out to one side when you were in the air. 😜

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It is called a whip. I will give you some lessons.😂

[@grantmckinnon2300]

Li-Ion batteries are supposed to be shipped at about ~20% charge as they are more volatile the higher their charge state is 👍👍

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Good to know.

[@murray1961]

Now that looks like an interest e-bike with good geo.

[@sjaan7370]

Nice review! Can you mullet it? 😉 I believe AUTO mode uses the whole spectrum of power ranges from ECO to TURBO and is more for commuters to maintain a constant pace. Might be good for fire road climbs. EMTB mode starts at TOUR and goes up to TURBO and is based on pedal feedback and is better suited for tech and overall trail riding. And yeah, its missing it's charging port plug/cover 🙃

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that. I figured there must be a cover for the charger point.

[@dirtyoffroader2093]

It's an epic bike. I was between Large and Extra Large (at 6ft2) .. and went with the L, the reach is spot on for me. Like you say it feels stable at speed yet nimble enough to throw around. I love the thing 👍 (btw mine came new with 60% charge here in Europe). Your also missing the rubber charge port cover and the bottle holder bolts. Looks like the bike you've been given has been looted for bits 😆 You can upgrade the charge port cover, first thing I did 👍

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that feedback. People looking at buying the bike will find that helpful.

Good points on the battery....hadn't quite considered it fully like you did. As I'll be hauling a future eeb on a little caravan Camper like you were up to earlier, so being able to leave the bike stashe and safe for transit, yet recharge the battery remotely, is a nice convenience if you're on the RV road....Great review, and it's Hardline ready definitely! .....Mondraker has the best DH team - Dak, Dunne, pinkerton.....(used to race up against Dakota in a michigan dual slalom series years back, now he's podium'ing WCDH) I dig Mondraker....

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Very interested to see how Ronan does this year.

[@jokermtb]

@@bestdayevermtb2 Same here - ran into Ronan at the Snowshoe WCDH as he was buying a huge round of red bull (of course) + Jameson shots for the other racers he was celebrating with, and as he was scooping them up, mentioned 'hey, you're not 21 yet, are ya' Got a bit of a laugh and a wink - good thing the bar was oblivious! Really a terrific personality in the sport and I wish him well in 24.

[@lucasetche]

Just bought a Mondraker level rr 2024 new for 5303 Euros seems like a good deal, was 25% off from original price, and 11% off because of black Friday, so i got 36% off the original price :D Edit: Also you are missing a cap for the charging Point since mine came whit one.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I really enjoyed this bike. I am sure you will have a lot of fun on it.

[@SaundyB]

Nice looking ride

[@micheldommel]

So the Mondraker level R; slightly lesser build with (fox 38 rythm, fox performance coil and Sram db8 brakes) for approx.. €4000,- euros seems like a no brainer? I have found a new one here in Germany. Thanks!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That sounds like a great price. Certainly, some deals to be had.

[@markcosens1]

New bike? I perhaps missed in the video if you now own it. New bike day is great, do you change often to stay in warranty?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

No, not a new bike. reviewed it. Only just got my new KTM and loving that bike.

[@micheldommel]

Wow you can ride😀. Rippin

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks

[@ducinguyen5510]

how tall are you? and you like size m?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

176cm. Mondrakers are quite long so the medium suited me.

[@ducinguyen5510]

I‘m 1,80 would you recommend m or L for me? I heard mondraker bikes tend to be a lil larger and you should downsize better so maybe the M? I appreciate your help mate

[@bestdayevermtb2]

@@ducinguyen5510 Tricky one as it is all about personal preference. According to mondrakers size guide you could technically ride either but a large seems the better option. When I get a bike I look often at the Reach number. I see the level is 470 for the medium. My Large KTM is 450 so the Large would feel quite long for me. Ideally if possible try some bikes. I see Mondraker are having Demo days in NZ at the moment. Not sure where you are.

[@ducinguyen5510]

@@bestdayevermtb2yeah i‘m riding an propain tyee size L and it has a 470 reach as well. Thats why i went for M on mondraker. I tested the L but it was very long and sluggish. I think i made the right choice. Greetings form germany mate

[@bestdayevermtb2]

@@ducinguyen5510 I think over the years of reviewing bikes the ones I had the most fun on were generally on the smaller size. Either way have fun on your new bike in Germany.

[@garethhugeharvey]

Worth the extra money over a trek rail?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

That is a decision for every individual. I personally liked it more than the Rail in terms of handling.

[@vaughanboyce3702]

How much is it?, can I 2 "boring" brand bikes for 1 of these?.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I see it down as $15500

[@rockandchilimtb]

How tall are you?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

176cm

[@zakgould5593]

You good on fries 🍟 on that bike too

[@JorgeDiazfernandez]

The Mondraker Bikes are really good but coming with poor components and in the level gama is not compatible with new Sram Type T

[@zakgould5593]

You should’ve used Steve 0 for the bike build …. It would’ve been the longest Day ! 😂

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think Steve would still have done a better job than me.

[@Tessastiel]

ebikes are so quiet nowadays

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I often ride behind people and they don't know I am there.

[@Tessastiel]

@@bestdayevermtb2 haha that’s good. Maybe they even think you have a normal bike when you pass them. My e-bike is so noisy and everyone knows I’m behind them when I’m still 10 m away from them 🤣

[@zakgould5593]

Sooo close to mentioning T….. money word 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ashleyscarth8363]

there should be cover but it crap
