Let’s look at the Neat light eMTB builds. Below we compare the Mondraker Neat RR SL, RR and R bikes.

Shared Highlights of all Neat Kits:

Neat Drive Unit and Battery

All Mondraker Neat bikes feature the TQ HPR-50 drive unit, TQ HPR V01 Display as well as the TQ HPR-50 360Wh battery. As we mentioned earlier the Mondraker Neat has an external battery option with the TQ 160Wh upgrade / addition.

Tires

Mondraker spec’s the Neat lineup with a Minion DHF 2.5″ EXO+ 3C MaxxTerra front tire. Maxxis’ Minion DHR II in 2.4″ with EXO+ sidewall and 3C MaxxTerra compound is found on the rear.

The Minion setup is a great option for a lot of riders. However with that said, there is a lot of personal preference in tire selection. Like cockpit, saddle and brakes we often see riders swap or upgrade tires on their new bikes.

Maybe you’re looking for something a little more aggressive? What about Double Down sidewalls for improved small bump compliance? Perhaps a more aggressive tread pattern like the Assegai?

On the other hand maybe a slightly faster and more efficient rear tire like an Aggressor?

What about lighter tires but adding rim protection?

No matter what your preference our team is here to get you dialed in.

Mondraker Neat Kit Differences

Here’s a quick look at the stock Mondraker Neat light eMTB builds.

Suspension

All three Neat builds are spec’d with FOX Suspension. However the Neat R is offered with FOX Performance fork and rear shock compared to the RR and RR SL with the FOX Factory offerings.

The major difference here is the additional compression controls found on the Factory forks and rear shocks. This allows riders more tuning capacity which is great for eMTB setup, even on the lighter eMTB offerings like the Mondraker Neat.

There are a lot of upgrades and swaps to Performance suspension bikes – see the next tab for more details.

Cockpit and Brakes

All three kits use 31.8mm diameter cockpit setups. The R features aluminum bars while the RR and RR SL spec the Onoff Krypton Carbon 800mm bar.

SRAM brakes are found on all three bikes as well utilizing 200mm rotors.

This is a common area for part swaps and upgrades. Read about common upgrades and part swaps on the next tab for more details about the Mondraker cockpit and brake spec.

Drivetrain

All three Neat build kits spec SRAM drivetrains. The Neat R utilizes a cable driven 50t SRAM drivetrain. The RR and RR SL feature SRAM AXS Transmission components. The RR spec’s the GX AXS Transmission while the RR SL uses the X0 AXS Transmission.

The Neat R and Neat RR spec e13 E*Spec Plus cranks while the RR SL build spec’s e.13 TRS Race Carbon cranks.

Rider Contact Points

We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your new bike as well.

A lot of riders purchasing a new bike find it a good time to refresh their pedals. We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles at unbeatable prices.

Tires

Like contact points its not unusual for riders to have a “must-have” go to tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.

The Neat is spec’d with Maxxis EXO+ sidewalls and 3C MaxxTerra compound tires. On the front riders find a 2.5″ Minion DHF and a 2.4″ Minion DHR II in the rear.

This is a very popular option – however – it’s pretty common to see minor modifications or even entire swaps on this tire setup. Many eMTB riders will prefer to move to Double Down or even DH tires to maximize the small bump compliance of their bike. Others may want a more aggressive tread pattern like the Maxxis Assegai. A few may even want a slightly faster rolling rear tires like the Maxxis Aggressor.

Know what you’re looking for? Stoked – let us know and we’ll get the right tires on your new bike. Wondering what’s right for you? No problem there either. Chat with our team about how tires will change your bike’s overall personality as well as how to match your riding style to them. Questions on what tires are right for your riding style and locale? No problem – chat with our team about swapping to tires perfect for you on your new eMTB.

Maybe you’re also thinking about rim protection? We have that covered too. We often see riders use combinations of CushCore PRO and CushCore XC or even a single rim protection strip (usually on the rear tire). Questions? Let us know!

Cockpit

Along with Brakes, Cockpit is the most common place we see part swaps and upgrades. Since fit is so important to your bike it’s not surprising that you’ll want to work with a resource that has more than 1 option!

On eMTB bikes its common to see riders looking for handlebar designs that maximize small bump compliance. The heavier eMTB bikes often utilize more progressive suspension setups for ultimate performance. This means finding small bump compliance elsewhere is important on you aggressive eMTB build.

The most common handlebar for eMTB purchases is the OneUp carbon e-bar. Designed with a unique shape to provide maximum stiffness in a fore/aft load but while offering subtle give in vertical loads.

Another common handlebar spec is the carbon option from TAG Metals which has an ovalized internal design for similar performance benefits.

Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. As you trim your bars they will get stiffer due to the decreased lever arm – so if you’ve got narrower shoulders you’ll likely want to start with a narrower bar rather than cutting tons off. Similarly getting the right bar rise will help your setup. Ideally you want your hands in a power position. Too low and the bike will try to pull “under” and out in steep chutes. Too tall and you’ll lose front end grip. While some of this is adapted with headset spacers the preference for performance and looks is generally to have 15-30mm of spacers and get the rest of the rise from the handlebar.

Looking for suggestions? Chat with our team about hand positioning and the advantages of getting the right handlebar rise on your new rig. We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Brakes

This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.

Most riders will update brakes on the Mondraker builds.

Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.

TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.

Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.

The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.

Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.

Custom Wheels

Handbuilt or custom wheels are another popular upgrade no matter what brand you’re shopping. Custom wheels allow riders to spec a rim, spoke and hub combination as well as build specifics for the ultimate performance.

We see many riders work with NOX carbon or WTB, Factor and RideFast alloy options.

Riders also will find traction from using the right spokes and build techniques. Our team will help you define this at time of purchase to ensure you maximize performance and longevity.

Popular hubs from Chris King, Industry Nine, Onyx and Factor are spec’d on eMTB builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build with the strength to handle the extra power from the motor.

Pro Tune Suspension

Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our proprietary Pro Tune Suspension. Our team will custom tune your FOX fork and rear shock and narrow the performance from the FOX Factory range to a more precise setup designed for your riding style, aggression, ground speed, size and terrain.

This is one of the biggest upgrades to any bike – having the suspension dialed in as well as having a resource like BikeCo to help you fine tune the bike at time of delivery and as your riding speeds increase!

Mondraker Neat Geometry

The Neat eMTB is offered in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large.  This gives the Mondraker light eMTB a fit option for a wide range of riders.

Use the tabs below for more info on the Neat Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the Neat measures up against other Enduro eMTB bikes on the Comparison tab.

eMTB bikes like the Mondraker Neat are sized from rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. Going to a larger size will produce a ride that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.
