The 'Dusty' E-Bikes Can Handle Multiple Terrain and Lengthy Rides
Rahul Kalvapalle — March 12, 2023 — Eco
Spain-based Mondraker may be best known for its exceptionally high-quality mountain bikes, but the company is looking to take its bicycle engineering and design expertise to a new horizon with the launch of the 'Dusty' range of gravel e-bikes.
The 'Dusty' gravel e-bikes make use of a rear hub motor that is capable of churning out just over 40 pounds-feet of torque, while the battery mechanism provides a range of up to 180 km on a full charge. Elsewhere, these gravel e-bikes offer pedal assist that isn't one-size-fits-all in its workings but is rather applied in a progressive manner relative to the rider's pedalling force and frequency.
These impressive gravel e-bikes are available in three different models that range in price from $6,499 for the 'R' version to $7,599 for the mid-tier 'RR' and $11,999 for the high-end 'XR' bike.
