Mondraker Crafty R 2023 aluminium vs Canyon Spectral:on carbon

[mfeuermann]

Hey guys, I need some advice...

I'm about to decide whether to go for the carbon Canyon Spectral:On CF7 which has Shimano EP801 900WH

or the Mondraker Crafty, aluminium with good equipment and Bosh CX4 750Wh. I ride trails, bike size XL, my weight is 108kg.

I know it's a subjective thing, just asking for an opinion on what you think is better... I'm more tempted by the Mondraker, won't I make a mistake by taking the aluminium ?

Thank you very much for your time...

How can you go wrong with aluminium?
Personally the mondraker for me every time. Fantastic bike and the bosch motor as well

My personal choice would be the Mondraker for these reasons:

I prefer Bosch to Shimano

I dont need a 900wh battery , 750 is already plenty for my needs.

I don't need a carbon frame , fussing over weight on a full fat ebike is like only eating half a donut because you're "watching your weight". Shouldn't be eating any bloody donuts then!

I'm wary of warranty claims with Canyon. Some examples can be found on these forums. Can't say the same for Mondraker although I'm sure they don't have a perfect record ?

As you can see I already made this choice.
