NEAT is our vision of what the Light e-MTB category should be, while bringing the character which defines all Mondraker bikes into the mix.
NEAT is the product of our desire to blur the line between traditional MTBs and full power eMTBs, creating a bike which truly offers the best of both worlds. A 150mm enduro bike with a 160mm fork, the lower limit travel for maximum performance. Light, but without sacrificing anything in the process.
After several years of taking stock of the state of the market and deciding that it just didn’t convince us, we developed the NEAT project utilizing an innovative system of motor and battery, more than capable of satisfying the needs of this sector and with which we felt we could identify as riders. We understood that weight was a key factor for this new platform, but we couldn’t let it compromise the performance of the whole package, the suspension travel or the handling.
This new Light e-MTB category has led us to develop a new suspension kinematic specifically conceived for this type of bike.
The NEAT’s suspension system showcases a new kinematic configuration in which the shock is located lower down in the frame, with a more compact, lighter and stiffer swingarm. This optimisation provides greater sensitivity at the start of the shock’s stroke and better overall shock-absorption deeper into its travel.
The more compact swingarm design allows for longer seatposts, more space between water bottles, tools and range extenders, and a better balance between weight and rigidity.
The TQ-HPR50 system comprises a very compact motor which we’ll talk about later on, a 360Wh removable internal battery located in the downtube, a 2” display fitted into the top tube and an optional 160Wh range extender. The whole system weighs in at 3.9Kg, 1850g the motor and 1830g the 360Wh battery. The optional TQ range extender weighs 950g.
Combining 3 natural-feeling levels of assistance and running almost silently, the TQ-HPR50 provides up to 300W of power and 50Nm of torque. A multitude of variables will always come into play when talking about range, but a rider of average weight (around 75Kg) can expect to be able to complete a ride of between 3-4 hours, with more than 1000m of altitude gain, switching between ECO and MID modes, and ride anywhere from 40 to 50km. The optional range extender can increase that by up to 50%.
