New e-bike arrives with 150 Nm mid-drive motor, 800 Wh battery, and high-end components

Following the launch of the Zendit RR, Spanish manufacturer Mondraker—whose e-bikes are distributed across Europe, North America, the UK, and international markets—is expanding the lineup with the Zendit S. Positioned at €2,000 less than the RR variant, the Zendit S still sits at a premium price point of €6,499. With this release, Mondraker targets mountain bikers seeking powerful electrical assistance, a carbon frame, and top-tier components.

At the core of the Zendit S is the Avinox M2S mid-drive motor, delivering an impressive 150 Nm of peak torque and a maximum output of 1,500 watts. Despite these high-performance figures, the bike remains road-legal and requires no registration under EU pedelec regulations, as its continuous rated output is capped at 250 watts and assistance cuts off at 25 km/h. As is typical for dedicated mountain bikes, the Zendit S ships without integrated lighting, making an inexpensive set of clip-on lights advisable for street use.

Suspension duties are handled by a Fox 38 29 Float Grip X2 Factory Kashima fork paired with a matching Fox rear shock. To maximize drivetrain longevity under the immense torque of the motor, Mondraker equips the bike with a 36-tooth chainring. Gear shifts are managed by a 12-speed SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS T-Type electronic rear derailleur, while four-piston SRAM Maven Base hydraulic disc brakes with 200 mm rotors provide stopping power at both ends. Thanks in part to its carbon frame, the full-suspension e-bike weighs in at a reasonable 22.8 kg—a competitive figure given its heavy-duty mid-drive setup and large 800 Wh battery.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
