Mondraker reveals the 2026 Level: Bosch Gen 5 power, mullet wheels and an 800Wh removable battery

Mondraker has unveiled the latest version of its long-travel Level eMTB for 2026, and it’s a proper platform update rather than a routine spec refresh. The new Level pairs Bosch’s Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor with an 800Wh removable battery, switches to a mullet wheel setup (29in front / 27.5in rear) and keeps the bike firmly in the “big enduro days” category with 180mm front / 170mm rear travel.

This matters because it reflects where full-power eMTBs are heading for 2026: more capacity, more tuneability via software, and more attention paid to chassis stiffness and centre of gravity so the bike feels controlled when you’re riding hard.

What’s new for 2026: frame layout, suspension and geometry adjustability

Mondraker’s coverage of the 2026 Level points to a revised Stealth Evo aluminium frame and an updated version of its Zero Suspension layout. The story here isn’t simply “more travel” — that’s broadly unchanged — but how the travel is delivered. Reports highlight changes aimed at better small-bump sensitivity and more support deeper in the stroke, as well as a lower shock placement intended to improve centre of gravity and stiffness.

There’s also geometry adjustment via a flip chip (standard/low), with BikeRadar noting a 5mm bottom bracket height change and a small head angle shift between positions. For UK riders, that’s useful: low for stability on faster terrain; standard/high for technical climbs and rooty, pedal-strike-prone trails.

Mullet wheels: why Mondraker has gone mixed-size on the new Level

The outgoing Level was available as a dual-29er; the 2026 bike is framed around mixed wheels. The practical logic is familiar in 2025: you keep the rollover and stability of a 29in front wheel, but gain a slightly more agile rear end that’s easier to place in steep chutes and tight turns — especially helpful once you factor in the weight and momentum of a full-power system.

If you’re building internal clusters, this is a perfect moment to link readers to a short Tech post on wheel sizing (29 vs mullet vs where it actually matters in the UK).

£8,499

Bosch Gen 5 CX + 800Wh removable battery (and a range extender option)

The new Level uses Bosch’s latest CX hardware and a large internal battery. Pinkbike and Loam Wolf both highlight the 800Wh removable battery, and compatibility with Bosch’s PowerMore range extender. The key buyer takeaway is that Mondraker is clearly targeting long, steep rides where riders want to use higher support modes without nursing the final 15% of charge home.

Bosch’s broader direction is also relevant: its eMTB+ mode and adjustable support behaviour (via the Flow app) are part of the ecosystem story that will influence 2026 buying decisions, especially for riders cross-shopping Bosch bikes against other systems.

Pricing (UK) and builds

Pinkbike lists three builds with UK pricing at £5,999, £7,199 and £8,499 (R, RR and XR). As ever, final UK availability and dealer stock will shape what riders actually see on shop floors, but those numbers put the Level directly into the same buyer territory as other premium, full-power enduro eMTBs — exactly the type of bike many readers will expect to see in a “Best full-suspension eMTB 2026” shortlist.
