The new Mondraker Scree is a clear statement that “full-power” doesn’t have to mean “full-on enduro.” This is a trail-first eMTB designed to fit the rides most people actually do: after-work loops, trail-centre mileage, natural bridleway linking, and long days where the biggest limiter is usually time and energy rather than outright bravery. In a market where plenty of eMTBs feel like they’ve been built around the gnarliest possible descent, the Scree looks to be chasing something more useful: a bike that’s stable and confident when the trail turns ugly, but still happy to play along when the riding is flowing rather than feral.

The key choice is the suspension balance. With a 150mm fork and 130mm rear travel, the Mondraker Scree sits in that sweet spot where you can commit into rougher sections without feeling under-biked, but you’re not dragging extra travel (and the vague handling that can come with it) around mellow terrain. That’s a particularly relevant point in the UK, where conditions often change ride-to-ride and even hour-to-hour. One minute you’re on hardpack trail-centre turns, the next you’re picking your way through wet roots and churned-up mud. A bike that stays composed without demanding you ride at warp speed is often the bike you’ll keep reaching for.

Then there’s the power system. The Scree is a full-power Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 5) bike, paired with a removable battery that’s offered in 800Wh on most models, with a 600Wh option used to keep the entry point realistic. In practice, that means it’s aimed at riders who want to stop doing range maths mid-ride. Instead of saving the last bar for “just in case,” the Scree is built to let you ride the fun bits twice, take the longer link-up, or simply finish the ride feeling less cooked. For a lot of UK riders, that’s the real point of an eMTB.

What the Mondraker Scree is trying to do on the trail

The Scree’s geometry sits firmly in modern trail-bike territory rather than extreme enduro numbers. A 65.5° head angle and 77° effective seat angle suggest a bike that should climb in a straight line without wandering, while still giving you enough stability when you’re pointing down something steep and awkward. Mondraker also sticks with a consistent 456mm chainstay length across the size run, which typically points to predictable handling and a calmer rear end when the ground gets choppy.

It’s also worth noting the sizing. Mondraker offers the Scree in five sizes (S, M, M/L, L, XL). That M/L option can be a genuine advantage for buyers who often sit between sizes, because it lets you choose fit and handling more deliberately rather than settling for “close enough.” If you’re buying a trail eMTB to ride regularly, getting the sizing right matters far more than chasing one particular component upgrade.

In terms of ride character, the Mondraker Scree reads like it’s aiming for traction and confidence rather than a hyper-snappy race feel. The suspension layout is Mondraker’s Updated Zero Suspension System, and the bike is designed around stability and control—useful traits when you’re riding wet off-camber roots, braking into greasy corners, or trying to keep momentum through soft, blown-out singletrack. In other words, it looks built for the messy reality of UK trails rather than a perfect demo day.

Power, battery and the “why” of full-power for trail riding

Bosch’s latest CX system is the mainstream benchmark for full-power eMTBs, and the Scree leans into that on purpose. The big benefit for trail riders isn’t just brute assistance—it’s consistency. On climbs that are steep, loose, and stop-start, a strong drive unit can keep you moving smoothly rather than stalling and dabbing your way up. That matters if your local loop includes techy climbs, or if you’re the sort of rider who likes to link multiple descents in one ride rather than settling for a single lap.

Battery choice is where the Scree gets interesting for real-world buyers. Mondraker offers four builds, and most of them use an 800Wh removable battery. For UK riding, that’s a sensible capacity because it gives you options: you can ride in a higher mode more often, you can keep the assistance stronger when fatigue kicks in, and you can take longer routes without planning your whole ride around the nearest café socket. The entry-level model uses a 600Wh battery, which will still suit plenty of riders doing shorter loops, or anyone who prefers to keep the initial spend down and doesn’t routinely head out for all-day epics.

The removable aspect is a practical win, too. Not everyone has a garage socket next to the bike, and not everyone wants to lift an eMTB up stairs to charge it. Being able to remove the battery makes ownership easier—especially if the bike lives in a shed, a flat, or a shared storage space.

Range, models and UK pricing: what you actually get

The Scree line-up is simple and, importantly, priced in a way that makes sense for a big-battery Bosch platform. There are four builds: Scree S 600, Scree S, Scree R, and Scree RR.

At the entry point, the Mondraker Scree S 600 is positioned as the “get on the trail” option. It’s the one that uses the 600Wh battery, and it’s the bike that will likely appeal to riders buying their first full-power eMTB, riders upgrading from an older model, or anyone who rides shorter loops but still wants a proper full-suspension trail bike with real-world range.

Step up to the Scree S, and you move into the more long-ride-friendly setup with the larger battery option and a spec that’s typically better suited to harder, faster riding. The Scree R and Scree RR then sit as the upgrades for riders who care more about suspension performance, braking confidence and component durability over a long season of wet-weather riding. The top build is the “buy once, cry once” option for riders who are planning to put serious mileage into the bike and want the best parts of the range from day one.

UK pricing (as listed at launch) lands as follows: £4,999 for the Scree S 600, £5,399 for the Scree S, £5,799 for the Scree R, and £6,599 for the Scree RR. In context, that positions the Scree as a genuinely competitive option in the full-power trail category, especially given the Bosch CX Gen 5 platform and the availability of the 800Wh battery on most builds.

Who the Mondraker Scree is for

The Scree makes the most sense for riders who want one eMTB that can do a bit of everything: trail centres, natural riding, big-mileage days, and the occasional “let’s see what happens” line choice—without forcing you into a heavy enduro bike that only comes alive when you’re riding flat-out. It’s also an appealing proposition for newer eMTB riders, because the geometry and travel choices are designed to feel manageable rather than intimidating.

If your riding is mostly steep, uplift-driven and big-hit-focused, you may prefer something with more rear travel and a more gravity-first build. But if your rides are varied, your terrain is mixed, and you want a bike that turns more of your local trails into repeatable, fun laps, the Scree’s overall brief looks spot on.
