FAQs
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH I CAN RUN ON THE DUSTY?
To guarantee the proper clearance on both fork and frame, maximum recommended width should not exceed
700x47c.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL A SUSPENSION FORK ON DUSTY?
Sure you can install a suspension fork, gravel specific with a maximum travel of 50mm. In fact, Dusty XR model is
specced with a RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR with 40mm of travel.
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD A RANGE EXTENDER TO RIDE LONGER?
At Mondraker we oer an Range Extender e185 from Mahle “water-bottle” mount style which oers 171Wh. It
weighs 1.1 kilogram and, additionally, you will enjoy greater 50% longer range compared to the internal 350Wh
battery. It features 21.700 cells, takes 1h to recharge it up to 80% (2h for completely charged).
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISASSEMBLE THE INTERNAL BATTERY?
Dusty models have been designed with the best possible performance and design integration in mind so internal
350Wh battery is not removable. To charge the Dusty you have to plug it directly to a wall socket.
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM ASSISTANCE I CAN GET FROM THE DUSTY MOTOR?
Dusty models feature the same frame and the same Mahle’s latest generation X20 hub motor. The weight of the
motor is only 1.4 kilograms and delivers 23Nm to the wheel, comparable to 55Nm on a mid-motor.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE ASSISTANCE MODES ON THE DUSTY?
The X20 system on the Dusty features three assistance modes for dedicated gravel riding which are driven by the
Watts On Demand concept. The assistance provided by the motor in each of the modes is proportional to the phy-
sical eort you make. Mode 1 oers a level of assistance up to 25% greater than our physical eort. Mode 2 oers
up to 50% more and mode 3 ranges from 70% to 200% more power than the eort we apply when pedalling. It
is a level of support that feels very natural, not intrusive, providing just the right amount of power in each of the
modes, optimizing and maximizing battery life and range. The three modes are configurable and can individua-
lly modify the maximum power, acceleration and initial support / reactivity in each level of assistance. Through
the Mahle MySmartbike app -available for both iOS and Android devices- you can find all the data related to your
experience riding the Dusty as well as access to the customization of the assistance modes.
WHICH INFORMATION DOES THE DUSTY’S DISPLAY OFFER?
Mahle’s 2.1” sized Pulsar One display features wireless connectivity and allows you to visualize at a glance
information on screen such as main -and range extender if connected- battery charge status, assistance level,
riding data such as current speed, average speed, trip and total distance, trip time, cadence, power sensor (real
time data on watts of power output) or heart rate (via ANT+ sensors). It works with a CR2032 battery and uses a
mounting bracket compatible with Garmin devices. Any GPS device with Bluetooth/ANT+ connectivity with eBike
protocol is likewise capable of displaying the system data on screen.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM FIRMWARE?
Sure. This operation is done through the battery charger that will update the system simultaneously while char-
ging the bike. To do so, we will have to download the latest version of the firmware available from the PC/Mac to
the charger itself through the Micro-USB port and, once we connect the charging port on the bike itself to charge
the battery, the system will be updated.
I HAVE NOT BEEN RIDING FOR LONG AND NOW MY BIKE DOES NOT TURN ON, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If you have not ridden the Dusty for more than 60 days, the bike automatically goes into sleep mode. Plug in the
charger and keep it plugged in for at least 1 hour to reactivate the motor and battery operation properly. If you
are sure that you are not going to ride the bike for a long time, keep in mind that in order to keep the battery
working at its best and extend its life, it is important to store it between 20 and 80 percent.
