The RAAW Madonna is an enduro mountain bike designed to ride up and down mountains.
It is a product that needs to be built up carefully by a professional mechanic, with
components that fit according to the technical specifications. The bike needs to be
maintained and checked on a regular basis to avoid damage or uncommon wear. All
components need to be taken care of, as described in the manufacturers manual.
The RAAW Madonna can be used for all kinds of trails including bikepark riding, but the
owner is always fully responsible for his or her riding.

The cable routing is fully external, which makes it a dream for the assembly of the brake,
seat post and derailleur. Here is an overview of the advised routing:
With a different configuration on the handlebars, the position of the cables on the front of
the downtube can be changed.
Make sure the cables are not twisted to avoid them rubbing the frame. The hose of the
brake and the cable of the derailleur need a little s-bend above the BB as picture below. This
is important for the movement of the rear suspension. We recommend to assemble the
cables without the shock mounted, to be able to verify the free movement of the
suspension.
The components chosen to build up the frame need to fit according to the technical
specifications.
Most shocks of other manufacturers than Fox will fit the Madonna. However, we do not
guaranty that all shock with large and wide piggy-bags will fit, especially size small and
medium.
All frame bolts including the brake mount bolts need to be tightened to 12 nm. The main
pivot nut needs to be tightened to 50 nm. Make sure to use a thread-locker in medium
strength for the brake mount bolts. All frame bolts should be assembled with grease on the
thread and contact surfaces.
The bike needs to be maintained and checked on a regular basis to avoid damage or
uncommon wear. All components need to be taken care of, as described in the
manufacturers manual. Cleaning should be done with water, mild soap and a brush. The
Madonna has a fully sealed pivot design, but it is still recommendable to avoid pressure
washing.
Seat post cable
Brake hose
Gear cable
Check free movement of the brake
hose and gear cable during assembly
at fully compressed suspension.
Our frames are produced by one of the world’s best companies, Genio Bikes, who are based
in Taiwan. The frames are tested to ISO standards and additional in-house standards. We
guarantee the highest quality and provide a warranty service for two years. The warranty
covers manufacturing and material failure. Damage caused by a crash or wear is not covered
by the warranty.
Bad things can happen and crashes are a part of our sport. If you happen to damage your
Madonna frame, we offer a crash replacement program over a period of five years. Our
crash replacement program is an additional program we offer to support you when things
don’t go your way. The crash replacement is valid on frames that are damaged up to the
point where it becomes a threat to your safety. It is upon us to judge if this is the case or
not. Intentionally caused damage is excluded from our policy.
If you have a damaged frame and would like to use our crash replacement program, please
send us good quality photos and a description of the incident causing the damage. We also
need the original invoice, but you don’t need to be the first owner.
If your case is within our policy we will send you an offer that roughly translates in a -35%
discount on the part of the frame that is damaged. This way you will only have to replace the
damaged parts. The damaged frame has to be send back to us.
We have stock of frames and hardware for warranty and crash replacement, but we keep
the right to offer the best alternative if a certain model, color or size is not available.
