[[{“value”:”RAAW has had the enduro formula locked down with their Madonna bike lineage for a while now, but their highly adjustable alloy frames came with a price premium. For their latest frame, RAAW wanted to deliver all of the performance we’ve come to expect from a Madonna, but at a slightly cheaper price point.
Enter the RAAW Madonna R, a bike designed to maximize thrills and minimize frills. We were excited to see how it stacked up against the best enduro mountain bikes on the market.

We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the supporting brands who kitted us out and made this series possible. Without their financial support, this eight-bike comparison test would not have happened. Their products helped us to stay comfortable and ensured consistent performance for all of the trail time required to test these bikes.
