The Madonna V3 is the most capable, adjustable, and durable bike we’ve ever built. It’ll take on the roughest tracks, the longest rides, all the while never shying away from a climb.
While we haven’t lost our focus on durability, we’ve added adjustability to make it even more versatile. The fourth iteration of the Madonna will have your back, no matter what.
If you want to learn more about the shock choice or the two different rocker link options, you can find all details about the Madonna V3 on this page.
The frames are regularly available with the rocker link options shown in the selection on the side. If you prefer a different rocker link, please send us an e-mail to hello@raawmtb.com and we will check the availability of the preferred configuration.

Shock Options & compatibility
We recommend using one of the shocks offered here, as each of them is specifically tuned to the Madonnas suspension kinematics. Building on these you'll also find a great setup in no time with the help of our setup guides. However, the Madonna frame does offer ample clearance for almost all shocks. Only if the shock body or reservoir is too big it might interfere with the downtube or lower shock mount at full travel. You can find more information on the support page under "Compatibility information".

I am not a professional, just found passion of riding MTB in my late 30s. I own few bikes like Voodo, Mondraker ebike, Ghost riot, but I am lucky to find RAAW Madonna and add it to my collection. None of previous bikes gave me confidence or feeling that this is the right bike for me. But RAAW Madonna took me to some good places and improved my skills and confidence. I am from UK (unfortunate Brexit logistics country) but that did not stop me buying from RAAW. Customer support was amazing, service was amazing, shipping was amazing, UK customs was a little bit amazing as I needed to fait few extra days. But now, I al riding RAAW in UK, where not many people know this brand, only professionals or technicians! As they all complimenting my choice. I highly recommend buying, even if you will need to deal with UK customs. That was smooth process.

Thank you RAAW!
What a bike!
I've been riding the bike this season and it's been a blast. Riding bike parks, trail parks and local trails, all with ease. Both uphill and of course down hill. Coming from a full carbon enduro bike with great specs I was a bit sceptic about the weight but the pedal efficiency is really great, less fatigue with this one compared with my previous one.
I've also gained lots of confidence in the bike park again thanks to this bike, both in steeper and rougher sections but also in the jumps.
Maintenance vice, I've basically only cleaned it and lubed the chain, still as quiet as new.
Overall a great bike that really does what RAAW and every review says!

Ich fahre das Madonna V3 nun seit rund vier Monaten und konnte es in dieser Zeit auf verschiedenstem Gelände testen: von Singletrails über Enduro-Strecken und DH-Lines bis hin zum Bikepark. Mein Fazit: Dieses Bike hält allem stand, was man ihm vorsetzt. Besonders überrascht hat mich, wie viel Spaß es im Bikepark macht – egal ob auf Jumplines, über Wurzeln oder in steinigem Gelände, das Madonna fühlt sich überall zu Hause und animiert regelrecht dazu, Gas zu geben.
Geometrie & Fahrgefühl
Schon beim ersten Aufsitzen fühlt man sich direkt wohl. Die Kombination aus tiefem Tretlager, hohem Stack und langem Hinterbau vermittelt enorm viel Sicherheit und Grip am Vorderrad. Mit meinen 1,82 m passt mir die Größe L perfekt.
Einstellungen & Setup
Gefahren bin ich das Rad sowohl im MX-Setup als auch als reinen 29er, und bis jetzt kann ich mich noch nicht entscheiden, welche Konfiguration mir besser gefällt. Mit Kettenstrebenlängen und Dämpferprogression habe ich bisher noch nicht experimentiert, fahre aktuell die Mittelposition bei beidem – und bin damit absolut zufrieden.
Fazit
Für mich ist das Madonna V3 das beste Bike, das ich bisher gefahren bin – und ich habe nicht das Gefühl, dass sich das so schnell ändern wird. Zukünftig werden meine Bikes definitiv wieder von RAAW kommen.

It is a very easy bike to get on with from the very first ride. Geometry is really dialled giving perfect blend between liveliness and stability/confidence. It looks amazing too.
