Madonna V3 Öhlins Rolling Chassis

This rolling chassis now shipps with the updated Öhlins RXF38 m.3 fork. Images may still show the previous RXF38 M.2.

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.

With the Rolling Chassis Kit we offer you a high-quality foundation for your individual Madonna build. You'll be ready to go in no time with the included component package yet still have plenty of room to create your own personal bike masterpiece – who wants an off the shelf build anyway?

We provide a Öhlins RXF38 m.3 fork with the frame, which you can combine with your preferred Öhlins or Fox shock at the rear. We also offer the Rolling Chassis with Fox forks – click here for that.

Included is a OneUp Components V3 Dropper, with the choice of drop starting at 150 mm and going all the way up to 240 mm of travel, to provide the optimal setup for every rider. Their V3 handlebar remote is also included. If you need some help determining the amount of drop for you, click here.

For the cockpit, we rely again on OneUp Components and offer you the stem in two lengths of 42 mm or 50 mm and their carbon handlebar with either 20 mm or 35 mm rise, so you can feel comfortable from the get go. Ergon’s GD1 Evo Factory grips and SM10 Enduro saddle round out the touch points. If you're unsure which combination of stem and bar is best for you, click here for more information on the perfect cockpit setup.

The Rolling Chassis can be topped off with the with the optional DT Swiss EX1700 or Newmen Beskar 30 Enduro wheels. Both are available as full 29" or 29"/27.5" options and you can choose between Sram XD or Shimano Microspline freehubs. You receive the Maxxis Assegai with EXO+ casing up front and a Maxxis Minion DHR II with DD casing out back on top. This combination is our current go-to in almost all conditions. The Maxxis tyres, rim tape and valves are a bonus to the wheels, if you decide to order your rolling chassis without wheels, those components will not be included.

To get you off to a good start in building your new bike, we've already pressed the headset cups into the frame and mounted the crown race on the fork. The tubeless tape and valves are also installed, you’ll just need to add in some sealant. The rest of the components are ready for you to assemble – this way you can truly experience the build process from the ground up and get to know your new bike and all its technical details. But you’re never on your own, as our support is always there if you need help building and can’t find the answer you’re after in our extensive knowledge base.

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.

It was worth it

I first knew I wanted a RAAW the day I wandered into my local bike shop in Cape Town.
It was one of those casual visits where you’re not really planning to buy anything—you’re just there to avoid work, smell the grease, poke at shiny things, and pretend you have more self-control than you actually do.

Then I saw it. In the workshop stand was this raw alloy, purposeful-looking machine. I couldn’t even tell you the exact model at the time, probably a v2 Madonna, Öhlins hanging off it, full-blooded enduro sled. The lines, finish, the minimalist silhouette… I just stood there and drooled. That was my first introduction to RAAW.

The timing, of course, was terrible. I was already fully invested in another bike at that time—my then dream bike—a full-carbon similarly Öhlins clad monster. The carbon seduced me away from metal bikes in a moment of weakness. Shiny, light, exotic. But I somehow felt like I’d betrayed myself. I was terrified of hurting it in a crash, on the bike rack, leaning it against a wall. So Instead of riding it like a mountain bike, I fussed over it like fine china. This must be how it feels to be a roadie?

Then came the crash. I was sidelined for a few months. Plenty of time to think, and as it often happens, time off the bike turned into time dreaming about the next build. But I already knew what I wanted this time and that’s when the idea of owning a RAAW really took hold.

See, I’m tall—very tall—so fit is always a bit of a circus with me and my bikes. When I started digging into the Madonna v3 and saw the stack height and that XXL option, it felt like someone had finally designed a bike for actual tall people….and even better, a bike that didn’t look like some stretched-out farm gate.

So early 2025, I reached out to RAAW and got in touch with Sophia. From the first emails, she was patient and generous with her time. I guess they get a lot of tire kickers. I certainly felt like one. But she answered all my questions, never once making me feel like I was asking too much.
And then, life did what life does. By the end of 2025 I found myself moving to another country. New city, new logistics, new financial priorities. New bikes had to go on hold, no matter how badly I wanted that Madonna v3. I sold off most of my other bikes in the process, but the mountain-bike-shaped hole in my life just got bigger. But I knew exactly what was going to fill it with eventually. Months passed. The conversation with RAAW went quiet from my side while I handled all the boring grown-up stuff. When things finally settled a bit, I reached out again, half expecting I’d have to reintroduce myself and start over. I didn’t.

The team at RAAW picked up our conversation like we’d last spoken the week before. This was it. I pulled the trigger. A few days later, a box arrived. I’d seen every photo and review in existence, but opening that box still made me feel fuzzy in funny places….
The frame was every bit as beautiful as I’d hoped. The welding, the finish, the way everything felt solid and intentional. But most appreciated was a postcard with a handwritten note. Who even does that anymore?? Great assembly instructions thoughtfully put together. A poster. A surprisingly detailed manual. Extra decals. And a small fabric “shopping bag” that has somehow become my go-to grocery bag. None of these were strictly necessary; the frame alone would’ve sold me. But those touches made it feel less like I’d bought a product and more like I’d joined a small tribe who really cares about what they put into the world. I didn’t feel like I’d just spent money on another toy. I felt like I’d invested in something.

My build isn’t finished yet…I'm still waiting for all my stuff to arrive by sea. Parts are still being hunted down, choices still being made. But the frame hangs where I can see it, like art, and every time I walk past, I catch myself staring at it, mentally fast-forwarding to the first proper ride. So yeah, thanks team RAAW. You didn’t just sell me a frame. You reminded me why I love this in the first place.

I’ve never ridden a bike so capable of railing corners while staying totally stable on the downhills. Let go of the brakes and it does the work for you, couldn’t recommend this build enough
