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".

Drei einfache Buchstaben: WOW.
Die ersten Trailmeter mit meinem Madonna V3 – und ich habe mich sofort wohl gefühlt. Bergauf tritt es sich effizient und angenehm, bergab war das Vertrauen ins Bike vom ersten Moment an bei 100 %. Ich freue mich auf viele weitere Biketage mit diesem genialen Bike.
Schade, dass man nur 5 Sterne vergeben kann – verdient hätte es definitiv mehr!

I've only managed a few rides so far, but this bike rips when you let her go. Reassuringly solid and stable through the rough and loves a berm. I'm still getting used to know the bike, but already I feel like it's giving me the confidence to ride with better technique.
The frame looks great too, and should be a breeze to work on. At 188cm the XL puts me nicely in the centre of the bike.

Zeit auf dem Bike maximiert
Danke Raaw-Team, dass ihr euch so viel Mühe gebt, dass wir Biker sorgenlos unserer Leidenschaft nachgehen können! Das Bike kam mit allen wichtigen Infos und Hilfestellungen, sodass ich es schnell aufbauen konnte. Das ist mein erstes Rad bei dem mir das das Schrauben auch Spaß macht, denn alles ist so easy wie möglich konzipiert. Und das Bike bietet so krass viel Sicherheit und macht einfach mega viel Spaß zu fahren. Es liegt satt auf den Steinfeldern und poppt gut über große Jumps. Genaus das habe ich mir gewünscht. Das gibt klare 5 Sterne! Weiter so!

Madonna v3 is an amazing frame, builds up to a bike that can conquer everything. On the first ride with Madonna in my local rocky downhill playground immediately the speed got faster, drops bigger and everything felt relaxed and in control. I think that is the best compliment you can give to a mountain bike.
In the future think all my bikes will be Raaw.
