Madonna V3 Frame Kit - Black 

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

You want to use a different shock? We can only guarantee full compatibility with the Fox and Öhlins models we offer and recommend. 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".

Madonna V3

Ich bin total begeistert von meinem Madonna V3, es fährt wirklich sehr gut. Es ist extrem beweglich um Kurven, auf schnelleren Stücken bleibt es stabil und Berg hoch geht es auch wirklich gut.

first impression

The bike came in box - perfect packing (other brands should learn from this). Personal touch - bag, cards, stickers, big poster with frame appart (my favourite) ... I was never so impressed when unpacking new bike.

I got Large
- 187cm, 91cm inseam, 189 arm spann
- I can tell, the bike is easy to handle, I can turn like "pro" ... because, let´s say the frame is at the MIN size I can accept. Normally I would go for L/XL, something in between. I had to choose smaller or larger frame, so I tried after many advices for smaller on.
- I am very happy with handling, riding ...
- I am not used to do big jumps / ride fast through rough on such "small" frame, I have to addapt, but for EN riding, it´s perfect
- I had a DH bike, so no need to take it to bikepark. If I would do so, then I deffinately stick with XL size for my body

Many people said, and I can say, it is definatelly true - this bike has very good turning potential, very well balanced. I am very impressed and I am happy with it. I swap from Commencal Meta and this suits me much more. Especially I am happy from bigger headtube.

I am glad, I purchase bike from this brand - it is not cheap, let´s be honest - it is the opposite, quite expensive ... BUT I have no regrets. It is worth every penny ;-).

So, may be I add something else, after few month of riding. This is about one month of riding, from hobby racer.

Have fun,
Ales

Excellent Bike

I haven't spent much time on my Madonna yet, but my time has been excellent. I can tell from the build that it will be easy to maintain, and there will be no surprises. Having all cables external and no proprietary parts will make things easy to deal with way into the future. The bike has a form-follow-function design that makes it a pleasure to build and will keep it from being a chore to work on. The RAAW team has spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the bike simple.

That simplicity extends to how the bike rides. There wasn't any adjustment time to speak of when riding the Madonna; it felt comfortable and easy to ride from the start. Even though its geometry is very different than my current daily driver, the Madonna felt good immediately. I knew I wasn't getting the bike for climbing, but it performed better than I had expected. The pedaling platform feels stable with the shock wide open, and I don't feel like I'm sinking deep into every pedal stroke. The bike's weight is apparent at slower speeds while trying to get it over downed logs or maneuvering flat, technical sections, although that's not what it's meant to excel at and doesn't take away from the ride. I'm thrilled with my new Madonna and can't wait to ride it more.
