The RAAW Madonna V3 - Explained in Detail

Nov 13, 2023
by RAAW Mountain Bikes  

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.

The Madonna V3 is hugely capable and finely balanced on everything from tight natural single trails to flat-out bike park tracks. It’s ready when you are and will never throw in the towel before you do. 160 mm of rear wheel travel is paired with a 170 mm fork and the 29” front wheel can be combined with either a 29” or 27.5” wheel in the back.

Fine-tuning and setting up your bike exactly how you want is now possible with the Madonna V3. The bike’s geometry can be modified through adjustable BB height, chainstay length and head angle options. The suspension also comes with progression adjustment options as well as two rider-weight-specific rocker links. But don’t worry, if tinkering isn’t your thing, all mid-settings out of the box are what we’d recommend.

We believe bikes should be ridden hard and put away dirty. The Madonna V3 comes with double sealed pivots, hardware that can take a beating, and external cable routing. But when the time comes, you won’t need two degrees and four pairs of hands to give your bike some love back.

Grab a brew, sit down, and dive in deep with Ruben into all the reasons why the Madonna V3 is the way it is.

 Are the new lower shock mounts compatible with the V2.2? I'd like to try a mullet on my V2.2.

 Hi, no unfortunately not. The geometry of the lower shock mount on the V2.2 is different and the V2.2 frame doesn't have the clearance for the rear-end to extend further.

 Im 85kg with all my gear, and considered an aggressive rider. Would you recommend the Rocker 60 or 65?
