MONDRAKER Frame 28" Arid Carbon RR SL | Fangsia
Mondraker was born out of Spanish downhill racer Miguel Pina's passion for mountain biking in 2001 to develop modern mountain bikes with a clear design language and innovative performance features such as the Zero Suspension System and Forward Geometry of the highest quality. Bikes that make the difference. Bikes that win! These approaches are the foundations of Mondraker's company philosophy and are naturally lived by all employees and team riders, which is also reflected in the new headquarters opening in 2021 in Alicante on the Costa Blanca in Spain. Anyone who has always wondered where the name Mondraker comes from? It is derived from the cartoon hero "Mandrake - the Magician".
The Arid Carbon RR SL is authentic, fast and intuitively tempts you to follow your instincts. This makes it the perfect partner on all tours - no matter what gravel means to you. The area around Alicante on the Costa Blanca is known for its heat, dry climate, rocks and gravel. This (arid) environment shapes and forms the people who have developed this gravel bike and this DNA is reflected in the character of the Arid Carbon.
The design of a bike is an essential part of Mondraker's philosophy, and the Arid Carbon is no exception. The low-set chainstays not only emphasize the aggressive look of a modern gravel bike, as they provide the appropriate comfort and smooth ride feel in any terrain. Thanks to the Stealth Air Carbon technology, the engineers were able to optimize every detail of the frame to the specific requirements of gravel sport so that the frame has the appropriate stiffness and at the same time releases sufficient compliance where necessary. This guarantees the best propulsion when pedaling hard and the necessary grip and comfort on any terrain.
Naturally, all cables and lines run through the frame with the help of the HHG Cable Routing System, underlining the simple design and ensuring a clean look. The Arid Carbon has a total of 6 mounting points for water bottles or similar accessories on the frame and fork. Another highlight is the integrated storage compartment (Carry-On System), which is being used for the first time on a Mondraker. Here you can stow a multitool, tube, bars, gel or even your travel documents safely and silently. The storage compartment is accessible via a waterproof and dustproof flap in the down tube.
Stealth Air Carbon
This technology enables the precise positioning and alignment of the carbon mats according to the requirements of the respective model. The result is a frame with the best ratio of strength, stiffness, vibration damping and weight in the unmistakable Mondraker design.
Hidden Housing Guide
All cables and lines are routed through the frame for a clean look.
