Mondraker is a Spanish bike company that was first introduced to the US last September and they have an array of carbon fiber and alloy trail bikes. Their claim to fame is their forward geometry concept which features a more extended front center with a shorter stem, for improved control and stability at speed.

Foxy Carbon

The new Foxy Carbon brings together their best and most sophisticated technologies and means the most significant evolution undergone by a model with its technical features. The 27.5″ bike comes in their top of the line Foxy Carbon RR SL than the Foxy Carbon RR, and Foxy Carbon R models. The front triangle features a more stylized layout with thinner tubes; an upper tube with a flatter profile that inspires and brings greater speed and lightness, establishing a new stiffness standard, along with a new rear with an entirely renewed and structurally reinforced swingarm. They offer it in two levels, the Stealth Carbon and Stealth Air Carbon; the latter lightweight layup is present in the exclusive RR SL.

Their Zero Suspension System has been fully optimized, and its redesigned rear suspension offers superior performance. Its more compact rear suspension features a new 15 mm thru-axle pivots with larger bearings. Due to its new kinematics, the structural and technological upgrades introduced and its increased travel to 150mm, its plushness, and overall absorption have significantly improved without losing any pedaling efficiency which makes the new Foxy even more versatile and much more capable.

Their Forward Geometry has also evolved so that Foxy Carbon remains to be their benchmark model with the best possible geometric balance. Also, it offers the possibility of adjusting the head angle in +/-1º and the chainstay length in +/- 10mm.

Dune RR

Dune

The Dune Carbon is a super enduro bike featuring 160mm and rear travel and 170mm in the front and features their Forward Geometry, Zero Suspension System and utilizes the Stealth Carbon technology. The 27.5″ bike comes in their top of the line Dune Carbon XR, followed by the Dune Carbon RR, and Dune Carbon R models. Like the Foxy it features their adjustable geometry design which includes adjustable headset cups for a +/- 1-degree headtube angle and 10mm of adjustability in the chainstays via the swappable dropouts.
