Mondraker Frameset Arid Carbon superblack 2027: the carbon gravel frame built for fast adventure

A high-end gravel frame designed for long rides and varied terrain.

The Mondraker Arid Carbon Superblack 2027 frameset is the ideal foundation for building a high-end gravel bike capable of going anywhere, fast, long, and without compromise. Designed around the philosophy "Limitless Potential. Gravel Evolved.", this carbon frameset embodies the very DNA of the Arid: versatility, efficiency, comfort, and a true ability to ride on all terrains.

Neither a simple adventure bike nor a pure gravel racing bike, the Arid was developed to unite both worlds on a single platform. The result: a modern, fast, and balanced frame, designed to tackle both long, challenging rides and the most demanding courses, with the option to create a custom build perfectly suited to your riding style.

In this 2027 Frameset version, Mondraker offers a particularly refined carbon platform, featuring an Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame, Stealth Air Carbon fork, integrated downtube storage, HHG internal cable routing, T47 bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, thru-axles, and carefully selected components. A premium base for a modern, high-performance, and limitless gravel build.

Frame

Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame

The Mondraker Arid Frameset 2027 is based on an Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame, designed as a true multi-discipline tool. Its performance combines sportiness, comfort, and stability to inspire confidence on long distances, fast trails, rough sections, and more unpredictable terrain.

A truly versatile gravel platform

The Arid Carbon wasn't designed as just an "off-road" bike. It was conceived for all roads, all surfaces, all distances, and all purposes. It appeals to performance-oriented riders as well as cyclists looking for a machine capable of handling long gravel adventures.

A gravel bike born to go fast

True to Mondraker DNA, the Arid was developed with a simple idea: to go fast without sacrificing versatility. Validated in major events like La Traka, Unbound, and Badlands, it demonstrates that a gravel bike can be fast, stable, and ready for adventure.

Modern and technical design

The frame features a T47 bottom bracket, a tapered head tube, HHG internal cable routing, a 12x142mm rear axle, Flat Mount compatibility, and a design specifically for 1x drivetrains. SRAM UDH compatibility completes the package for easy maintenance and to accommodate modern builds.

Fork

Optimized Stealth Air Carbon fork

The frameset comes with a Stealth Air Carbon fork with a tapered steerer. Mondraker has optimized this fork with a cleaner profile, a slight weight saving, and more vertical flex where it matters, to improve comfort and trail feel.

Comfort and filtration on long rides

This work on the fork is a key part of the Arid's character: a bike capable of high performance while remaining comfortable on long rides. It's the kind of detail that doesn't necessarily stand out on a spec sheet, but is clearly felt on the trail.

Modern integration

The fork features a tapered steerer, Flat Mount integration and HHG internal cable routing, perfectly in keeping with the overall design of the frame.

Tire clearance

Up to 50 mm clearance

One of the great strengths of the Mondraker Arid Frameset 2027 is its ability to accept tires up to 50 mm wide, without any adjustments or compromises. This makes it one of the most versatile platforms in its segment for riding fast, comfortably, and with more grip on varied terrain.

More freedom on all terrains

This wide clearance allows for a wide variety of builds, from fast, high-volume gravel bikes to more demanding configurations for rough tracks, rocky paths, or long bikepacking adventures.

Integrated storage

Redesigned internal storage

The frame incorporates a storage system within the tube, an iconic element of the ARID experience. On this 2027 generation, the internal compartment has been improved to facilitate access to and removal of the bag or its contents.

Practical, discreet and efficient

This storage solution makes it easier to carry essential items for your outing: tools, nutrition, a spare inner tube, or a repair kit. It's a clean, intuitive solution, especially useful for long rides where self-sufficiency is key.

Geometry and sizes

A balanced and reassuring geometry

The Arid Carbon was designed to offer a balance between performance, stability, and comfort. Its handling inspires confidence over long distances, with a chassis that remains precise when the pace increases and reassuring when the terrain becomes more technical.
