Frame

Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame

THE Mondraker The Arid Carbon R 2027 is based on an Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame, designed to combine lightness, comfort, stiffness, and versatility. It's a high-end gravel frame designed for fast riding on a wide variety of terrain.

A gravel bike without compromise

The Arid is neither a pure racing bike adapted for adventure, nor an adventure bike simply capable of going fast. It was developed to do both: perform on demanding gravel races and accompany long exploratory rides.

Integrated frame storage

The frame incorporates an internal storage compartment, designed to carry tools, nutrition, or essential equipment. This system has been improved to facilitate access to and removal of the bag during the ride.

Modern and integrated design

The frame features internal HHG cable routing, a T47 bottom bracket, a tapered head tube, a 12x142mm rear axle, a UDH dropout, and a design dedicated to single chainring drivetrains.

Fork

Optimized Stealth Air Carbon fork

The Stealth Air Carbon fork adopts a clean and lightweight silhouette. Mondraker removed the side fixings to save approximately 20 grams, while improving vertical flex and comfort over long distances.

More comfort on demanding terrain

The fork is designed to filter vibrations, improve terrain feel, and reduce fatigue when the hours in the saddle add up. It's a subtle detail, but important on long gravel rides.

Flat Mount Integration and Braking

The fork features a tapered steerer, HHG internal cable routing and Flat Mount brake compatibility, consistent with the modern integration of the frame.

Geometry and piloting

Limitless versatility
