After entering the world of composite frames with the Foxy trail bike and then the Summum downhiller, Mondraker has completed the trilogy with an all-new composite framed version of its 160mm travel Dune enduro bike.
Using the lessons learned from having top class riders such as Danny Hart session its carbon frames at the highest levels of downhill racing, Mondraker’s engineers have shaved more than half a kilo from the alloy Dune frame’s weight. High-tech mouldings and new tube profiles have been used to radically lighten the Spanish firm’s already boundary-pushing, extra-long Forward Geometry design.
Tweakable and tougher
As well as translating the basic frame design, Mondraker has taken the opportunity to add adjustability and boost durability.

Adjustable chainstay length and headset cup inserts allow you to tweak the bike to your desires; larger diameter bearings with collet axles also feature. By using a reversible chip to locate the 142x12mm (no Boost 148 here, kids) rear axle, it’s possible to move from a 430mm to 440mm chainstay.
Flippable inserts allow chainstay length to be adjusted from 430 to 440mm
