The Arid Carbon R is built around Mondraker’s Stealth Air carbon frame, shaped for efficiency, comfort and control across a wide range of gravel riding. The geometry balances stability for long distances with a lively feel when pushing the pace, making it equally suited to endurance racing or multi-day exploration.
Generous clearance allows tyres up to 50mm, giving you the option to tune grip and comfort for rough tracks, loose surfaces or bikepacking loads. The carbon frame and fork work together to reduce trail buzz, helping keep fatigue in check over long hours in the saddle.
Mondraker’s attention to detail shows throughout the frame design. HHG internal cable routing keeps the look clean and quiet, while UDH compatibility improves drivetrain alignment and future-proofing. The Carry-On downtube storage system lets you stow tools, spares or food inside the frame, reducing the need for bags that can affect handling or aesthetics.
SRAM Rival XPLR AXS delivers wireless electronic shifting with a wide 10–46T cassette and a single 40T chainring. The setup offers consistent shifts under load and a gear range that works well for steep climbs and long days on mixed terrain.
Mavic Allroad SL wheels provide a strong, dependable platform for gravel riding, with tubeless-ready rims that pair well with the 45mm Maxxis Reaver tyres. The tyres roll efficiently on firmer surfaces while offering predictable grip when things get loose or rough.
With multiple bottle mounts, internal storage and a carefully considered carbon layup, the Mondraker Arid Carbon R is built for riders who like to choose their own line, distance and destination.
