As the pinnacle of Mondraker’s Arid series, it seamlessly combines advanced carbon engineering with a refined geometry and thoughtful design, delivering an unparalleled riding experience.

At the heart of the Arid Carbon R is the Stealth Air Carbon frame, a prime example of Mondraker’s commitment to high-performance engineering. This frame offers the perfect balance of lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer, combined with vertical compliance to absorb rough, uneven terrain. The frame's 70° headtube angle ensures stability and control when descending, while the 425mm chainstay provides agile handling, making it a highly responsive ride. The frame is available in sizes ranging from S to XL, with a new M/L size option, allowing riders of all statures to find their ideal fit. The Arid Carbon R features Mondraker’s signature Forward Geometry, which optimizes handling and responsiveness, providing riders with an intuitive and dynamic feel no matter the terrain.

Practicality is key for gravel riders, and the Arid Carbon R delivers on that front with several cutting-edge features. One of the standout innovations is the Carry-On downtube storage system, offering a secure, waterproof, and dustproof space to store essentials like tools, snacks, and extra gear. This convenient storage system ensures your items remain safe and dry even in the most rugged conditions. Additionally, the Arid Carbon R boasts generous tire clearance, supporting tires up to 50mm wide for improved grip and stability on challenging surfaces. The frame also offers multiple mounting points for up to six water bottle cages, perfect for long rides where hydration is essential.

Comfort and control are key to the Arid Carbon R’s design. With lightweight carbon handlebars and a 27.2mm carbon seatpost, this bike ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, even on extended gravel adventures. The custom HEX bar tape provides added cushioning and grip, while the aluminum stem integrates seamlessly with the frame, enhancing the bike’s sleek, cohesive look. The geometry of the Arid Carbon R is crafted for an optimal riding position, with a reach ranging from 363mm to 446mm and a stack height of 548mm to 642mm, depending on the frame size.

For those who demand the ultimate gravel bike, the Mondraker Arid Carbon R is the ideal choice.
