Mondraker Arid Carbon Frameset

The Mondraker Arid Carbon Frameset gives gravel riders the freedom to build around the routes they actually want to ride. Fast hardpack, rough backroads and longer journeys all suit its adaptable design. At the center is a Stealth Air Carbon frame that balances a responsive pedaling feel with the compliance needed to stay comfortable when the surface becomes unpredictable.

Mondraker shapes that balance through the carbon layup, reinforcing the areas around the bottom bracket and head tube for stiffness while allowing the rear triangle to provide vertical compliance. The result is a rigid gravel platform designed to hold its pace over uneven ground without making every small impact feel harsh. Forward Geometry guides the handling and fit, with five frame sizes, S, M, M/L, L and XL, offering an intermediate option between medium and large.

The Carry-On storage compartment makes room for essentials inside the downtube. A watertight, dustproof cover protects the contents, while three removable pouches secured with hook-and-loop fasteners organize a tube, tire levers, a pump or smaller tools. Keeping those items in the frame reduces the need to load pockets or attach a separate bag for shorter rides.

Practical details give the custom build a clear starting point. The frame uses a T47 bottom bracket, tapered head tube and 12x142mm rear axle, with a UDH interface and dedicated 1x drivetrain layout. HHG internal cable routing keeps the finished bike tidy, and flat-mount brake compatibility defines the braking interface. These interfaces help guide component selection while leaving the rider free to shape the final build.

The Arid platform is designed around clearance for tires up to 50mm wide, opening the door to setups that favor speed, comfort or rough-surface grip. Frame mounting positions include the main triangle, underside of the downtube and top tube for flexible carrying arrangements. As a frameset, this offering puts the emphasis on the carbon chassis and its built-in practicality, providing a foundation for a gravel bike with a distinctly personal purpose.
