Danny Hart And Mondraker Part Ways

At Mondraker we are fully committed to Racing. Downhill Racing is in our roots, in the blood that runs through our veins since the very first day we were born as a MTB brand. MS-Mondraker is the best representative of our spirit, the team that shows and shares our same vision and DNA.

It’s with great sadness that we have to announce the departure of Danny Hart from MS-Mondraker Team. It’s been a very successful three year journey filled with incredible emotions where we shared the same passion to winning races, the same commitment for becoming the best that led to a 2016 season that will forever remain in the history books as one of the most thrilling -and the most successful one for MS-Mondraker becoming the number 1 Team in the overall ranking, Mondraker, Summum Carbon and Danny Hart himself- winning the last 3 World Cup races and the World Championships in the most challenging and demanding track of the season, Val di Sole, claiming the top spot of the podium and Mondraker making a clean sweep with Laurie Greenland 2nd and Florent Payet 3rd. A unique and a once in a lifetime achievement that no other brand had ever accomplished. A second to none success for us as a brand. 

Some of the most incredible Danny runs will forever remain in our mind and in our hearts, as his first ever World Cup win at Lenzerheide or the World Championship winning downhill run. The undefeated Danny Hart & Summum Carbon duo of the second part of the 2016 season ending up in bright World Champion rainbow jersey stripes. We are very grateful Danny, that’s how we will remind you! Together we achieved something we could have never ever dreamed of.

A new exciting 2018 season has already started with many surprises and MS-Mondraker Team riders will fight again to clinch as many podium finishes as possible and deliver their best performances!

Same way as we do at Mondraker every year. 

Guerrilla Gravity DH (GGDH) Updates

GG has done some updating to their GGDH. They have gone the 650b route, added rear tire clearance, and made the frame a tad bit longer.

GGDH Updates

• Park Mode is the shorter travel, lower BB, and more progressive mode. This mode is ideal for jump lines and riders who thrive on a more playful, poppy platform.

• Race Mode is the longer travel, higher BB, and more linear mode. This mode is for smashing through rock gardens and riding the absolute steepest terrain you can find.

• Improved tire clearance now provides a very roomy 12 mm per side with a Maxxis 2.4 DH tire, more than double the EN required amount

• Longer front-center to ensure continuity between their other bike models for given rider height

• Ever important frame color choices--10 frame colors and 6 decal colors are available, allowing riders to build something unique to them

 

GGDH Features 

• 203 mm (8") rear travel
• Dual modes adjusted via shock mount
  
  • Race Mode

Mondraker Introduces The 2016 Carbon Dune

The new Dune Carbon will make you take on your next Enduro race with the ultimate bike on the market. Here is the perfect blend between the Cross Country climbing ability and the performance of a Summum going downhill... Go full gas and enjoy your Dune Day.

Dune Carbon combines the best lightness and efficiency qualities of the Foxy Carbon with the top features of Summum Carbon: a very structurally robust frameset suited adapted to the Enduro racing demands.

A new lower link with collet-axle pivots and bolts with expander cone washers that offer maximum reliability without any maintenance needs and the choice to adjust its geometry, slacken the head angle and chain stay length.

Professional Enduro races such as the EWS require not only a good physical condition, but also the most complete bike. For these reasons, besides our best Stealth Carbon frameset with our exclusive Forward Geometry and optimized Zero suspension system with 160mm rear wheel travel, the bike also offers the option of choosing the head tube angle with + 1 / -1 ° and chain stay length in 430mm or 440mm. The result speaks for itself: Dune Carbon is the most sophisticated and advanced multiadjustable Enduro bike of the moment.

Mondraker Dune Carbon is the representation and culmination of the currently most complete Enduro racing bike. A sophisticated frameset with unique features weighting just 2,450 grams (5.4lbs) without rear shock. Mondraker’s best technologies applied to the ultimate Enduro race bike.

The characteristics of the Stealth Carbon technology are curved and rounded shapes, which are clearly visible and make its impressive appearance even more striking.

Dune Carbon stands out from the rest with exceptional structural rigidity denoting its careful craftsmanship and the studied positioning of each and every one of the carbon layers that make it up.

What stands out above all is our Vacuum Compression Process method, through which the frame undergoes a process of fiber compression through a vacuum at high pressure: This method guarantees the reliability of the structure, achieving results in terms of strength and rigidity that are greater than those for fibers only applied manually.

The Dune Carbon features a new optimization of the Zero system, specially optimized to offer the best performance with 1X gearings with the most neutral pedaling performance and the most capable rear suspension.

Thanks to the Stealth Carbon construction and the new bearings and oversized axles of the Zero system, the Dune Carbon offers a better performance and a supreme efficiency for a racing Enduro bike to be more agile, suppler and faster. Virtually the same Summum Carbon performance for an Enduro model.

Forward Geometry is based on a geometry concept that features longer top tubes in combination with a shorter stem.

Dune Carbon is assembled with the FG30 30mm length stem for the three models R, RR and XR and for the 4 sizes: S, M, L and XL. Optionally, FG10 and FG20 stems are offered too.

The advantages of Forward Geometry lay on a better control of your bike, superior handling, stability and higher confidence, which are key facts in an Enduro Bike when it comes to beating our time against the clock.

Geometry

Dune Carbon is available in 4 different sizes: S, M, L and XL. Dune Carbon XR and its frameset kit include the adjustable geometry kit to steepen or slacken the head angle (+1º/-1º) and chain stays 430mm or 440mm.
