Mondraker Introduces The 2016 Carbon Dune
Friday, June 26, 2015 at 6:07AM ;)
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.
