Algupära

Mondraker is a Spanish brand founded in 2001 in Alcoy, in the Alicante region, and quickly built a reputation for pushing frame geometry harder than its rivals. In 2013 it introduced Forward Geometry — a radically long front-centre paired with a very short (10-30mm) stem — which was controversial at launch but is now effectively the industry standard for modern trail and enduro bikes. The Raze arrived in 2022 as Mondraker's short-travel trail platform, slotting below the longer-travel Foxy. It borrows the light Stealth Air carbon construction and XC-derived thinking from the F-Podium cross-country bike, then wraps it around the brand's Zero twin-link suspension and integrated MIND telemetry. The goal was explicitly a 'do-it-all' 29er that could climb like a downcountry bike yet descend with the composure of something with more travel.

Tehnilised andmed

Raam: Stealth Air full carbon (RR/RR SL/Carbon R) or 6061 alloy Stealth Evo (Raze R); hydroformed tubing, threaded BB, internal cable routing
Kaal: kg
Jõuülekanne: SRAM Eagle 1x12 — X01/GX mix on RR, X01 on RR SL, GX/lower on R trims
Pidurid: SRAM (G2 RSC/RS on early carbon builds; Code R/RS 4-piston on later builds), 180mm rotors
Rattad: 29" (DT Swiss XM1700 / Mavic Crossmax XL depending on trim)

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Ultra-responsive, agile handling — 'think it, already done it' steering that makes many rivals feel dull
Light and efficient climber for a 150/130mm trail bike, with minimal rear-end bob
MIND telemetry genuinely helps dial in suspension setup, and the frame looks/feels special

−Nõrkused

Rear suspension can lack reserves and bottom out on the roughest, fastest terrain
Stock 180mm rotors and EXO-casing tyres are underspecced for the bike's descending pace (fade + puncture risk)
Very sharp handling demands adaptation and rewards aggressive, precise riders more than beginners; carbon trims are expensive

Põlvkonnad

2022 launch (carbon-only)
- Original range was carbon-only (R / RR / RR SL) with MIND telemetry; some builds criticised for underspecced 180mm rotors and EXO tyres.
Käik
150/130mm
Raam
Stealth Air carbon
Pidurid
early builds used lighter SRAM G2 2-piston on some trims
2023-2024 (alloy added)
- Mondraker added a much cheaper alloy Raze R (~€4k) to broaden access; same geometry and suspension, heavier frame, entry-level components.
Käik
150/130mm
Raam
Adds 6061 alloy Stealth Evo 'Raze R'
Pidurid
wider move to 4-piston Code brakes on capable builds
