The Mondraker Arid Carbon S GRX combines lightweight carbon construction, versatile gravel geometry and dependable Shimano components to create a capable bike for fast-paced adventures and long-distance exploration. Built around Mondraker's Stealth Air Carbon frame, it balances responsive handling with the comfort and stability needed for demanding gravel routes. Its refined geometry encourages confident riding across loose surfaces, rough tracks and winding country roads, while the fully integrated cable routing maintains a clean, streamlined appearance. Whether tackling a challenging gravel event, exploring unfamiliar routes or heading out for an all-day adventure, the Arid Carbon S GRX is designed to deliver performance without sacrificing versatility.
Equipped with a Shimano GRX 1x12-speed drivetrain, the Arid Carbon S GRX provides precise shifting and an exceptionally wide gear range for tackling steep climbs and fast descents. A Shimano GRX RX610 crankset with a 40T chainring works alongside a Shimano SLX 10-51T cassette and GRX RX822-SGS rear derailleur, combining gravel-specific controls with mountain bike gearing. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm Ice-Tech rotors deliver dependable stopping power in changing conditions. Mavic Allroad Disc wheels are paired with Maxxis Reaver 700x45c tubeless-ready tyres, providing an effective balance of rolling efficiency, traction and puncture protection across mixed terrain.
Practical innovation is central to the Arid Carbon S GRX, with an integrated in-frame storage compartment providing convenient space for tools, nutrition and other riding essentials. The Stealth Air Carbon fork has been refined to improve comfort and reduce weight, while generous clearance for tyres up to 50mm allows riders to adapt the bike to more demanding terrain. An Onoff S3 GR gravel handlebar features size-specific widths and a 16-degree flare for confident control, complemented by an Onoff S9 carbon seatpost and Fizik Vento Argo X5 saddle for long-distance comfort. With its carefully considered components and adaptable design, the Arid Carbon S GRX offers an excellent balance of speed, control and adventure-ready practicality.
