The Mondraker Arid R combines advanced electronic shifting, lightweight aluminium construction and versatile gravel geometry to create a capable bike for riders who want to explore beyond the tarmac. Built around Mondraker's Stealth Evo 6061 aluminium frame, its hydroformed tubing provides durability and responsive handling while maintaining a refined, streamlined appearance. A Stealth Air Carbon fork complements the frame, offering precise steering and helping to reduce vibrations across rough roads and uneven gravel tracks. With geometry designed to balance stability, comfort and agility, the Arid R is equally suited to fast gravel rides, challenging off-road routes and long-distance adventures.
At the heart of the Arid R is a SRAM 1x12-speed electronic drivetrain combining Apex AXS controls with an S1000 Eagle AXS T-Type rear derailleur. Wireless electronic shifting delivers precise, consistent gear changes, while the SRAM XS-1270 10-52T cassette provides an exceptionally wide gear range for tackling steep climbs and maintaining momentum across varied terrain. A SRAM Apex 1 Wide crankset with a 40T X-Sync Eagle chainring provides efficient power transfer and dependable chain retention. SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm Paceline rotors offer controlled stopping performance in changing conditions, while Mavic Allroad Disc wheels and Maxxis Reaver 700x45c tubeless-ready tyres provide a confident balance of grip, rolling efficiency and durability.
Designed with practicality and rider comfort in mind, the Arid R features Mondraker's HHG internal cable routing for a clean cockpit and frame appearance. The Onoff S3 GR gravel handlebar features a 16-degree flare and frame-size-specific widths, providing additional control and comfortable hand positioning when riding on loose or technical surfaces. An Onoff S3 aluminium stem and seatpost are paired with a Fizik Vento Argo X5 saddle to create a comfortable setup for extended journeys. The T47 threaded bottom bracket offers straightforward servicing, while the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger provides practical compatibility with the T-Type drivetrain. Whether tackling gravel events, exploring remote routes or heading out for an all-day ride, the Mondraker Arid R delivers a refined combination of electronic shifting, capable components and adventure-ready performance.
