The Mondraker Anark R is a gravity-focused mountain bike built for riders who love pushing their limits in bike parks, tackling challenging freeride lines and making the most of every descent. Developed around Mondraker's Stealth Alloy Evo 6061 aluminium frame, the Anark R combines durable hydroformed tubing with Forward Geometry and a mullet wheel configuration featuring a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel. This combination provides confident obstacle clearance at the front while maintaining responsive handling through tight corners, jumps and technical features. With 170mm of rear suspension travel and a 180mm suspension fork, the Anark R is designed to deliver the control, stability and playful character needed for demanding gravity riding.
At the heart of the Anark R is Mondraker's updated Zero Suspension System, delivering 170mm of rear wheel travel through a reinforced aluminium frame and one-piece Monoblock upper link. The suspension platform is engineered to provide sensitive initial movement, controlled progression and dependable traction across rough terrain. A RockShox Vivid Coil Select+ rear shock features adjustable hydraulic bottom-out, low-speed rebound and spring preload, helping riders fine-tune suspension performance to their preferences. Up front, the RockShox ZEB Base Rush RC fork delivers 180mm of travel with adjustable low-speed compression, rebound and air pressure. SRAM's 70 Eagle T-Type 12-speed drivetrain provides dependable mechanical shifting, while a wide-range 10-52T cassette offers useful gearing for climbs and transitions between descents. Powerful SRAM DB8 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm rotors provide controlled stopping performance on steep and technical trails.
Designed to withstand the demands of freeride and bike park riding, the Anark R features a compact reinforced rear swingarm, high-capacity sealed suspension bearings and protective frame details for improved durability. A single-bolt flip-chip geometry adjustment system allows riders to switch between Standard and Low settings, altering the head angle, bottom bracket height and handling characteristics to suit different terrain. WTB Sportterra Tough wheels feature welded aluminium rims with a 30mm internal width, while a Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5WT front tyre and Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5x2.5WT rear tyre deliver aggressive grip and downhill-specific protection. Wide Onoff S6 aluminium handlebars, an X-Fusion Manic dropper seatpost and Ergon Enduro saddle complete a capable setup for long days on the mountain. Whether enjoying uplift days, progressing on jumps or exploring demanding technical trails, the Mondraker Anark R delivers the suspension performance, durability and versatility needed for gravity-focused riding.
