The Mondraker Anark XR is a gravity-focused mountain bike designed for riders who want to make the most of every bike park session, freeride line and demanding descent. Built around Mondraker's Stealth Alloy Evo 6061 aluminium frame, the Anark XR combines durable hydroformed tubing with Forward Geometry and a mullet wheel configuration featuring a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel. The larger front wheel provides confident obstacle clearance, while the smaller rear wheel encourages playful handling through tight corners, jumps and technical features. With 170mm of rear suspension travel and a 180mm fork, the Anark XR offers the stability and control needed for aggressive riding without sacrificing manoeuvrability.
Mondraker's updated Zero Suspension System provides 170mm of rear wheel travel through a reinforced aluminium frame and one-piece Monoblock upper link. Designed to balance small-bump sensitivity with progressive support, the suspension platform helps maintain traction and composure over rough terrain. The Öhlins TTX 22M.2 coil rear shock features adjustable compression and rebound damping, while the Öhlins RXF 38 M.3 fork delivers 180mm of travel with a TTX18 Twin Tube cartridge and extensive tuning options. A SRAM 90 Eagle T-Type 12-speed drivetrain provides dependable mechanical shifting, with a wide-range 10-52T cassette offering practical gearing for climbs and transitions between descents. Powerful SRAM Maven Base four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, paired with 200mm rotors, deliver controlled stopping performance on steep and demanding trails.
Built to withstand the demands of freeride and bike park riding, the Anark XR features a compact reinforced rear swingarm, sealed suspension bearings and protective frame details designed for durability. A single-bolt flip-chip system allows riders to switch between Standard and Low geometry settings, adjusting the bike's handling characteristics to suit different terrain. E*thirteen Grappler Core wheels feature welded aluminium rims with a 30mm internal width, while a Maxxis Assegai front tyre and Maxxis Minion DHR II rear tyre provide aggressive grip and downhill-specific protection. Wide Onoff S6 aluminium handlebars, an Onoff Pija dropper seatpost and Ergon Enduro saddle complete a capable gravity-focused build. Whether tackling technical descents, progressing on jumps or enjoying uplift days, the Mondraker Anark XR is designed to deliver control, durability and maximum enjoyment on the mountain.
