Mondraker introduces the Anark, a long-travel aluminum gravity freeride bike without a battery or motor. The bike uses Stealth Alloy for both front and rear triangles and is positioned as capable on climbs while performing best when ridden downhill. Both builds weigh over 39 lbs, but the weight is considered less important when using chairlifts or shuttles. The suspension setup includes 170mm of rear travel and a 180mm fork, using the Zero Suspension System with a kinematic mix. Progression is 25%, with anti-squat at 98% and anti-rise just under 100% at SAG. The bike uses a 27.5/29 mullet wheel platform with a geometry-only flip chip and supports a dual-crown fork within recommended limits.
"Introducing the Anark, a long-travel aluminum gravity bike built for freeride and bike-parking anarchy! The Mondraker Anark: alloy and ready for any gravity ride OK, so let's take a look at the big-picture details on the Anark. Mondraker uses its Stealth Alloy for both the front and rear triangles on the new freeride bike. While Mondraker says the Anark is ready to tackle uphill "anywhere, anytime," they also repeatedly call it a 'gravity' bike, noting that it definitely shines when pointed down."
"Freeride Tech Details Mondraker designed the Anark with 170mm of rear travel paired with a 180mm fork. Those aren't crazy numbers - totally in line with fast race enduro bikes that you still have to pedal to the top. They continue to use the classic Mondraker Zero Suspension System, with a bit of a Summun and Zendit kinematic mashup. Progression is at 25%, with anti-squat at 98% and anti-rise just under 100%, both at SAG."
"Fully aluminum park/freeride bikes tend to be on the heavy... uh, um, durable side. The Anark is no exception, with both builds tipping the scales at over 39lbs. But when you're taking a chairlift or a shuttle to take care of the big climbs, weight doesn't matter too much. Freeride Tech Details Mondraker designed the Anark with 170mm of rear travel paired with a 180mm fork."
"The Anark is designed around a mixed-wheel 27.5/29 mullet platform. While it does have a high/low flip chip, this is solely to adjust geometry, and doesn't accommodate the changes of a larger 29" rear wheel. That said, Mondraker does allow a dual-crown fork, but it must remain at the recommend"
