The Stealth Air Carbon frame is engineered to be light, precise and durable, using Mondraker’s high-grade carbon layup and their HHG internal cable routing to keep the bike clean and protected. With clearance for tyres up to 50mm, the frame is ready for rougher tracks, chunky gravel and high-volume setups suited to long adventures.Comfort and practicality are key parts of the design. Mondraker’s new Carry-On downtube storage lets you stow tools, spares or small essentials securely inside the frame, keeping the bike tidy and reducing the need for bags. Multiple mounting points—including six bottle mounts—make it easy to tailor the bike for bikepacking or long-range rides. The frame uses a T47 bottom bracket for durability, a UDH derailleur hanger for shifting precision and easy replacement, and geometry designed to balance control on technical terrain with efficiency on long miles.The Stealth Air Carbon fork complements the frame with tapered construction for front-end stiffness and control. Internal hose routing keeps the look clean, and the fork also offers generous clearance for bigger tyres and varied setups.SRAM’s Apex 12-speed XPLR drivetrain provides smooth, reliable shifting with a wide 11–44 cassette that supports both steep climbs and fast hardpack sections. The 40-tooth X-Sync chainring offers secure chain retention on rough surfaces. Braking is handled by SRAM Apex hydraulic calipers paired with 160mm Centerline rotors, giving consistent, controlled power for technical descents or loaded touring.Rolling on Mavic Allroad Disc wheels with a 25mm internal width, the bike offers a stable platform for wide gravel tyres. The Maxxis Reaver 700x45 tyres are tubeless ready and designed for fast-rolling grip across varied gravel conditions. The combination of EXO protection, dual compound rubber and a high-TPI casing delivers durability without feeling harsh.A carbon Onoff S9 seatpost and FIZIK Vento Argo X5 saddle complete a performance-focused finishing kit, offering comfort for long hours in the saddle.With its blend of lightweight carbon construction, wide tyre clearance, thoughtful storage options and reliable Apex components, the Mondraker Arid Carbon S is built for riders who want a gravel bike ready for big distances, mixed terrain and adventure on their own terms.
