Dirt, rocks, roots, mud, dust, water. Interconnected elements. Elements that convey emotions that reach you raw and unfiltered. Rediscover your love and passion for mountain biking with our all-new carbon hardtail.
Here at Mondraker we follow the same design brief whether we’re creating a hardtail or a World Cup downhill bike. We want all of our bikes to be nimble, agile and engaging. Our hardtails by nature take that level of responsiveness up a notch, and our STEALTH CARBON hardtail frames add a touch of extra reliability and lightness to the mix.
Our range of XC race bikes, led by the PODIUM CARBON with its “lightest carbon fibre production XC frame in the world” moniker (it weighs in at only 775 grams) have revolutionized the category and have always attracted riders who are on the lookout for a truly “race-ready” hardtail.
Now it’s the CHRONO CARBON DC’s turn. It’s time for riders looking for greater versatility. It’s time to make things more fun. It’s time to prove that a hardtail which is perfect for cross country training or racing is also a safe bet for trail riding thanks to the downcountry specs we considered elemental in its design.
With the CHRONO CARBON DC we put the emphasis on its downcountry capabilities through design and specifications. The STEALTH CARBON frame weighs in at 1150 grams, going towards additional strength, versatility and comfort. Stylistically it follows our new design language as seen on other recent launches.
With a truly versatile frame which is perfect for everything from long days in the saddle or marathon races, to XC training and terrain that would normally demand a specific “trail” type bike, the CHRONO CARBON DC brings to the mix components such as a 120mm fork with 180mm front disc brakes throughout the range, 2.4” tyres and an ONOFF Pija dropper post on the R and RR models combined with DC specific geometry which is a whole one degree slacker than our PODIUM model.
Our CHRONO CARBON DC is without doubt our most complete hardtail option. The key points to highlight what makes it more versatile than conventional carbon fibre hardtails are.
• STEALTH CARBON frame.
• 29” wheels.
• Forward Geometry.
• 67.5o head angle.
• 120mm travel fork.
• 31.6mm dropper post.
• 1x transmission.
• Internal HHG cable routing.
• 2x bottle cage mounts.
• 2.4” wide tyres.
• Threaded BB73 bottom bracket.
• Custom fitted frame protection / 140mm Flat Mount / Boost 12x148mm.
• UDH mech hanger.
• Fidlock integration.
The CHRONO CARBON DC is aimed at a huge range of riders. Its geometry and components, the 120mm fork, the dropper post and its 2.4” tyres are all essential elements that blend together perfectly to create what is, by definition, a serious downcountry bike. Greater versatility opens the door to a wider range of riders, and the CHRONO CARBON DC is a bike made for cross country and marathon events by striking just the right balance between pedalling prowess, comfort and the ability to overcome obstacles on more complicated terrain.
ONOFF takes care of the cockpit and headset on all three builds of the CHRONO CARBON DC. At Mondraker we’re true to our ONOFF component brand and all three builds of the CHRONO CARBON DC come with ONOFF stems and 760mm wide ONOFF aluminium handlebars. ONOFF also provides the ever-popular Twin, 1 lock-on 135mm grips.
The entry-level build gets a 6061 T6 31.6mm, 400mm long seatpost, whereas the top two builds, the R and RR, get ONOFF Pija dropper posts with between 120mm and 170mm of travel depending on frame size.
