The range consists of two models, Arid and Arid R featuring the same unique Stealth Alloy frame and carbon fork. Both offer the same geometry and drivetrain range as its premium carbon counterparts, ensuring a responsive feel, capable and durable ride.Engineered for gravel adventures and daily rides, Arid features Stealth Alloy EVO manufacturing technology with Smooth welds and optimized tube shapes for excellent compliance and vibration damping, rivaling the comfort of carbon frames. With ample tire clearance, modern standards like flat-mount disc brakes and thru-axles, and with multiple mounting points, it’s ready for everything from epic bikepacking trips to even some occasional gravel races. Experience lightweight performance, proven Mondraker Stealth Alloy EVO frame construction and all-day comfort-without the premium price tag.Stealth Alloy Evo Proprietary Technology Featuring Smooth WeldingsArid´s smooth welds improve compliance by minimizing stress, maintaining consistent material properties and allowing for a more natural flex in the frame. This results in a more comfortable ride and better vibration absorption, crucial for our newly designed gravel bike designed to tackle rough and rugged terrain.Reduced stress concentration.Weld Integrity: Mondraker’s Stealth technology smooth welding on Arid eliminates abrupttransitions or excess material buildup that occur with traditional alloy welding methods. Thisreduces stress concentrations at the junctions of frame tubes for a more reliable ride.Uniform Load Distribution: A smoother, more uniform weld profile allows loads to be distributedevenly across the frame, minimizing localized stiffness that could otherwise make the rideharsher.Better material behaviour.Consistent Alloy Properties: Smooth welds maintain the Arid´s integrity by avoiding overheating or introducing inconsistencies in the heat-affected zones. This results in frame sections that behave more predictably under stress, allowing small and controlled flexing where needed without compromising durability.Refined Grain Structure: Advanced welding processes, like TIG welding or hydroforming combined with smooth welds improve the microstructure of the alloy at the joints. This makes the Arid frame more compliant by retaining some ductility, enabling it to absorb vibrations more effectively.Smoother frame dynamicsImproved Frame Compliance: A seamless transition between tubes allows the frame to flex naturally under load, especially in areas like the seat stays-seat tube Mondraker-identity design connection or the chainstays, which are critical for absorbing bumps and vibrations on gravel grounds.Harmonic Vibration Damping: The absence of sharp and pronounced weld points reduces the propagation of harsh vibrations through the frame, improving rider comfort over rough terrains. Sleeker design: Smooth welds also contribute to Arid’s appealing look, enhancing the bike’s overall appearance and high-end model perception.
