Mondraker Dune Carbon XR

So, the new Dune Carbon; is it just a lighter version of the existing aluminium bike?

Not quite. Yes, it’s lighter (2,450g claimed for a medium frame without shock – that’s a 580g saving), but there are a number of improvements and refinements that make this far more significant than just a carbon remould.

What’s new then?

Adjustable geometry, for starters. Born on the 2009 Summum downhill bike, adjustable head angle and chainstay makes this an enduro bike you can tinker with to your heart’s consent. It offers 2º of head angle adjustment; stock is 66º, but by running the 1º offset cups, this can be changed to 65º or 67º.
