Mondraker Stealth Air Carbon Gravel Frame
At the heart of the Arid Carbon RS is Mondraker’s Arid Stealth Air Carbon frame, engineered for maximum stiffness, efficiency and comfort while keeping weight to a minimum. The advanced carbon layup provides excellent power transfer when pushing hard on climbs and fast gravel sections, while maintaining the compliance needed for long days in the saddle.
The frame features integrated in-tube storage, allowing riders to carry essential tools and equipment neatly inside the bike, making it ideal for endurance rides and adventure cycling. With a T47 bottom bracket, tapered head tube, HHG internal cable routing, flat mount brake compatibility and a 12x142mm rear axle, the Arid Carbon RS offers modern gravel performance with a clean, streamlined appearance.
The inclusion of a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) provides increased durability and future compatibility, while the dedicated 1x drivetrain design keeps the bike simple, reliable and ready for demanding terrain.
Shimano GRX Di2 Electronic Gravel Drivetrain
The Mondraker Arid Carbon RS is equipped with the premium Shimano GRX RX825 Di2 12-speed groupset, delivering fast, precise and effortless electronic shifting in all conditions.
The wireless-style dual control levers provide excellent ergonomics and easy gear changes from the handlebars, while the Shimano GRX RX827 Di2 rear derailleur works seamlessly with the wide-range Shimano XT 10-51T 12-speed cassette. This gearing combination gives riders the perfect balance of speed on flat roads and the climbing range needed for steep gravel climbs and off-road adventures.
The Shimano GRX RX820 40T crankset provides efficient power transfer, while the Shimano XT chain ensures smooth and dependable performance mile after mile.
Fulcrum Carbon Gravel Wheels & Maxxis Tyres
The Arid Carbon RS rolls on premium Fulcrum Sharq GR carbon wheels, featuring an innovative 2-Wave carbon rim profile with a 30mm internal width. Designed for modern gravel tyres, these lightweight wheels provide outstanding stability, acceleration and aerodynamic performance across changing terrain.
Paired with Maxxis Reaver 700x45 tyres, the bike delivers exceptional grip and control. Featuring the HYPR-X compound, EXO protection, tubeless-ready construction and a fast-rolling 120 TPI casing, these tyres are equally suited to rough gravel tracks, woodland trails and fast road sections.
Shimano GRX Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Stopping power comes from Shimano GRX RX825 hydraulic disc brakes, providing reliable and controlled braking performance whatever the weather conditions.
With Shimano CL-800 Ice Tech 160mm centrelock rotors, resin brake pads and adjustable GRX brake levers, the Arid Carbon RS offers confident braking control for technical descents, loose gravel and demanding adventure routes.
Premium Carbon Cockpit & Comfort Components
The carbon performance continues throughout the cockpit with an Onoff S9 GR Carbon handlebar featuring a 16-degree flare for improved control and stability when riding off-road. Combined with the Onoff Semi-Integrated stem, the cockpit provides a balanced and responsive handling feel.
Comfort is enhanced with a Fizik Terra Solocush Tacky bar tape, Fizik Vento Argo X5 saddle and Onoff S9 Carbon seatpost, helping reduce fatigue on longer gravel rides while maintaining efficient power transfer.
