During the Stealth Air Carbon fabrication processwe optimize every tube and every joint to best meet the design criteria,whether to increase stiffness and responsiveness from the bottom bracket or headtube areas, or to improve compliance from the rear triangle for better grip and comfort. The stiffness and responsiveness of the main frameis specially noticeable when you put the power down and lends itself to greater pedalling efficiency and acceleration on hardpack.
Altogether, the compliance of the seat stays combined with the stiffness of the frame equal greater average speed over unforgiving terrain.It's something you’ll notice from the very first time you turn the cranks.
50mm wide tyre
We’ve really gone to town on the details. ARID has HHG internal cable guidance, a UDH derailleur hanger for stiffness and shifting precision, six water-bottle mounts you can use to various ends, and generous frame and fork dimensions for up to 50mm wide tyres for riders looking to tackle the roughest of terrains.The bike also features the all-new Mondraker ‘Carry-On’ downtube storage systemso you can carry your belongings without the need for packs that would otherwise spoil the looks of your ARID.
WATER BOTTLES WHEREVER YOU WANT
When it comes down to it, gravel biking is a very personal discipline.If you’re the one deciding how you want to ride your ARID, you should to be the one configuring it too.You have the traditional bottle mounts in the main frame triangle, but there are also bottle mounts under the downtube near the bottom bracket and up to three alternative bottle mounting points on each fork leg. There are even bottle-mount threads on top of the top tube near the headtube!Every ARID has the ability to be unique, it’s up to you to put your stamp on yours.
