​Mondraker Launches the new 29er Foxy Carbon 2019 - MTB Monster

Posted by Paul Hoyle on 15th May 2018

Have you ever dreamt of a Foxy Carbon with 29er wheels? Of course you have, but it doesn't stop there! The Foxy Carbon 29 has the same incredible frameset weight of the 27.5 variant with a more refined Stealth Air manufacturing process, 29er specific-Zero Suspension System and optimised Forward Geometry. Just like in the movies, dreams do come true.  

Building on the platform of the already lightweight and high performing Foxy 27.5, Mondraker have refined and evolved their flagship bike to create the all new Foxy Carbon 29er. Constructed using the highest quality and lightweight Stealth Air Carbon, the 29er Foxy has been tweaked and honed creating a truly amazing bike. Mondraker have made some alterations to their Zero Suspension kinematics in order to make it compatible with the bigger wheels and optimised the Forward Geometry to create the wonder bike that knows no limits and showcases 15 years of Foxy production.

Trail, All Mountain or Enduro? You name it! With 160mm of travel up front and 150mm out back, Mondraker's most innovative, most efficient and most capable mountain bike is set to deliver on any single track. Foxy Carbon 29 takes versatility, suspension and pedalling performance to a whole new level in a lightweight & cutting-edge futuristic design package with the best Mondraker racing experience, their core values and breakthrough technologies applied.

Iconic 29er design

Foxy Carbon 29 brings together Mondraker's best and most sophisticated technologies. This might look alike to the 27.5 varient but this is a dedicated 29 frame, geometry and suspension system. Its design represents an extraordinary breakthrough, with a front triangle that features a more stylized layout with thinner tubes; a top tube with a flatter profile that inspires and brings greater speed and lightness, establishing a new stiffness standard, along with a new rear end with an entirely renewed and structurally reinforced swingarm.

Forward Geometry 

Mondraker's innovative Forward Geometry has also evolved to accommodate bigger wheels with 29-dedicated geometry measurements to get the best geometric balance, handling, grip and overall performance and keep setting the pace. Directly inherited from Summum, Dune and Foxy Carbon 27’5”, the head angle is adjustable in +/-1º whilst Foxy Carbon 29 goes a step further introducing short fork offsets which perfectly match our benchmark long reach Forward Geometry becoming the icing on the cake with clear performance gains: increased stability at speed, better front wheel control and dramatically improved front tire grip.

Forward Geometry is based on the same geometric standard of longer tubes combined with shorter stems of 30mm in length of the original concept we launched in 2013, progressing and being refined and perfected season after season, adopting small improvements and evolutions that set us apart from the rest and help us lead the geometry trend and boosting performance on high-end mountain bikes every year.
