The 2027 Mondraker ANARK arrives as a defiant evolution of the gravity-focused trail bike, engineered for riders who view every descent as a blank canvas for creativity. Inspired by the legendary pedigree of the Summum, the ANARK takes high-level suspension capabilities and surgical handling precision and fuses them with the rugged durability required for life outside the race tape. The result is a machine that maintains the freedom to pedal uphill anywhere, anytime, but truly comes alive the moment the trail points downward.
The heart of the ANARK is a robust, full aluminum frame paired with the latest ZERO suspension kinematics and a dedicated mullet wheel configuration. This setup is purpose-built for all-out hammering through the rough, yet it manages to retain a precise, playful character that echoes Mondraker’s racing roots. Whether you are massaging contours for extra speed or carving up bike park lips, the ANARK is your ticket into a permanent "Shred State."

Mondraker Anark R 2027
The new Mondraker Anark R is a heavy-hitting bike park specialist designed to transform rugged trails into your personal playground. Built on a robust 6061 Alloy Stealth Evo frame with a "mullet" wheel setup (29" front/27.5" rear), it balances the stability of a downhill rig with the agility needed for tight berms and big jumps. Performance is driven by a massive 180mm RockShox ZEB fork and a Vivid Coil Select+ rear shock, utilizing the updated Zero Suspension System for 170mm of travel that eats up square-edge hits. Despite its gravity-focused DNA, the SRAM T-Type 12-speed drivetrain ensures you can still pedal back to the top for another lap. Finished with high-power SRAM Maven Base brakes and DH-casing Maxxis tires, the Anark R is the ultimate tool for riders who prioritize "shred state" thrills over the race clock.
Mondraker Anark XR 2027
The Mondraker Anark XR takes the platform's "shred-first" philosophy and cranks the performance up with a premium boutique build. This top-tier "Raw Alloy" edition swaps out the standard suspension for a high-end Öhlins duo, featuring the RXF 38 M.3 fork and TTX 22M.2 coil shock for unparalleled damping consistency on the most technical descents. The drivetrain sees a significant upgrade to SRAM’s T-Type XO Eagle system, providing bulletproof wireless shifting even under the heavy loads of bike park hammering. It rolls on a bombproof DT Swiss F 1900 wheelset paired with DH-casing Maxxis tires, ensuring maximum durability when cashing in those party laps. While it retains the playful mullet geometry and 170mm of rear travel, the XR’s elite componentry makes it the definitive choice for riders who want factory-level performance without the race-day pressure.
