Mondraker presents a simple range for 2011

The Spanish company has given its bike collection a new look for the coming year. Under the motto "less is more", they are working with a few colors and calm layouts - all beautifully coordinated. In addition to visual aspects, some technical aspects have also been revised and the "Zenith" is a new enduro bike.

With the revised "Factor", the Spaniards seem to have picked up on the signs of the times. It really couldn't be simpler: zero unnecessary lettering, everything reduced to the essentials. The few colors that the "Factor" line still has are perfectly coordinated. But the frame has also been redesigned. The bike is now also based on the tried-and-tested VPP-like "Zero" suspension system, which still gives the bike 120 millimetres of travel. The slack steering angle of 68 degrees makes it a trail bike par excellence and thanks to the tapered head tube, which holds a 120-millimetre suspension fork, it has become even stiffer and more steering-accurate.

Grober Endurist
The "Zenith" is brand new to the range. The hardcore enduro bike is also based on "Zero", which gives it 170 millimetres at the rear. At the front, the "Zenith XR" has a Fox 36 Float RC2 fork with 170 millimeters of travel. As with the Summum and Durham, the steering angle and wheelbase can be changed using an adjustment kit. Shifting is done with a mix of Sram "X0" and "X9" and two times ten gears. But it's not just the generous suspension travel that makes the "Zenith XR" the mega-vanquishing weapon par excellence. The shiftable chain guide, a Vario seatpost, the 12-millimetre thru-axle at the rear and the "EX 1750" from DT Swiss show that the "Zenith" likes to tackle rougher terrain.
