The Mondraker Chrono Carbon has been completely redesigned and now comes in a stealth carbon frame with the same geometry and design as the high-end Podium Carbon hardtail. According to Mondraker, it is the bike for all those who are looking for a carbon hardtail that is suitable for both XC races and marathon distances.

The new Chrono Carbon models have a sleeker design with narrower tubes without edges and a flatter top tube. The deeper, so-called FlatStays seat stays are intended to ensure speed and a more aggressive look. In combination with the flatter and narrower top tube, the new seat stays are there to absorb vibrations and increase damping and riding comfort.

Like the Podium Carbon, the Chrono Carbon has a longer top tube in combination with a 70mm head angle, a 73.5 seat angle and shorter chainstays, which improves handling and pedaling efficiency according to Mondraker. In addition, the Chrono Carbon has a new lightweight aluminum stem with shorter dimensions (S-M: 60 mm, L: 80 mm, XL: 90 mm). The bike also comes with a new seat post design with a smaller diameter of 27.2 millimetres.

Other details that characterize the Chrono Carbon are the internal cable routing, the compatibility with 1x drivetrains and electronic Di2 shifting, the Boost wheel mounting dimensions, the flat mount brake calipers and the tapered head tube. Incidentally, the bike is available in two equipment versions: the highest-quality version is called Chrono Carbon R and costs 3,499, while the more budget-friendly version is simply called Chrono Carbon and is available for 2,899.

The bike company Mondraker was founded in 2001 in Alicante, Spain, and has had a considerable influence on the entire bike industry with its Forward Geometry. This geometry concept marks the starting point of today's popular design with long top tubes, short head tubes, short stems, flat head and steep seat angles - also known in short as "long, flat, steep".
