The Mondraker Anark XR Bike is a 180mm-fork, 170mm-rear-travel aluminum freeride bike built for bike park laps and uplift days. It joins Mondraker's gravity range for 2026, and the brand describes it as a fun-first design: a bike for finding the long line, hitting the natural kicker at the trail's edge and doing it again. It builds on the Foxy platform and draws on Mondraker's race development program, but the intent here is speed for the thrill rather than for the stopwatch.

Frame and suspension
The frame is 6061 aluminum in Mondraker's Stealth Alloy EVO construction, with variable-thickness hydroformed tubing, a compact reinforced swingarm, internal cable routing and rubber chainstay silencers. An integrated downtube protector is designed to guard the frame and make shuttle loading quicker. Every pivot uses a single bearing size with extra inner and outer sealing, the same arrangement Mondraker uses on the Summum and Zendit.
Rear suspension is the updated Zero Suspension System, which Mondraker says combines the kinematics of the Summum with the responsiveness of the Zendit in a lighter platform. The numbers Mondraker publishes point to a coil-friendly design: a 25% progression rate in the leverage ratio, anti-squat of around 98% at sag and anti-rise of around 99.7%. The company recommends 30% sag. The goal is a sensitive initial stroke for grip and a planted feel when speed goes up.
The XR spec puts Öhlins at both ends. The RXF 38 M.3 fork offers 180mm of travel with a TTX18 twin-tube cartridge, a high-speed compression lever with climb mode, low-speed compression, rebound, air preload and a ramp chamber. At the rear is a TTX 22M.2 coil shock in a 205x65mm size, with a high-speed compression lever with climb mode, plus low-speed compression and rebound adjustment.
Geometry and handling
The Anark XR runs a mullet layout: a 29-inch front wheel for rollover and a 27.5-inch rear for a shorter, more flickable back end. Chainstays are 445mm across all five sizes, S…
