All-new 2022 Mondraker Raze<\/h2>\n ![\""Mondraker\"]( "\\"\"Mondraker\\"\/")
<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div> The brand-new Raze is a trail bike that doesn\u2019t mind a few lift laps.<\/span><\/figcaption> Mondraker<\/i><\/span><\/div>\nDebuting for 2022 is the brand-new Raze, which Mondraker has a hard time defining. This isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n
Shorter on travel than the Foxy, with 130mm at the rear and 150mm up front, Mondraker says the Raze has \u201cmanaged to strike the perfect compromise between pedalling efficiency and overall performance\u201d.<\/p>\n
Is the Raze a true \u2018quiver killer\u2019?<\/h3>\n
In essence, the Raze takes inspiration from the Foxy and the company\u2019s XC bike, the F-Podium, to make a super-light (around 2kg for the frame without shock) do-it-all trail bike that it claims is as happy pedalling cross-country loops as it is getting some laps in at the bike park.<\/p>\n
This does beg the question, why get a Foxy, then?<\/p>\n
Mondraker goes some way to explaining in its press release with a couple of paragraphs about quiver killers and questioning boundaries before declaring: \u201cIf you\u2019re lucky enough to try one, you won\u2019t want anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
The perfect UK trail bike<\/h3>\n
Basically, it\u2019s a bike that is nice and easy to pedal uphill or on flatter trails but with the angles and suspension performance to blast back down, over or through anything in its path \u2013 it sounds perfect for UK riding.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a \u201cmini Foxy\u201d, Mondraker says, which makes you wonder if you need any other bike in your life (doesn\u2019t everyone always need more bikes?).<\/p>\n
The Raze includes Mondraker\u2019s MIND in-built telemetry system to help you achieve a balanced setup without the hassle of testing, adjusting and trying again.<\/p>\n
As soon as you start riding, the system will record and analyse data and suggest pressures and other setup pointers, as well as tell you how much air-time you got on your last ride (which of course makes it indispensable for after-ride bragging rights).<\/p>\n
The frame is constructed using Mondraker\u2019s Stealth Air carbon, with the brand\u2019s Forward Geometry giving a head angle of 65.6 degrees with a 1,243mm wheelbase, 435mm chainstay and 495mm reach on the size L.<\/p>\n

Its carbon iteration was launched in 2015 and the Foxy has benefitted over time from Mondraker\u2019s Forward Geometry, which was thought radical at first but now fits well into the norms for modern mountain bikes.<\/p>\n
\u2018More enduro than ever\u2019<\/h3>\n
For 2022, the Foxy Carbon is \u201cmore enduro than ever\u201d, according to Mondraker. In terms of frame construction, this means a stiffer carbon layup around the bottom bracket, plus a \u201cmodified and reinforced\u201d chainstay.<\/p>\n
The bike keeps its unique look, with that unmissable top tube profile. Another notable addition to the frame is that it now has two frame position settings \u2013 Standard and Low \u2013 that tweak the head angle by +\/- .5 degrees and the chainstay by +\/- 10mm.<\/p>\n
Suspension-wise, the Foxy Carbon gets a total overhaul. The Zero Suspension System, which uses two links to compress and control the motion of the rear shock from both ends, has been completely redesigned, giving the bike a totally new kinematic.<\/p>\n
A longer shock stroke also adds to a plusher feel, Mondraker says. Working with its suspension partners throughout the process, the company claims it has been able to perfect the shock tune for this updated system.<\/p>\n
