Mondraker Raze: Built for Endurance
For those who prioritize comfort and stability over sheer speed, the Mondraker Raze is a fantastic choice. This bike is designed with long-distance rides in mind, making it ideal for recreational riders and adventurers who want to explore without feeling exhausted at the end of the day. 2 huge days over the weekend and back for more through the week.
Key Features:
- Lightning Quick Handling: The industry at large has now followed what was once Mondraker’s unique design ethos: Forward Geometry. Lightning quick handling paired with an incredible pedaling platform makes this bike perfect for Rotorua’s trails. Tight switchbacks, long pumping traverses and gaps become irresistible when riding the Raze. Everyone who works at Mondraker NZ has set a PB on this bike, it’s hard to explain the feeling of raw speed this bike brings - it’s probably best you find out for yourself…
- Zero Suspension: Even whilst out the saddle, the Raze has an insanely efficient pedaling platform. Pinch climbs, sprints and cranking into rhythm sections become challenges you seek out instead of shying away from. Pedaling efficiency doesn’t mean a rigid ride-feel. Pumping feels like cheating and the weight of the bike makes steering from the rear a tool you need to stay on board.
- Stealth Carbon vs Stealth Alloy: Built with Mondraker’s renowned quality, the Raze features our no-compromise carbon construction. While some manufacturers choose to change the carbon quality for different price brackets we only produce one carbon frame from the top spec to the affordable. We dub this ‘Stealth Carbon’ as it’s a process which sets us apart from the bunch, the Mondraker Raze was the most challenging frame to design, achieving a second to none weight/stiffness ratio. The same can be said for our Stealth Alloy. With 20 years experience creating race winning bikes we know how important materials are to ride-feel. Wherever your preference lies, you know that all Mondraker bikes including the Raze have been picked apart and rebuild countless times, making durable high quality frames which will not only last 100km days, but a lifetime.
- One Bike Wonder: dubbed the “quiver killer”, this is the only bike you need if you can’t choose between riding enduro trails and long XC missions. Too aggressive for XC? Incredibly light for Enduro? It’s all of that and more. Raze redefines what is and has been a traditional trail bike. A completely unique ride has those who experience it blown away by the speed that seemingly comes from nowhere. A unique personality and ride is the reason we only feel the need to produce one trail bike.
The Raze is not just a bike; it’s a companion for those who love the outdoors and seek adventure. Whether you’re on a leisurely ride with friends or tackling a tough multi-day challenge, the Raze will help you push your limits.

- One Bike, Many Riders: The Chrono DC is aimed at a huge range of riders. Its geometry and components, the 120mm fork, the dropper post and its 2.4” tyres are all essential elements that blend together perfectly to create what is, by definition, a serious downcountry bike. Greater versatility opens the door to a wider range of riders, and the Chrono DC is a bike made for cross country and marathon events by striking just the right balance between pedalling prowess, comfort and the ability to overcome obstacles on more complicated terrain.
