It is the geometric concept that makes each Mondraker model unique in function and performance, one of the best features of our bikes and one of the best attributes that identifies, defines and differentiates each Mondraker mountain bike from the rest of the mountain bikes on the market.
Mondraker's FORWARD GEOMETRY has proven to be the pioneering geometric benchmark for the most advanced high-performance bikes, and this is one of our most important and unique proprietary technologies today. Every year we continue to refine the concept and for 2023 we have implemented slight geometry changes to improve performance even further, increasing riding efficiency and control in bike handling.
The use of shorter fork offsets has proven to be the perfect match for FORWARD GEOMETRY, improving the overall weight balance of the bike and enhancing high speed stability and control. The increased trail size improves steering stability resulting in a more playful ride behaviour, the feeling of being able to attack corners harder with more confidence and more front tyre grip as a bonus, and an overall faster and more enjoyable ride.
The main riding advantages and key features of FORWARD GEOMETRY are increased safety and confidence when tackling steep descents even at high speeds, more reactive, direct and precise handling, greater precision on climbs and greater stability on technical sections and rough terrain, with better grip and improved control.
In 2023 the Mondraker FORWARD GEOMETRY models are fitted with the standard FG30 stems (FG25-30 on the Summum DH models).
FORWARD GEOMETRY has become the standard reference geometry for today's most advanced high-performance bikes, and for 2023 we are offering the most extensive collection of FG models to date. Based on a geometry with longer reach and top tube dimensions, the riding position with the FG30 stem is perfectly balanced for every bike category and application. The increased front-center length enhances confidence in the handling of our bike, allowing us to ride faster and easier and, above all, creating a much more enjoyable riding experience.
ADVANTAGES:
INCREASED SAFETY ON STEEP TERRAIN The front centre is longer - the front wheel axle is further forward compared to a traditional standard geometry - improving stability and preventing us from being thrown over the handlebars on steep, technical terrain, with greater implied safety and greater confidence due to the perception of a slacker steering angle.
GREATER CONFIDENCE AT HIGH SPEEDS The longer wheelbase increases the bike's stability on any terrain.
MORE DIRECT AND REACTIVE STEERING The combination with our proprietary FG30 stem improves steering precision resulting in a more responsive handling of our bike.
UPHILL PRECISION The longer front centre keeps the front wheel planted to the ground avoiding unexpected wheelies, and allows us to climb steep hills with greater ease.
GREATER STABILITY IN TECHNICAL AND DIFFICULT TERRAIN FG establishes an improved weight balance between the front and rear wheel, offering greater stability on technical and rough terrain, with superior cornering grip and significantly improved control.
