    Thanks for the video. I love your enthusiasm and that you interviewed the bike makers. I ride a Liteville gravel bike which is also a mtb company (from Germany). The bike has a long reach and a short stem. Coming from mountainbiking it suits me well. Really like what Mondraker has done here.

    You lucky man David. The bike looks stunning. The best looking bike either road or gravel at the moment. Well in my opinion. I totally get this bike. Great value also. Frame only is £1799.00 I think. As a owner of Giant Revolt and a Basso Palta 2. I would swap both of them for the new Arrid.

    Love the no-toe-overlap thing but it is soo long that it definetely will feel like a barge on a twisty road. Had Silex like that went for a more sporty bike in the end.

    • @galenkehler
      @galenkehler หลายเดือนก่อน

      It doesn't really feel that way in real life. This bike has almost identical geometry as the BMC hardtail that I converted to gravel (shorter fork, gravel wheels and tires, 36cm drop bars). And with the posted geometry, especially using the shorter stem that is part of the design, maintains the nimble handling

  • @frienduro24

    Is 50mm enough? Fitting 2.0 to 2.2 MTB tires will fit, but tight and would only work on dry conditions
    I think the new standard needs to be around 55mm, unless tire companies start to make better 50mm gravel tires…
    You need to review the Lauf Seigla, fits up to 57mm

    • @barrowsworm1226
      @barrowsworm1226 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Schwalbe G One RS is available in a 50 mm now. Also note, most bikes with 50 mm clearance by spec will easily fit a bit larger, usually 2.1 and sometimes a 2.2. I bet there would be no problem with say, a Thunderburt 2.1 on this Mondraker...

    • @frienduro24
      @frienduro24 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ my buddy’s ARI couldn’t clear 2.1s with the frames 50mm clearance.
      Depends on the tire and wheel width. Most pros were shaving off the nobs on their ties to fit and some had custom sized tires…
      I say make the frames 55 instead of 50 clearance

    • @barrowsworm1226
      @barrowsworm1226 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@frienduro24 Sure, depends on tire, frame, and rim width. Which 2.1 would not clear the Ari? That is the thing, not all 2.1s are the same width... Did your friend try Thunderburt? Most of the pros shaving knobs are doing so to fit a 2.1 in a frame specced for 45s, like the Trek Checkmate, or to cram a 2.2 in frame specced for 50s, a lot of pros do not have the option to use any tire as well, due to sponsor commitments. There is a limit to how much clearance a builder can offer without going to much longer chainstays, and requiring wide cranks (Lauf requires wide cranks). Personally, I would rather ride a 50 mm tire than have to go to a wide crank, as efficiency suffers with Dub wide or GRX width cranks vs. a road crank. And, some riders prefer a 2x, which also limits clearance (not me though, I am fine with 1x, and changing the chainring to suit the course).

      @BoxCarBoy12 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You mean sand? I’d want to ride most of the off road terrain in Anza Borrego on a fat bike, there’s hardly any gravel there that a 45mm tire wouldn’t just sink right into

  • @charlesblithfield6182
    @charlesblithfield6182 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Cool bike. I think the price is reasonable. As far as tire clearance width 2.35-2.5 inch would be better but 50mm is ok.

      50mm is conservative, but not wildly so. As always, it will depend on the tire, rim and pressure you choose...

    Get a bike fit. Set your saddle height to the perfect position within 1 mm. Then get a flexing seat post???

    • @andrew9579
      @andrew9579 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There’s no such thing as a perfect bike fit to within 1mm. You’re not a robot. Your body changes all the time based on how you slept, stress, other workouts, sitting…the list goes on. Seat post flex is not something to be concerned about.

      Every Mondraker frame is engineered to exceed the ISO MTB test standards for durability, including this one. And that top tube design is a signature element for Mondraker, carried over from their MTB frames. So I'd guess it's tougher than it looks...
