How it compares
With 180 mm at the fork, the Mondraker Anark sits above average: across the 41 bikes in the “enduro bike” category in our database, the median is 170 mm. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 170 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. Within Mondraker’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Mondraker Foxy and the Mondraker Summum on travel. Mondraker builds the frame from aluminium.
Prices for the Mondraker Anark start at €3,999 (R), below the category median of €4,750. For the XR build, Mondraker asks €4,999. For suspension, Mondraker combines components from RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox ZEB Base Rush RC 29 to the Öhlins RXF 38 M.3 29. With the RockShox Vivid Coil Select+, the R build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox ZEB Base Rush RC 29): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Coil spring (RockShox Vivid Coil Select+): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
Target SAG for the Mondraker Anark
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Mondraker take priority.
180 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi).
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
