How it compares
With 150 mm at the fork, the Mondraker Raze sits above average: across the 44 bikes in the “trail bike” category in our database, the median is 140 mm. The rear offers 130 mm, 20 mm less than the front. Within Mondraker’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Mondraker F-Podium and the Mondraker Foxy on travel. The frame is available in aluminium or carbon.
The starting price of €2,999 (Raze) is roughly in line with the category median (€3,000). The top build, Carbon RR SL, costs €9,299. For suspension, Mondraker combines components from FOX and RockShox. In total, 5 different forks are used, from the RockShox 35 Gold 29 RL to the Fox 36 29 Float GRIP2 Factory Kashima.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox 35 Gold 29 RL): 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 FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Air shock (Fox Float EVOL Performance): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Mondraker Raze
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.
150 mm fork, 57.5 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 16.1 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 17.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 15.5 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough.
| 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
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
