How it compares
On travel, the Mondraker Summum is right where the “downhill bike” category usually is: 200–203 mm up front against a median of 200 mm from 16 bikes. Among Mondraker’s mountain bikes, the Mondraker Summum is the model with the most fork travel. Mondraker builds the frame from aluminium.
Prices for the Mondraker Summum start at €4,999 (R), below the category median of €7,100. The top build, RR, costs €8,499. For suspension, Mondraker combines components from FOX and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Boxxer Select RC 29 to the RockShox Boxxer Ultimate 29. The R build uses a coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil Select+), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Boxxer Select RC 29): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- 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.
- Coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil Select+): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
Target SAG for the Mondraker Summum
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Mondraker specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
200 mm fork, 75.0 mm shock stroke (R, RR)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 34 mm | 24 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 40 mm | 28 % = 21.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 44 mm | 30 % = 22.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 40 mm | 27 % = 20.2 mm on the shock shaft |
203 mm fork, 75.0 mm shock stroke (R Mullet)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 35 mm | 24 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 41 mm | 28 % = 21.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 45 mm | 30 % = 22.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 41 mm | 27 % = 20.2 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
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
