With the post-pandemic marketplace shifting a bit we’re seeing clients that would tend to go full custom now picking and choosing based on availability and then updating spec to their favorite bits. This 2022 Mondraker Foxy Carbon RR with upgrades is a great example of that.
Typically there are two ways that riders utilize to get the perfect spec. BIkeCo will provide credit for the stock components which is a very popular way to do it for an upgrade here or there. The other way is to provide riders the components for them to resell on the take-off market or, in the case of this Foxy Carbon to rebuild a previous bike for sale.
The drivetrain including Cane Creek e-Wings titanium cranks, SRAM AXS wireless system and Hope brakes were all from a previous build and the client moved them onto the new Mondraker.
2022 Mondraker Foxy Carbon
Mondraker puts a lot of resources into putting out a well designed frame which takes advantage of the top tier carbon fiber spec and actual build quality. Not only is this look sleek and unique the design maximizes the stress flow and strength properties of carbon fiber to utilize a balance of rigidity and compliance which adds a big factor to the Mondraker trail feel. Oh, did we mention the frame design and technology produce a notably light product? Yup. That too!
In a world where many mountain bikes look the same the 2022 Foxy Carbon’s unique “X” behind the headtube quickly identifies the new Mondraker.
Mondraker Zero Suspension
Mondraker’s Zero Suspension is designed to minimize chain growth allowing for your drivetrain to do its work, your brakes to do theirs while the suspension does it job.
Designed to be notably efficient even deep in the travel the Mondraker Zero Suspension is proven on race courses worldwide.
As an enduro bike Mondraker knows you’re going to take this bike into fast, burly terrain and it’s ready.
The aggressive chain stay protector helps protect the beautiful finish of the Foxy Carbon as well as helps keep your bike quieter through the chunky stuff.
Ohlins MTB Suspension
The 2022 Foxy Carbon RR features Ohlins suspension front and rear. As expected on a bike at this level riders will find easy tuning with a great range of adjustment on rebound, low and high speed compression.
A nice feature on the Foxy is a protective guard to minimize rock spray onto the Ohlins TTX 2 shock.
Custom Wheels
At BikeCo.com we build a lot of custom wheels. A. LOT. This rider prefers the silent hubs and the Foxy features Onyx Racing hubs. I mention this in part because every time that I roll a bike with the Onyx hubs I’m always taken aback or worried something is wrong since I don’t hear the freehub! Similarly every time that I pull a bike with moto brakes off the rack for photos it almost inevitably hits me in the shins when I pull the wrong bike to stand it up!

Other build highlights include the Hope brakes which set off the titanium Cane Creek eWing cranks really well. This bike has Ride Wrap frame protection in key spots in both gloss and matte to match the finish.
Foxy Carbon: 31 lbs
With Mondraker’s frame design and technology it’s typical to see the Foxy, Raze or Crafty come in lighter than many of the comparable travel chassis.
The Foxy Carbon is a bike that would be on the short list for riders looking at a Yeti SB150 or a 170mm front end Ibis Ripmo build. All three of these bikes are proven capable in EWS level enduro terrain. But, what makes these bikes somewhat unique is that all three are spirited enough to be a fun trail bike when you’re not out smashing the bigger terrain. The Foxy Carbon is a bike that would be confident and fun on your chairlift days but with a little less aggressive rear tire and possible another couple clicks of low speed compression on the rear shock is nimble enough to go out with your work buddies for the summer evening pedal.
