Shared Highlights of all Raze Carbon Kits:

Tires

On the front the Raze Mondraker spec’d a Maxxis Dissector 29×2.4, EXO+ in 3C MaxxTerra compounds. For the rear tire the Raze is spec’d with a Maxxis Aggressor 29×2.3, Exo sidewall Dual Compound tire.

Many riders will have other preferences to the Dissector front tire. Maybe you want something faster? The tread pattern most popular on the Raze is the Minion DHF. This is a tire that has a bit of a more well rounded lean angle range. This is due to the DHF’s comparative lug spacing pattern. Riders looking for something between the stock Dissector and the DHF might find the DHR II an interesting option. The DHR II is often used as a front tire although it is slightly slower rolling than the DHF option.

The rear Aggressor is a great spec. However, some riders will prefer the more robust sidewalls like the EXO+ or even the Double Down. While heavier than the stock EXO sidewall the more robust sidewalls do provide improved small bump compliance.

Looking for something with more grip? The DHR II is also a popular rear tire on the Mondraker Raze. This provides a bit more capacity than the stock Aggressor spec.

Want something faster? The Rekon and Ikon are faster rolling but will not have the lateral grip you might find in previously mentioned tires.

Did we leave you with more questions than answers? There’s a lot that goes into a trail bike spec but we’re here for you. No matter what your preference our team is here to get you dialed in.

Common Upgrades & Swaps

Mondraker Raze Carbon Common Upgrades and Swaps

Mondraker Raze Carbon Upgrades and Swaps

BikeCo loves offering riders the ability to fine tune or dial in that perfect bike spec. Whether you’re looking for some minor swaps or want to dial in a full custom Mondraker Raze Carbon bike you’re in the right place.

Rider’s find a lot of value in the Mondraker builds, but it’s common for riders to develop preferences.

Whether it’s a performance swap or upgrade or getting you that perfect part in the right color to personalize the Raze Carbon’s performance or look we have you covered.

Common Raze Carbon Upgrades

These are areas we commonly see riders update a bike purchase. Some are personal preference, others are budget or performance choices. Questions? Chat, email or call our expert sales staff and we will help you buy the perfect Mondraker Raze Carbon.

Rider Contact Points

Do you have a preferred grip and pedal go-to?

We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your new bike as well.

A lot of riders purchasing a new bike find it a good time to refresh their pedals. We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles at unbeatable prices.

Tires

Like contact points its not unusual for riders to have a “must-have” go to tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.

We touched on some of the more common tire swaps and upgrades for the Raze Carbon earlier. A quick recap: it’s common to see the DHF or DHR II in the front with the Aggressor or DHR II in the rear. Sidewall technologies will depend on how much small bump compliance you’re seeking from the tire as well as how hard you are on wheels.

Know what you’re looking for? Stoked – let us know and we’ll get the right tires on your new bike. Wondering what’s right for you? No problem there either. Chat with our team about how tires will change your bike’s overall personality as well as how to match your riding style to them. Questions on what tires are right for your riding style and locale? No problem – chat with our team about swapping to tires perfect for you on your new eMTB.

Maybe you’re also thinking about rim protection? We have that covered too. We often see riders use combinations of CushCore PRO and CushCore XC or even a single rim protection strip (usually on the rear tire). Questions? Let us know!

Cockpit

Along with Brakes, Cockpit is the most common place we see part swaps and upgrades. Since fit is so important to your bike it’s not surprising that you’ll want to work with a resource that has more than 1 option!

As ground speeds increase and trails become more challenging riders use suspension for additional support, meaning they want to find as much compliance as possible in tires and cockpit.

With this in mind a common handlebar spec are the carbon option from TAG Metals which has an ovalized internal design as well as the OneUp Carbon bar that has a unique shape for similar performance benefits.

Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. As you trim your bars they will get stiffer due to the decreased lever arm – so if you’ve got narrower shoulders you’ll likely want to start with a narrower bar rather than cutting tons off. Similarly getting the right bar rise will help your setup. Ideally you want your hands in a power position. Too low and the bike will try to pull “under” and out in steep chutes. Too tall and you’ll lose front end grip. While some of this is adapted with headset spacers the preference for performance and looks is generally to have 15-30mm of spacers and get the rest of the rise from the handlebar.

Looking for suggestions? Chat with our team about hand positioning and the advantages of getting the right handlebar rise on your new rig. We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Brakes

This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.

Most riders will update brakes on the Mondraker builds.

Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.

TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.

Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.

The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.

Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.

Custom Wheels

Handbuilt or custom wheels are another popular upgrade no matter what brand you’re shopping. Custom wheels allow riders to spec a rim, spoke and hub combination as well as build specifics for the ultimate performance.

We see many riders work with NOX carbon or WTB, Factor and RideFast alloy options.

Riders also will find traction from using the right spokes and build techniques. Our team will help you define this at time of purchase to ensure you maximize performance and longevity.

Popular hubs from Chris King, Industry Nine, Onyx and Factor are spec’d on MTB builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build.

Pro Tune Suspension

Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our proprietary Pro Tune Suspension. Our team will custom tune your FOX fork and rear shock and narrow the performance from the FOX Factory range to a more precise setup designed for your riding style, aggression, ground speed, size and terrain.

This is one of the biggest upgrades to any bike – having the suspension dialed in as well as having a resource like BikeCo to help you fine tune the bike at time of delivery and as your riding speeds increase!

Mondraker Raze Carbon Geometry

The Raze Carbon from Mondraker is offered in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large.  This gives the Mondraker a fit option for a wide range of riders up to 6’6″.

Use the tabs below for more info on the Raze Carbon Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the Foxy Carbon measures up against other Trail MTB bikes on the Comparison tab.

_

MTB bikes like the Mondraker Raze Carbon are sized from rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. Going to a larger size will produce a ride that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.
