Mondraker Raze — buying guide
The Mondraker Raze is a trail-focused platform with Forward Geometry — built for riders who want speed and control on demanding terrain without full enduro travel. It suits UK trail centre riding and technical woodland descents.
Trail travel and intended use
Raze models typically sit in the 130–150mm travel range — enough for trail centre reds and rough Midlands descents without the weight penalty of long-travel enduro bikes. Match spec tier to how hard you ride.
Forward Geometry benefits
Longer reach and shorter stem keep you centred on steep sections — you feel less pushed over the bars on descents. Sizing differs from conventional brands; talk to us before ordering.
Raze vs Foxy or Summum
Foxy and longer-travel Mondraker platforms suit enduro and bike park riding. Raze is the trail rider's bike — efficient enough to climb all day, capable enough to push on descents.
Why buy from Stretton Bikes?
Raze sizing follows Mondraker reach conventions — different from Marin. Bring your height and riding style; we will check reach against what is in the catalogue.
