Mondraker uses its Stealth Alloy for both the front and rear triangles on the new freeride bike. While Mondraker says the Anark is ready to tackle uphill \u201c<em>anywhere, anytime<\/em>,\u201d they also repeatedly call it a &#8216;gravity&#8217; bike, noting that it definitely shines when pointed down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fully aluminum park\/freeride bikes tend to be on the <s>heavy<\/s>\u2026<em>uh, um, I mean, durable<\/em> side. The Anark is no exception, with both builds tipping the scales at over 39lbs. But when you\u2019re taking a chairlift or a shuttle to take care of the big climbs, weight doesn\u2019t matter too much.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-freeride-tech-details\">Freeride Tech Details<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Anark-XR-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"419173\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Anark-XR-1-1536x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Mondraker Anark XR\" class=\"wp-image-419173\" style=\"object-fit:full\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Anark-XR-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"419174\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Anark-XR-2-1536x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Mondraker Anark XR\" class=\"wp-image-419174\" style=\"object-fit:full\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Mondraker designed the Anark with 170mm of rear travel paired with a 180mm fork.
