Summary
The Mondraker Dune is a mixed bag, offering stability and composed geometry at high speeds, with a supportive suspension that excels in rough terrain. However, its long length can make it feel unwieldy, and it comes with a premium price tag that doesn't always match the component quality. The bike's design and geometry have been praised for standing the test of time, but some reviews note sluggish suspension and outdated features.

Supportive and well-balanced suspension
Good traction and smoothness on rough terrain
Cutting-edge geometry and sizing
Feels unwieldy due to long length
Premium price without corresponding high-end parts
Sluggish suspension and outdated features
Requires significant rider adjustment
It gains speed quickly, I was going into corners really, really quickly, which was messing me up—’Where are my braking points, I haven’t even started to turn yet?’
The Mondraker Dune is one of our Bike of the Year bikes for 2018.
Proves that good geometry and sizing stands the test of time

Launched over three years ago, the Mondraker Dune XR is still streets ahead of its rivals in terms of sizing, our size L dwarfing most brands XXLs.
Independent geometry adjustments
Sticky lower shock bushing

This bike is long. Sure, there’s more to it, like its especially supportive suspension platform. But mostly, it’s long. And once we got used to that, we found it could hold its corners and stick its lines superbly.

There are some bikes that are just flat-out drool worthy, the Dune Carbon RR from Mondraker is definitely one of them. This bike dubbed "super enduro" by

Confidence inspiring and stable, yet still engaging and agile. It’s not cheap for the spec, but performance leaves little to be desired. Buy if you want a fast yet playful bike to tackle technical terrain, and have the money to spend
Stable, comfortable, confidence-inspiring and yet incredibly agile handling from the win-win Forward Geometry
Mondraker's Zero suspension design and Fox Float X shock deliver smooth, traction rich sensitivity and support (once I'd added a medium volume spacer)
I think the geometry could be even more extreme in the angles department
Solid, rather than bling spec for the money
