Mondraker Chrono Carbon DC RR review – Spanish downcountry bike turns out to be 'damn confusing'

May 2024 · Guy Kesteven

Does this stunning-looking Spanish hardtail deliver on its downcountry promise, or do confused spec, backward geometry and niche frame features choke it’s obvious potential? Guy Kesteven finds out…

Highs
  • Gorgeous looking, sweet flowing, lightweight trail frame

  • Top spec lightweight XC trail fork

  • UDH rear hanger

Lows
  • Backward rather than Forward Geometry

  • Inset Fidlock mounts limit seatpost stroke

  • Heavy wheels and cassette

  • Crowded lockout and dropper controls

  • Harsh, flat bars don’t fit the DC vibe

  • Expensive component mix
