STEALTH SIDE ALLOY STRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY Stealth is the most advanced industrial design and structure optimisation technology used in the Mondraker range. Stealth encompasses all processes in the creation of the frame, from the inspiration and conception of the industrial design to the calculation of the most precise details that optimise each part for a specific function. The new Dune has an oversized frame with a top tube that is split into two to provide two points of attachment to the down tube, leaving a window inside giving a very characteristic look. This tube provides greater rigidity to the front wheel assembly while it has a marked sloping towards the seat tube following the design line set by the rear stays, providing more free space for greater mobility and optimum handling in the top area. Stealth offers an innovative design characterised by flat faces and sharp edges, as opposed to the traditional curved or rounded shapes, which come together to form a complete whole. Each tube and part is designed to carry out a specific function with the lowest possible weight. Careful design has gone into its processes, materials and tapering while a range of alloys have been used that deliver strength and rigidity where needed. Frame development has drawn on the latest market trends such as a one-piece upper crown, integrated Tapered 1.5 head angle, 12 x 142 mm rear thru-axle for the R, RR and XR models, direct 160 mm Post Mount rear brake adapter and a new Direct Mount derailleur holder that is fully removable for clean installation of a 1 x 11 S transmission.

ZERO SUSPENSION SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY Zero is the name of Mondraker’s proprietary suspension system which was launched six years ago on the platform of the first Dune 2009. The basics of this unique, innovative and benchmark system remain unchanged; the Zero belongs to the category called the virtual pivot suspension system due to its mechanical configuration. The Dune 2014 premieres a new kinematic configuration of the Zero suspension system which is better suited to the new trends for more compact drivetrains with smaller chainwheels. The most significant difference of the Zero system is that the rear shock is floating between two links and is compressed from both ends. The positioning of the rear shock together with the compression that it receives from both sides makes this system unique. The entire mechanical configuration is optimised to continue offering its outstanding 160 mm of travel in the rear axle combining the gross absorption capacity of the Zero system with the best pedalling efficiency achieved to date. The new Dune 2014 features surprisingly round and neutral pedalling and great effectiveness in any gear ratio. Both extremely rigid links are made in one piece and each turn point of the Zero system has been completely redesigned to make the 2014 Dune into an excellent experience in the contemporary Enduro scene. All Dune models have the advantages of air shocks with a separate expansion tank, from RockShox Monarch Plus on the Dune model to the new Fox Float X on the Dune R, RR and XR models, which will further enhance all the virtues of the Zero system.
