A new addition to the range for the 2012 season, the Tracker allows you to benefit from trickle down technology; equipped with Mondrakers impressive Zero suspension platfom (which has already been well proven across the entirity of their range and in top flight competition) and the same frame geometry as the Factor, the end result is an entry level bike that rides nearly as well as models further up the range - infact it differs only in the frame design - constructed using a more traditional 6061 aluminium tubeset (with a squared off top and downtube) to reduce production costs significantly and bring the price down to more affordable levels.
Mondraker Zero Platform
The exclusive Zero suspension system represents the most important technological innovation developed by Mondraker to date. Zero is a virtual pivot system, with the rear shock floating between two system links. compressing the shock simultaneously on both sides. Thanks to the pivot and shock’s optimum position the Zero suspension system offers clear advantages when compared to the other systems, providing exceptional sensitivity not possible with a mono-pivot design.
Zero offers total pedalling independence, no noticeable chain elongation, no brake jack and outstanding bump absorption to shrug off big obstacles and enable you to handle even the toughest terrain.
Square Alloy Technology
The frame of the Tracker is made with Mondraker's SAT 6061 alloy tubing; square top and downtubes increase torsional strength and provide high levels of stiffness, whilst providing a distinctive appearance. The functioning and performance of the Zero suspension is guaranteed thanks to the sealed bearings in all the pivotal sections.
Integrated Front Derailleur
The frame has an integrated IFD front derailleur system with an anchor rail instead of the classic brace which use to surround the seat post tube (this system is developed and named by Shimano as Direct Mount) Thanks to the new derailleur characteristics and the joining piece developed by Mondraker stiffness and shifting precision is vastly superior to standard clamp on or E-type derailleurs.
About Mondraker
Founded in Alicante, Spain in 2001. Mondraker’s started producing bikes to support the increasing number of riders who were starting to push the limits of themselves and their equipment on rough local trails. Back then a range consisted of just 7 bikes, mostly designed to cater for the emerging Spanish freeride scene, but over the past decade Mondraker have built upon this humble beginning, expanding the range to cover all MTB disciplines and establishing themselves as one of the major European manufacturers.
Their goal has always been to provide the best technology and the highest quality at reasonable prices, to achieve this they blend innovative design and high quality components within the budget of all serious mountain bikers.
There are 2 USP's which permiate the entire Mondraker range, the first is their Stealth (side alloy structure) tubing which not only offers a high strength to weight ratio but along with their own Zero Suspension System delivers a distinctive look that's easily recognisable regardless of whether the bike is a world cup winning DH rig with 200mm of travel or a cross country flyer with a little over half that.
Developed for and tested within the World Cup DH scene with the input of professional riders; Cesar Rojo and Fabian Barel, both of these technologies hold testament to Mondraker’s commitment to technical performance, with the developments made here clearly influencing the production range.
