Mondraker Summum 2011 Review
The Mondraker Summum 2011 Mountain Bike is the result of 2 years of testing with none other than Fabien Barel. Before the frame was even released Barel had got onto the podium and even got a 1st place. So Mondraker knew they had a winning frame. Using Zero Suspension Technology thy have made a frame that virtually eliminates pedal bob and chain suck. Meaning that you don’t have to worry about anything than pointing this bike downhill and holding on. Using Stealth construction they manage to save weight and retain strength and stiffness while giving the frame a very distinct look. Kitted out with the finest parts available this is truly the pinnacle of downhill racing technology. The bike also comes with Mondraker adjustable geometry kit, this consists of CNC head angle adjuster and 4 chainstay length adjusters, this way the bike can be tweaked and adjusted to suit yourself or whatever tack you choose to destroy on your bike. So If you after something light and you like to tweak think a lot this is the right bike for you.
Quick and confidence inspiring DH rig designed by former downhill racer Cesar Rojo and developed with two-time world champion Fabien Barel and what has come out of this cooperation could only be the lightest complete downhill bike on the market. The Pro Team complete bike weights unbelievable 15.5 kg (34 lb) only!
