Aero's out; slack & stable are in: Mondraker Arid is the MTB brand's first gravel bike

Spanish brand Mondraker just released its first gravel bike, the Arid. I busted my shoulder and missed the chance to test ride a bike ahead of launch, but I did get the opportunity to go visit Mondraker's relatively new US headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, to get the download from the team on what they are trying to achieve with this new bike. -- The Ride is supported in 2024 by: Castelli clothing: http://tinyurl.com/43k6pftp Perc Coffee: https://tinyurl.com/fjr7nurr (save 15% with code 'ride15') Giro helmets: http://tinyurl.com/72svzzxp Silca maintenance: https://bit.ly/47xxvzj (save 10% with code 'theridewithben10') First Endurance nutrition: https://bit.ly/41SDgqq (save 20% with code 'THERIDE') Shimano shoes & glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r
