Foxy Carbon XR

The Mondraker Foxy is a 29-inch enduro and all-mountain bike built around 150mm of rear travel and a 160mm fork. This generation introduces a substantially reworked carbon frame, updating the brand's signature dual-link Zero Suspension System with redesigned kinematics and a longer-stroke shock. The chassis is stiffer around the bottom bracket and lower link, bringing the platform up to modern standards with a threaded bottom bracket, SRAM UDH compatibility, and a recessed pocket for Fidlock bottles.

Positioned for aggressive riders who prioritize speed and technical capability, the Foxy relies on a distinct geometry philosophy that heavily influences its character. It is not designed as a relaxed trail cruiser, but rather a purpose-built machine for assertive pilots willing to push the bike into steep, demanding terrain.

Fit and geometry

The Foxy is built around Mondraker’s Forward Geometry concept, which pairs a notably long reach with a miniature 30mm stem. A size large features a 485mm reach and a slack 64.5-degree head angle, creating a massive front center. This layout dictates a specific riding posture: the rider must actively shift their weight forward and low over the bars to keep the front tire tracking, especially on steep climbs or flat corners where the light steering can otherwise lead to front wheel wander.

A key feature of this generation is the geometry flip chip located in the lower linkage. This two-position adjustment allows riders to alter the chainstay length from a compact 435mm to a more stable 445mm. Flipping the chip also changes the head and seat tube angles by half a degree and adjusts the bottom bracket height, giving riders a meaningful way to tune the bike's weight distribution.

While the frame offers generous standover clearance, the stock dropper posts are relatively short for a modern enduro bike, maxing out at 170mm on the largest sizes.

Builds

The Foxy lineup spans six models, starting with a single alloy-framed R build before moving into five carbon-framed options. The carbon ladder begins with the Carbon R and Carbon R AXS, which utilize Fox suspension and SRAM GX drivetrains. Moving up, the Carbon RR and Carbon RR AXS switch to Öhlins suspension—specifically the RXF 36 M.2 fork and TTX Air shock—which adds highly tunable, race-oriented damping to the package. The range tops out with the Carbon Unlimited 20th Anniversary edition, featuring Fox Factory suspension, a SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission, and carbon wheels.

Across the board, Mondraker relies heavily on SRAM brakes, ranging from Code Bronze on the alloy model to Code Silver on the halo build. Wheelsets are predominantly supplied by e*thirteen, utilizing aluminum rims on the standard models and carbon on the Anniversary edition.

Despite the escalating price tags, Mondraker specs Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tires with EXO+ casings across the entire range. Similarly, most builds pair a 200mm front brake rotor with a 180mm rear rotor. Riders pushing the Foxy to its enduro limits will likely need to factor in the cost of tougher tire casings and a larger rear rotor, regardless of which build they choose.

Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the Foxy for its exceptional pedaling efficiency, noting that the Zero Suspension platform isolates the drivetrain to prevent pedal bob. The bike "crawls up rocks" (Bikeco) with remarkable traction, and testers found that "energy input is promptly translated to the rear wheel whether you’re cruising or stomping" (Flow Mountain Bike). This efficiency means riders rarely need to reach for the shock's climb switch, a rarity for a long-travel 29er.

Pointed downhill, the bike thrives at high speeds. The long wheelbase and supportive suspension allow riders to "bomb down fast trail sections with extreme confidence" (Enduro MTB). However, testers emphasize that the Foxy demands an attentive, skilled pilot. At slower speeds or on mellower trails, the handling can feel twitchy, requiring constant rider input to maintain traction.

While the frame and suspension kinematics earn high marks, reviewers frequently point out spec limitations. The stock Öhlins rear shock was described by some as "too linear out of the box" (Flow Mountain Bike), prompting heavier or more aggressive riders to add maximum volume spacers for bottom-out support. Additionally, testers broadly agreed that the stock EXO+ tires and 180mm rear brake rotors are under-gunned for the bike's descending capabilities, strongly recommending upgrades to tougher casings and larger rotors.
