Updated Mondraker Summum & Ari Superior Peak Now Include Newest Parts From SRAM & RockShox
Both SRAM and RockShox had major announcements yesterday as February comes to a close. While weve seen DH forks and drivetrains that look a touch different or seem new, the brands have done a pretty good job of keeping their latest offerings under wraps.Now, the new RockShox Boxxer and updated Vivid Ultimate, SRAM XX DH Transmission, and updated Maven brakes have been released. No more hiding, no more secrecy. So, of course, were starting to see some brands updating their DH bikes with these new components.It started with the Pivot Phoenix XX DH Special Edition, and continues with some other rad offerings, likely with many more to come. New DH OfferingsMondraker SummumThe Summum stretches back more than 15 years. The DH bike came into production in 2011, with the earliest sightings in the years leading up. And, with the release of the latest and greatest from SRAM and RockShox, were seeing a brand new Summum hitting the tracks.Well, actually, this bike has been hitting the tracks for over a year now. Mondraker says theyve been working on the bike for a couple of years, with earlier prototypes sitting atop podium steps.The new Mondraker Summun helped Ronan Dunne snag a World Cup victory at Les Gets last season. It was also beneath Ryan Pinkerton when he was crowned the 2025 US DH National Champion.The bike also had an appearance at last years Redbull Hardline in Tasmania. But many missed it, simply because not much has changedvisually, at least.Mondraker slightly changed the rocker link, making the latest version a bit shorter. It also sits lower in the frame. They also moved the rear shock mount a bit lower on the frame and added a flip chip, allowing you to change the bottom bracket height by 5mm and the headtube angle by 0.35.There are also adjustments on the rear dropouts. Chainstays sit at 455mm across the three sizes, but can grow or shrink by 5mm. Reach-adjust headset cups also allow for 5mm of adjustment.In fact, geometry is likely the most significant change on this DH rig. Mondraker continues with the longer, lower, slacker trend for the new Summum. The chainstays and reach are both longer compared to previous iterations. The headtube angle is a whole degree slacker, sitting at 62.5, and the stack has also increased to 642mm on a size large.Combined, these give the new Summum a lengthy wheelbase of just over 1,315mm. Longer indeed. Along with geo tweaks, the Summum sees some kinematic tweaks to its Zero Suspension System. More mid-stroke support was added, allowing the bike to ride a touch higher in its travel.And, of course, the Summum is sporting the new DH offerings from SRAM and RockShox.Mondraker Summum DetailsMondraker offers the Summum in two builds: Summum R and RR. Both feature Mondrakers Stealth Alloy frame and remain mixed-wheeled. The Summum RR sports the latest and greatest DH components from RockShox and SRAM which probably includes the new brakes. At this point, without the brand listing, whether its the Maven A1 or B1, its anyones guess.

While nothing has changed as far as frame and geometry go, the new Superior peak does see some other fairly significant changes.First, as more DH racers and park rats alike are taking advantage of a smaller rear wheel, the bike will now come standard in the mixed-wheel configuration. But those enjoying the rollover of the larger rear wheel will be happy to know that the frame still accommodates a 29 wheel.The Superior Peak is also getting a color refresh, adding Chameleon Metallic and Raw Alloy/Black.And, obviously, Ari is using many of the new DH components from SRAM and RockShox across the builds. This includes the new Boxxer, Vivid Coil, Maven brakes, and XX DH Transmission. Ari is using not only the new top-level Ultimate suspension but also the new Select-level suspension on lower models.But, we like to drool over the top-specd DH bikes, so here is the build for Aris Superior Peak Pro:Fork: RockShox Boxxer UltimateShock: RockShox Vivid Ultimate DHBrakes: SRAM Maven Silver (revised SwingLink)Drivetrain: SRAM XX DH TransmissionWheels: Crankbrothers Synthesis DH Alloy V2Tires: Maxxis Assegai/DHRPrice: $7,899Check it out, along with the other builds, at aribikes.com.The post Updated Mondraker Summum & Ari Superior Peak Now Include Newest Parts From SRAM & RockShox appeared first on Bikerumor.
