We've been invited to @MondrakerTV HQ in Alicante to sample the local area and everything it has to offer by gravel bike. The Arid is Mondraker's first gravel bike and they have not held back, applying their trademark Forward Geometry to the genre. They've crammed this bike with cool features, making it a beast for all-day gravel adventures and multi-day bike-packing trips. Owen Coutts was on hand to try it out, and see if simpler bikes can make for better rides!
