Mondraker launches its new Plunder - Primus Sports

The rear side gets generous square section links, with sealed bearings in both main pivot and
Horst Link and CNC machined rear drop-outs
with a reinforcement linked to the squared
rearstays by big welding cords. These drop-outs
are designed for a 12mm diameter through axle
and a 150mm hub, that way a higher
stability and stiffness at the rear is
obtained. Finally, you will find a CNC
machined main link with a stainless steel
shaft for a better strength and longer
longevity.
Cinematic / Geometry
When it was time to develop the cinematic, our top priorities were to get a suspension system
with the biggest absorption ability as possible but also very sensitive on small bumps; and for
this, nothing better than the roots of our Petrol Downhill cinematic.
This system is based on a distorted parallelogram with four pivots (four-bar rear suspension), and
one of them attaches the rear axle to the seatstay instead of the swingarm (Horst Link). The
Horst Link allows the wheel to move freely in a vertical path, avoiding chain tension and braking.
We have also achieved to minimize the brake calliper action, so even when the rear wheel is
stuck, the suspension remains fully active and does not get compressed or extended.
Furthermore, the specific main link plays a key role in the suspension system. Firstly, when the
main link is at its initial position with an appropriate SAG of 25%, the angle over the shock
offers an amazing sensitivity and the best traction ever as soon as the terrain gets rough (put your
hands on the saddle, compress it slowly and enjoy the sweetness!). Then the shock gets
compressed progressively, offering maximum control through all its travel, enable to fully use
the 180mm travel of the bike easily while keeping a sweet bottom-out control.
