Chris P's Proto Foxy XR Zero Stem
Ever since I saw Cesar Rojo’s bike at the Trans Provence I have wanted one of these! A large Mondraker Foxy with a REALLY long front triangle designed to be run with a ‘Zero stem’. It has DH bike wheelbase at 49 inches, DH bike handlebar to axle relationship (for confidently loading the front end on steep downs) whilst still keeping a ‘normal’ head angle for low speed work and for climbing. I can’t wait to finish it and try it out! It’s mental that I can finally get an XC bike that is longer than ANY stock DH bike! Good on Mondraker for being brave enough to make it! There’ll be a Zero stem Foxy and a Zero stem Dune in the range as an XR for the 2013 product year...
