The Mondraker F-Podium R is a lightweight cross country bike that can hit high speeds on the most challenging courses with a reasonable price tag. Built around a lightweight Stealth Air Carbon frame and weighing under 2kg, the F-Podium is designed for speed, including 29-inch Mavic CrossMax Carbon XL R wheels. This version features a SRAM GX Eagle groupset for MTB-specific 12-speed mechanical shifting. It includes 120mm of front travel with a Fox 34 Step Cast Float Grip EVOL Performance and 110mm of rear travel with a Fox Float SL Performance SV EVOL Shock.

Mondraker used their Zero Suspension System to enhance pedaling efficiency and rear-wheel control by compressing the shock from both ends. The reworked kinematics improve acceleration, feedback, and overall performance while reducing power loss and pedal kickback. The redesigned rear triangle contributes to the bikes stiffness and strength while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of the frame. Asymmetric chainstays add to a balanced feel and pure speed. Practicality is still a priority with dual bottle cage mounts, integrated mudguards, and compatibility with up to 2.4-inch tires ensure practicality and versatility.

The F-Podium combines advanced carbon engineering with practical geometry for performance all over the trail. The Forward Geometry design ensures optimal stability and control, while the 53mm Q-factor and 10.7mm stack height maintain an ergonomic pedaling position. Mondraker's carbon optimization process delivers a frame that balances stiffness and vibration absorption, enhancing comfort and efficiency on extended rides. The frame's straight top tube and compact head tube improve maneuverability and flat-sided downtube adds strength and visual continuity. The Mondraker F-Podium has a fitting name with a build that will help you shoot for the top of the podium.
