YOU ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO FINDING YOUR IDEAL COMBINATION
This season, the F-Podium and Podium ranges in their three R, RR, and RR SL configurations, now with updated specifications, are combined with three new colors so you can find the ideal combination of color and build: Team Issue, Flame Red, and Carbon. A range of colors chosen in detail by our Blue Lab painting department, with the aim of making your F-Podium/Podium part of your identity.
As with the Mondraker Arid Carbon range, you can now choose the build and color in both the F-Podium and Podium ranges.
Key Characteristics:
- This is a hardtail (rigid rear end) cross country race bike
- Significantly different geometry compared to full suspension F-Podium models
- Much lower bottom bracket drop (-65mm vs -40mm on F-Podium)
- Lower bottom bracket height (300mm vs 335mm on F-Podium)
- Slacker headtube angle (68.5 vs
66.5 on F-Podium)
- Shorter chainstays (430mm vs 435mm on F-Podium)
- Shorter wheelbase for more agile handling
- Steeper seat tube angle (73) for optimal pedaling position
Technology Highlights:
- Carbon frame construction for lightweight performance
- Fox suspension (front fork only, being a hardtail)
- SRAM electronic transmission system
- Kashima coating (premium Fox coating)
- Part of coordinated Podium hardtail range
Range Differentiation:
- This is the hardtail equivalent to the F-Podium full suspension range
- Podium = Hardtail models
- F-Podium = Full suspension models
- Both ranges share similar naming convention (R, RR, RR SL trim levels)
- Designed for cross country racing where hardtail efficiency is preferred
- Ask about other colour and size potions
