HIGHLIGHTS AND INFORMATION
THE CROSS COUNTRY BENCHMARK: Mondraker F-Podium
The Mondraker F-Podium is a world-class cross-country race bike built to dominate modern cross-country courses. With a completely reworked Stealth Air Carbon frame and an updated ZERO Suspension System, the F-Podium blends ultra-lightweight efficiency with race-proven traction and control. Featuring 120mm of front travel and 110mm in the rear, this next-generation cross-country platform is faster, more responsive, and more capable than ever.
WHY THE Mondraker F-Podium STANDS OUT
The Mondraker F-Podium meets the demands of today's more technical and aggressive cross-country courses. A redesigned rear triangle, straighter top tube, and updated geometry improve acceleration, handling, and comfort across all terrain types. The updated ZERO Suspension System enhances traction and efficiency with improved kinematics and a lower shock position for better mass centralization. From training loops to World Cup tracks, the F-Podium delivers podium-worthy performance every ride.
WHO SHOULD RIDE THE F-Podium
Designed for elite cross-country racers and ambitious riders chasing personal bests, the Mondraker F-Podium offers the ideal combination of lightweight carbon construction and precise suspension tuning. Whether you're sprinting through flat sections, navigating root-laced climbs, or bombing down rough descents, the F-Podium is built for full-gas efforts on demanding terrain. Trusted by top-level athletes, it is a proven machine for cross-country racing at every level.
WHAT CONTENDER BICYCLES LIKES ABOUT THE F-Podium
- Advanced Suspension Design: The updated ZERO Suspension System improves responsiveness and stability, absorbing hits without sacrificing pedaling performance.
- Lightweight Carbon Frame: A sub-2kg Stealth Air Carbon frame keeps the bike nimble and agile without compromising strength.
- Modern Geometry: The compact rear triangle and optimized fit create excellent balance and control on steep climbs and technical descents.
FRAME MATERIAL
The F-Podium features a full Stealth Air Carbon frame that prioritizes lightweight stiffness and trail compliance. Designed around 29-inch wheels, it offers superior rollover ability and high-speed confidence. Riders benefit from dual bottle cage mounts on all sizes, with clean, fully integrated cable routing through the headset and downtube. The compact seat tube design also allows compatibility with long-travel dropper posts.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The new suspension layout on the F-Podium is purpose-built for aggressive cross-country riding, offering improved performance and control where it matters most. It delivers more progressive travel to help maintain traction and control on technical descents, while improved compliance smooths out rough and chattery terrain. The updated design also reduces brake jack and pedal kickback, resulting in a more stable and consistent ride feel. On top of that, the suspension architecture is lighter and more compact, helping keep overall weight down without sacrificing efficiency.
GEOMETRY AND FIT
The Mondraker F-Podium’s geometry is optimized for modern cross-country speed, striking a perfect balance between climbing agility and descending stability.
- Stable at speed and on descents - thanks to the slack 66.5° headtube angle and long wheelbase
- Confident climbing position - the steep 76.2° effective seat tube angle, putting the rider over the pedals
- Long reach - gives it a modern, aggressive fit with room to move on technical terrain
- Low bottom bracket - improves cornering stability but may require more attention to pedal strikes
- 435 mm chainstays - strike a balance between nimble handling and rear-end traction
- Relatively low stack - (594.6 mm) and short headtube (90 mm) promote a more aggressive, XC-style riding position
