The Podium is Mondraker's carbon cross-country race hardtail, a bike built with one job in mind: going as fast as possible between the tape. It has a serious race record behind it, too, racking up international podiums with the brand's factory team and winning the opening three rounds of the 2022 XC World Cup under Bec McConnell.
At its heart is a Stealth Air carbon frame that is remarkably light for a production bike, combined with XC Forward Geometry. The longer front centre and shorter stem give you more stability and confidence on technical descents than a traditional race hardtail, without blunting its sharp, efficient feel on the climbs.
The Carbon R build is a properly race-ready package at 9.3kg. A Fox 32 Step-Cast Factory fork with remote lockout takes care of the front end, Mavic Crossmax Carbon SL R wheels keep rotating weight low, and SRAM's 12-speed Eagle drivetrain with an X01 rear derailleur and carbon Stylo cranks handles the gearing, with carbon OnOff Helium bar and seatpost finishing things off.
