Mondraker F-PODIUM RR SL

The Flight Attendant system uses sensors to automatically adjust your fork and shock compression settings in real-time based on your pedaling input and terrain. It effectively eliminates the need to manually toggle lockout levers, ensuring you have maximum efficiency on climbs and full traction on descents without thinking about it.

While the F-PODIUM RR SL is engineered specifically for XCO racing, its 120mm of front travel and progressive geometry make it quite capable for aggressive trail riding. It is exceptionally fast and efficient, though riders who prefer a more relaxed, upright position for casual cruising might find the aggressive XC geometry demanding over very long distances.

The integrated SRAM XX SL power meter allows you to track your wattage output with high precision directly from the drivetrain. This is essential for serious training and pacing during races, providing accurate data without the added weight or complexity of external power meter pedals.

Mondraker’s Forward Geometry features a longer reach and shorter stem, which pushes the front wheel further forward. This setup increases stability at high speeds and improves confidence on steep technical sections, while the short stem keeps the steering feeling quick and responsive.

The internal routing creates a clean, protected aesthetic, but it does require more patience during service compared to external setups. Because the bike uses wireless AXS shifting and dropper post components, there are fewer cables to manage overall, which simplifies maintenance significantly.

These tires are designed for speed on hardpack, dry, and mixed-terrain trails. They feature a low-profile tread pattern that rolls very quickly, though they may lack the deep bite needed for loose mud or extremely wet, technical conditions.
