Mondraker F-Podium RS

While the F-Podium RS is optimized for cross-country racing, its progressive geometry and 120mm/110mm suspension travel make it highly capable for aggressive trail riding. It balances the efficiency needed for climbing with enough stability to handle technical descents comfortably.

Forward Geometry uses a longer reach and a slacker head tube angle to push the front wheel further forward. This increases stability at high speeds and on steep descents without sacrificing the sharp, responsive steering required for tight cross-country tracks.

The wireless AXS system is generally low-maintenance, but you will need to keep the derailleur battery charged and ensure the firmware is updated via the SRAM app. Because it is electronic, it eliminates cable stretch and housing friction, resulting in consistent, precise shifting over time.

The Zero Suspension System is designed to be efficient under pedaling loads, meaning it resists bobbing without needing constant lockout adjustments. You can tune the air pressure and rebound to suit your weight and riding style, but the platform is inherently stable and requires minimal tinkering once set.

Yes, the bike comes with tubeless-ready rims. You will just need to add tubeless sealant and ensure your tires are seated properly to take full advantage of the lower tire pressures and puncture protection.

The F-Podium RS weighs approximately 26.2 lbs. Mondraker achieves this weight using their Stealth Air Carbon construction, which is engineered to be stiff and lightweight for racing while maintaining the structural integrity required for rugged trail use.
