MONDRAKER Frame 29" F-Podium Carbon RR SL | Carrera Blue
Mondraker was born out of Spanish downhill racer Miguel Pina's passion for mountain biking in 2001 to develop modern mountain bikes with a clear design language and innovative performance features such as the Zero Suspension System and Forward Geometry of the highest quality. Bikes that make the difference. Bikes that win! These approaches are the foundations of Mondraker's company philosophy and are naturally lived by all employees and team riders, which is also reflected in the new headquarters opening in 2021 in Alicante on the Costa Blanca in Spain. Anyone who has always wondered where the name Mondraker comes from? It is derived from the cartoon hero "Mandrake - the Magician".
The new F-Podium is the logical further development of the cross-country race classic and the latest answer from the Spaniards to the increasingly demanding courses in the World Cup. The biggest change results from the revised kinematics of the rear triangle, based on the new XCO-optimized Zero Suspension System with 110 mm travel at the rear. The shock sits more centrally in the frame and is directly connected to it, which results in better response and suspension behavior on the one hand and more progression on the other. Thanks to the shorter rear triangle, the frame has become more compact overall and therefore has a low unsprung mass. The thinner seat stays reduce the frame weight, while at the same time making the rear triangle stiffer and ensuring even more agile handling, whether in race mode or on the trail. The revised main frame can comfortably accommodate 2 bottles and longer seat posts. In addition to all the technical innovations, the F-Podium has been given a new design language with straighter lines and a more angular look, giving the thoroughbred race bike a minimalist and uniquely striking look.
Naturally, the engineers at Mondraker attached great importance to aesthetics and design when developing the F-Podium. This is why all cables and lines run through the frame using the HHG Cable Routing System. The geometry is designed for agility and speed and allows you to push yourself to the limit at all times. Every watt pedaled is effectively converted into propulsion. At the same time, thanks to the 110 mm travel at the rear and the Forward Geometry, it offers you enough safety to hit the optimum line downhill. The F-Podium is the first choice when it comes to best times up the mountain and down the trail. And that alone says it all! The frame comes with a RockShox SID Luxe Ultimate 3P Remote in Pull DebonAir shock.
XC Forward Geometry
The main advantages of the Forward Geometry are increased safety and more confidence on steep descents, even at high speeds, as well as more precision when going uphill. The result is agile, precise and direct handling at high speeds. Improved traction and control lead to more stability even on very technical and rough terrain.
Stealth Air Carbon
This technology enables the precise placement and alignment of the carbon mats according to the requirements of the respective model. The result is a frame with the best ratio of strength, stiffness, vibration damping and weight in the unmistakable Mondraker design.
XCO-optimized Zero Suspension System
This is a high-performance suspension system developed by Mondraker itself. The aim is to achieve the highest possible drive efficiency with maximum suspension performance. Like the Stealth Air Carbon, the Zero Suspension System is also individually designed for each Mondraker model and adapted to the corresponding requirements. The Zero Suspension System is based on the Dual Link Design and therefore falls into the category of suspension systems with a virtual pivot point. In this case, the shock floats between two suspension arms and is compressed at both ends. As a result, the rear end reacts extremely sensitively to the smallest of bumps and generates a lot of traction, while at the same time the suspension does not harden under braking. Of course, the suspension can also absorb rough impacts after drops. Furthermore, this system reduces pedal kickback to a minimum; even when the suspension travel is fully utilized, the length of the chainstays changes minimally.
Hidden Housing Guide
All cables and lines are routed through the frame for a clean look.
NOTE: Mondraker recommends taking the forward geometry of the frame into account when choosing the length of the stem (frame size S/M:55 mm stem length, frame size L: 65 mm stem length, frame size XL: 75 mm stem length).The frame damper must be used in conjunction with a Flight Attendant fork and a pedal sensor or power meter. The Flight Attendant system cannot function without these components.
