After more than 3 years of development, the most ambitious project in recent times from Mondraker sees the light day and becomes reality. F-Podium is the first dual suspension bike Cross Country bike from the Spanish brand, born to conquer the best international circuits and captivate the most demanding XC enthusiasts – riders and racers alike.
“Two full seasons in the World Cup and international XCO races. Many prototypes developed and evolved in search of perfection. Countless hours of training until the exhaustion and competitions to the limit on the part of the runners of the equipment Primaflor-Mondraker-Rotor. An infinite number of timed stages, laps in races and data collected in the potentiometers and GPS devices. Important international victories and top-10 highlights in World Cup and World Championship events. All with the goal and the complex challenge of creating our best, most complete and sophisticated Cross Country racing bike possible. “ – Mondraker
