At well under 1000 grams, the PODIUM CARBON has one of the lightest hardtail frames currently on the market. With lean 9,7 kg, the Mondraker Hardtail is among the lightest bikes in this category. When it comes down to handling, Mondraker does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Mondraker PODIUM CARBON is ready for the majority of singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Considering that in the range under 4500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
