At well under 1000 grams, the PODIUM CARBON R has one of the lightest hardtail frames currently on the market. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 8,9 kg, the Mondraker PODIUM CARBON R is a real lightweight. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Mondraker engineers. For 5699 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Mondraker is behind its products.
