The Mondraker Podium RR SL Carbon is an uncompromising cross-country hardtail mountain bike developed for riders who demand exceptional speed, efficiency and precision. Built around Mondraker's Stealth Air Carbon frame, the Podium RR SL combines lightweight construction with XC Forward Geometry to create a responsive racing platform. Its 29-inch wheel configuration provides efficient rolling performance over challenging terrain, while the hardtail design delivers direct power transfer for explosive acceleration and demanding climbs. With a manufacturer-quoted weight of just 8.5kg, the Podium RR SL is designed for competitive XC racing, marathon events and riders looking to maximise performance on every section of the course.
Advanced RockShox Flight Attendant electronic suspension technology is central to the Podium RR SL's performance. The RockShox SID SL Ultimate Flight Attendant fork provides 100mm of travel, combining a DebonAir+ air spring with Charger Race Day 2 damping and electronically controlled Open, Pedal and Lock compression settings. This allows the suspension to respond intelligently to changing terrain, helping riders maintain efficiency and control without constantly adjusting the fork manually. SRAM's XX SL Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed drivetrain delivers precise wireless electronic shifting, with a lightweight carbon crankset, 34T chainring and wide-range 10-52T cassette providing an efficient gearing setup for technical climbs and fast racing. SRAM Motive Ultimate four-piston hydraulic disc brakes offer controlled stopping performance, while 160mm rotors at both ends contribute to the bike's lightweight racing configuration.
Every detail of the Podium RR SL has been selected with cross-country performance in mind. Mavic Crossmax Ultimate Carbon wheels feature lightweight carbon rims, ceramic hub bearings and a 30mm internal rim width, creating a responsive platform for rapid acceleration and precise handling. Maxxis Aspen ST 29x2.40 tyres with MaxxSpeed compound, EXO protection and tubeless-ready construction deliver efficient rolling performance and dependable traction. An integrated Onoff S9 carbon handlebar and stem provides a streamlined cockpit, while the Onoff S9 Carbon seatpost and Fizik Vento Argo 00 Carbon saddle contribute to the bike's lightweight construction. With internal cable routing, a threaded BSA bottom bracket and SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger, the Mondraker Podium RR SL combines premium racing technology with practical component compatibility for ambitious cross-country riders.
