Mondraker Podium R 2025 Hardtail Mountain Bike - Bronze
Light, Fast and Built for Pure XC Speed
The Mondraker Podium R 2025 is a premium carbon hardtail built for riders who want direct power transfer, fast acceleration and a proper race-ready feel. With a lightweight Stealth Air Carbon frame, 100mm Fox Step-Cast suspension and a sharp XC geometry package, it is designed for covering ground quickly and getting the most out of every pedal stroke.
This is a bike aimed at riders who want a very fast cross-country hardtail with a high-end feel. Carbon wheels, carbon finishing kit and a sorted SRAM 12-speed drivetrain give it that crisp, lively ride feel that makes a good hardtail feel properly rewarding on climbs, flatter trails and race-style riding.

Why It Stands Out
The Podium R is all about giving hardtail XC riders a light, premium build without going all the way to the absolute top of the range. It still gets a seriously strong spec, including a Fox Factory fork, carbon wheels and carbon finishing kit, so it feels fast and high-end from the first ride.
It is also a very clean, focused build. Everything is aimed at speed, low weight and efficiency rather than comfort-led trail riding. That makes it a great option for riders who want a proper cross-country hardtail for racing, training or just riding fast.
