Podium S 2026

PODIUM
THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

Mondraker's Podium S 2026 represents the pinnacle of cross-country engineering, combining featherweight construction with razor-sharp handling characteristics. Built on a foundation of lateral rigidity that translates rider input into immediate trail response, this frame has proven itself in the most demanding competitive environments. Developed in partnership with PMX Racing Team, the platform carries a proven track record of elite-level success, including Bec McConnell's three consecutive 2022 World Cup victories—a testament to its performance credentials where margins are measured in milliseconds.

The Podium S 2026 arrives in three distinctly curated finishes—Team Issue, Flame Red, and Carbon—each refined through Mondraker's Blue Lab design process. Beyond aesthetic choice, these colour options reflect a commitment to allowing riders to align their equipment with personal style, transforming the frame from pure performance tool into an extension of individual identity and riding character.

For XC fanatics determined to ride at their very best. Surrender isn’t in the vocabulary.
