Fork material
F-PODIUM RR SL has an aluminum fork, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The F-PODIUM RR SL has a rear shock with a travel of 110mm. The model Rockshox SID Luxe Ultimate 3P Remote in Pull DebonAir is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
The F-PODIUM RR SL 2024 bike is equipped with 29″ carbon wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
