Overview of components
Fork
The Fox Performance Float 34 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 120mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX Float DPS SV EVOL Performance Elite, with a travel distance of 100mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the F-Podium DC R bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The F-Podium DC R has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
F-Podium DC R comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
Dropper post
The Mondraker model is also equipped with a dropper post. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
