New F-PODIUM, new frame, new design. Sharing design cues with the recently released NEAT, the F-PODIUM’s updated design language is unmissable due mainly to straighter, more angular lines, a flattened, totally straight top tube, a more stylised and compact head tube and a shorter, more minimalist seat tube which allows for longer travel seatposts. The downtube has markedly flat sides which take your eye seamlessly all the way from the headtube, past the bottom bracket and on to the chainstays.
The redesigned and optimised UPDATED ZERO SUSPENSION SYSTEM helps create a more minimalist aesthetic with the rear shock sitting lower in the frame, a rear triangle which is far more compact compared to the original, smaller drop-outs and slender seat stays.
This total redesign of the swingarm architecture provides a more rigid, stronger and tougher structure and contributes to an overall frame weight of under 2kg.
