Yes, it's true: our roots are deeply rooted in downhill. But over the 20+ years we've been building high-performance bikes, XC has become a top priority for us. Why? Because it's in our DNA and runs through our veins to always get the most out of our bikes. Thanks to the ongoing improvements we have continually made, the F-PODIUM DC has become a regular on the World Cup podiums in recent years. And the 2022 season was no exception. The constant development of the F-PODIUM DC has led us to rework the rear suspension and increase the travel up to 115mm. This makes it easier to cope with the adversities of today's XC routes. And that's exactly the key: the constant development of our bikes to meet new needs. That's why the F-PODIUM DC is now one of the bikes that sets the tone in the world of cross country bikes.
