Hardtail

**LIMITED EDITION, EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FROM VELOZOOM** Images do not depict actual product When Team Jumbo-Visma decided it was time to race XCO, they came to us for the answer. The ZHT-5 marks a new era for Cervelo and the team, as we go racing together. Our engineering expertise has already been proven in cyclocross (R5-CX) and gravel racing (Áspero), and now we've upped the ante and designed a mountain bike worthy of the Cervelo name. ZHT-5 is a Cervelo through and through: fast, efficient, and fun to ride. The 69-degree head tube angle, modern reach, and short chainstays combine to make a bike that's stable at speed and nimble enough for pack racing. There's room to maneuver in the cockpit, whether you're darting inside on an uphill hairpin, or hanging off the back to make time on the descent. - Speed First Our mantra is to make riders faster. And doing that means creating bikes that turn power into forward motion as efficiently as possible. Nothing does this more effectively in dirt than a hardtail. But power is nothing without control, so we focused on making a rapid cross-country race bike that still handles confidently in technical sections, feeding the desire to ride faster. - Stiff, Light & Ready To Fight Weighing in at just 907g (size Medium), ZHT-5 is a featherweight fighter with the punchy turn of pace that only a hardtail can deliver. Decades of making frames built for the strongest sprinters in the world have fed into a super stiff mountain bike design that propels you to the front without compromising weight or ride quality. - Modern Geo For The Modern XC Rider If you've not ridden a hardtail for a while, you'll be surprised at how the ZHT-5's 69-degree head tube angle, 457mm reach (size L), and 430mm chainstays feel progressive and refreshingly modern. If you've ridden them all your life, you'll be baffled at how we've managed to eke out yet more performance from such a clean and simple design. The ZHT-5's geometry puts you in the driving seat to carve up all the tight hairpins and features that litter the ups and downs of today's XC trails. - Not Our First Rodeo We know from winning cyclo-cross World Champs that when the going gets gritty, threaded bottom brackets are the best way to go. ZHT-5 adopts the BSA threaded standard to meet the strength, stiffness, durability, and serviceability needs of racers and race mechanics alike. It also makes it the ideal winter training companion.

Yes, it is true, it is the most economical bike of the Podium range, but that’s no bad thing. Not surprisingly it uses the same frame as the Podium RR SL, exactly the same. Considering its frame, it’s a steal compared to the competition. A frame weighing less than 800 grams makes the PODIUM a light bike like no other for its price. What’s more, thanks to the STEALTH CARBON AIR optimized for the PODIUM it soaks up the trail chatter like no other and it’s super agile too. Add to that the RockShox SID SL Base RL fork, Mavic Crossmax wheels, and SRAM GX Eagle/NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, you’ll be signing up for your first race as soon as you walk out of the shop door. You’ll probably win too!

STEALTH AIR CARBON and XC FORWARD GEOMETRY tailored to the production bike with the lightest frame in the world, are credentials enough to show that the PODIUM R is the heir to the best that we are capable of at Mondraker. Weighing less than 9 kilos, it’s the ideal bike for riders who want to get the most out of every ride, as well as for those who want to compete at the highest level, either at a local weekend race or in a UCI points event, or even in a World Cup with the best riders on the planet!

Our cross country bike are all about being extremely light, agile and stiff. With over 20 years of experience in building incredible bikes with the latest features, the Mondraker XC Race is ideal for eking out your last iota of performance. Thanks to the PMX Racing Team, it’s stood atop numerous international podiums, even winning the first 3 rounds of the 2022 World Cup with Bec McConnell aboard; A historic feat for the Australian aboard the top of the range F-Podium DC RR. Our proprietary technologies such as FORWARD GEOMETRY, STEALTH AIR FULL CARBON and ZERO SUSPENSION SYSTEM are on everyone's lips and make these models benchmarks on the international XC circuit. The F-PODIUM will help you climb to the top step of the podium thanks to its absolutely unreal performance on the most demanding of circuits. If hardtails are your thing, the PODIUM will be your choice of weapon. The exhaustive work we carried out on the manufacture of the frame made it the lightest mass-produced frame on the market at the time; and for the time being it still is! Considering our whole catalogue, the PODIUM range is one of the ones we’re proudest of, and that’s saying something! Depending on the circuit it’s the choice of both the PMG Racing Team and of Bec McConnell. You can’t say it any clearer than that!
