F-PODIUM UNLIMITED EFFORT.

It’s time for the Olympics. It’s time for Paris! One event, one year, circled in red on the calendar of every elite rider in the world. The Australian, Bec Henderson, and the Czech, Ondřej Cink, are swapping their Primaflor Mondraker Racing Team colours for those of their countries. At a moment in time when they’re feeling their national identities like never before, fighting for them, digging deeper than ever before for them, how could we not personalize their F-PODIUMS to make them something to be truly proud of? NO GUTS, NO GLORY!

XCO

The Olympic games are for many racers the culmination of years of training, victories, defeats, injuries and above all sacrifice. Above and beyond the World Cup, or the rainbow stripes of a World Championships, the Olympic Games are history in the making, your name in a hall-of-fame 128 years in the making (or 2800 years if we count ancient Greece which is, after all, where it all started).

Paris, the host of the event, has everything ready for the Opening Ceremony on the 26th July, and just two days after that the XCO will kick off with the women’s event from Élancourt Hill, 30km from Paris and within sight of the Eiffel tower.

Bec Henderson & Ondřej Cink

The riders of the Primaflor Mondraker Racing Team, will be representing Australia and the Czech Republic respectively.

To properly honour their participation our paint shop has pulled out all the stops to make their bikes even more spectacular than ever before, with a totally unique paint scheme designed specifically for this event.

PERSONALIZED F-PODIUM UNLIMITED EFFORT

Despite being inspired by the minimalism of the lines and the graphics of our F-PODIUM Unlimited Flight Attendant, we wanted the F-PODIUM UNLIMITED EFFORT to have a more organic feel, so we merged the flags of each country and the matte black of the frames to create something really special. The colours have been finished in gloss, all the better to contrast with the matte black of the background. Both bikes have details such as the Olympic Rings on the top tube and the name of each racer and the logo of the Paris games inscribed on the downtube.

THE WAY FORWARD

We know that neither Bec nor Ondřej are having an easy ride of it this year, but we also know that the Olympics are something truly special, something that makes you dig deeper than ever before, to leave it all on the line come what may. The 28th and 29th of July will see the best riders in the world fighting it out for the medals, the glory and their place in the history books. MONDRAKER will be there with them all the way to the finish line.
