Do you dream of the epic mountain passes and fan lined promenades of big European stage races? The Podium Equipe exudes this spirit of competition. Designed in collaboration with some of the greatest minds in the business, this is our fastest and most aero Podium to date. Our Advanced Monocoque Molding Process SLP carbon construction creates a sub-900 gram frame that is built for elite competition. Its unique layup uses over 300 individual pieces of carbon laminate, with a mix of characteristics to optimize ride and performance: it’s plenty compliant to go the distance, yet stiff enough for out-of-the saddle climbs and do-or-die sprints. The Continuous Fiber Technology fork and tapered head tube provide unbeatable steering precision, delivering confidence in a nervous peloton or high speed corners. With its unmatched ride quality and a superior build, the Podium Equipe is a world class road race machine.
