Diamondback Bicycles Serios F Triathlon/Time Trial Bike

Diamondback Serios F Triathlon/Time Trial Road Bike - 2016

What is being heralded as the fastest bike on the planet, the Diamondback Serios is about one thing, and one thing only: speed. Diamondback has partnered with HED Cycling and KQ Studios to produce a bike that is unmatched in aerodynamics and performance. The Diamondback Serios F Triathlon/Time Trial Road Bike, constructed of high grade carbon fiber, is equipped with only the latest and greatest componentry: Shimano Ultegra Di2, HED Jet 5 Express wheels, and an integrated HED bar and stem combo.

When it comes to triathlons and time trials, most are won or lost on the climbs and descents, and not on the flats. With this in mind, Diamondback and HED designed the frame's geometry so it can handle ascents, steep descents, around hairpin corners--conditions you'll encounter in a time trial or triathlon. While the handling is incredibly impressive, it's the Serios' aerodynamics that make it shine on course. Among many features, the Serios custom stem and riser system that manages the airflow from the tip of the aero bar to the rear of the seat post, "...experiences half the drag to the competition", says Kevin Quan, Lead Engineer for Diamondback. The Diamondback Serios frame is constructed with unidirectional carbon, which is unparalleled in power transfer and comfort. Thanks to its unique headset spacers, it's able to fit virtually every body shape (it needed to fit their pro team, which meant a wide range of body types and heights, from 5'4" to 6'5"). The Serios triathlon/time trial bike is the result of extensive wind tunnel and real world testing, making it a speed bike that turns and rides like no other. Finally, in the real world of crosswinds and corners, this bike's design outperforms all others.

The Diamondback Serios F features a Shimano Ultegra 6800 race crankset and a Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic drivetrain. Changing gears has never been so easy, effortless and fast. Ultegra Di2 features an automatic trimming front derailleur, so you never have to hear the sound of chain rub again. The shifters act with digital push button shifting and are ergonomically shaped for optimal comfort and control. The lever reach adjust fits all hand sizes. The Di2 rear derailleur is pre-programmed allowing you to shift gear quickly and accurately in all conditions. The derailleur is immune to rough circumstances and protected from impact damage by its reinforced inner cage. It has a maximum sprocket of 28-teeth for wide-range gearing. The battery, at the heart of the drivetrain, uses lithium ion technology and guarantees a range of 1,250 miles, or almost half the length of the Tour de France, before it needs to be recharged, which only takes just 90 minutes.

That's right, those aren't any run-of-the-mill wheels. The HED Jet 5 Express wheels feature state of the art technology. Built with today's most advanced wheel technologies and cutting-edge features such as their new light weight unidirectional carbon aero sections, ground breaking C2 rims, and sonic hubs, the Jet 5 Express is the high-performance wheel you've been waiting for. They're outfitted with a set of fast-rolling Continental Grandprix 4000 S II tires with an advanced BlackChili compound for low rolling resistance, high mileage and maximum wet weather grip. Plus, the Vectran breaker delivers unsurpassed puncture protection.

While the features of the Serios are almost too many to name, the bike itself is quite easy to name, and it's only available from Diamondback.
