QR leaps to 5th place in Kona Bike Count
After the 2014 Kona Ironman World Championships Bike Count - Quintana Roo moved up a notch from sixth place to fifth place for 76 bikes surpassing Scott, Cannondale, Giant & BMC bikes. Quintana Roo is the pioneer of the triathlon sport specific bikes that was unveiled on 1989 when Dan Empfield filled the gap with QR's first ever tri-specific bikes. Fast forward to 2014, QR has launched the new 2015 PR-6 super bikes which is the lightest tri/TT frameset on the market today - aerodynamic + lighweight.
About QR -
Quintana Roo invented both the triathlon-specific bicycle and wetsuit. The same creative juices that created the innovative fit and features that first made triathletes go faster are flowing again today. In 2009, the goal for Quintana Roo is to completely reinvent the way triathletes can use their bike to gain an advantage. We weren't looking to shave a second with frame design, but really find a way to cheat the wind all while designing beneath the most refined FIST fit and position parameters. Bikes have evolved a little over the years, but the tri bike has essentially stayed the same. In 2009 Quintana Roo wanted to bring a bike to triathletes that was as groundbreaking as the Superform in 1989.
The result is the most talked about bike in the field - the CD0.1. Named after its incredibly low coefficient of drag, this bike is truly groundbreaking just like Ray's Superform. We don't believe the wind tunnel is a marketing tool like most companies do: this bike was developed in one.
In wetsuits, we wanted to raise the bar even further. We added a new material to a crucial spot on the Superfull and the result is a suit that fits, feels, and performs even better. Our suits have always been known for their fit as well as their speed, and on all models we went back to our design vault to dial in all 18 men's and women's sizes.
