Energy efficiency perfected. The PRIDE is currently breaking all wind tunnel records, boasts minimal drag, and makes highly efficient use of the slipstream effect for maximum propulsion. This benefits not only pros at top speed, but especially long-distance riders at moderate speeds.
Racers, take note: Want to take on air resistance and ride faster than ever before? The PRIDE’s carbon frame and all components have been optimized through flow simulations and based on extensive wind tunnel measurements. The result: a textbook example of an aero racer. According to Simplon’s database, there is currently no faster UCI-compliant road bike on the market.
Aero CockpitSIMPLON’s innovative technologies make the Pride II a first-class aero racer. The two-arm carbon stem unit is aerodynamically optimized and elegantly integrated into the frame. All lines and cables are completely routed internally, ensuring minimal air resistance.
Aero-optimized fork
High stiffness characterizes the aerodynamically optimized fork on the PRIDE.
Aero-optimized frame
The PRIDE’s frame was optimized through multiple development stages based on flow simulations and wind tunnel tests. Unmistakable features include the wide steerer and the high-rising bottom bracket area.
Adjustable seatpost
The aero seatpost is available in two basic positions for maximum flexibility: 1.0 mm offset and 2.17 mm offset.
Roller Trainer Ready
Models with this designation have passed a special test and may be used with standard rollers. The condition is that the carbon frame is not clamped directly, but is secured via a special axle on the respective roller trainer.
