Quintana Roo (QR) was the first company to create a triathlon-specific wetsuit over 25 years ago, and then a tri-specific bicycle two years later. The company was founded in 1987 by Dan Empfield of Ironman fame and is currently owned by the American Bicycle Group.

I started Quintana Roo as a wetsuit company in early 1987. It was the first popular wetsuit in triathlon. We had a lot of immediate success. I moved to bikes the following year, and my first bike wasn’t a tri bike, but a women’s proportional bike.

Neutral is how I'd describe pretty much everything about the Quintana Roo – from the handling and its responsiveness through to the ride comfort. If you want a smooth, uninterrupted ride then you are going to get on very well with the QR. > Find your nearest dealer here(link is external) > Buy this online here(link is external) It's not the most co...
Quintana Roo says that the SRfive uses premium composite materials in its construction, which are overlaid into panels and moulded into frames. A stock frame has a claimed weight of 1,175g and that includes things like the bottle cage bolts, derailleur hanger and inserts. Like the full build, it's not the lightest out there, but it's no heavyweight...
The SRfive is available in a huge choice of builds at various prices, but ours is based around FSA's K-Force WE electronic groupset. I first reviewed this groupsetback in 2018 and to be honest, I wasn't overly impressed. It's not a bad groupset, it's just nowhere near as refined as the likes of Shimano's Di2 groups or SRAM's eTap AXS setups. The FS...
For the cockpit, this model has an FSA Energy Compact handlebar and Vision NS ACR stem, both with integrated cable routing. The handlebar gives plenty of hand position options and I found it very comfortable to use. Sitting atop the SRfive aero seatpost is a BBB Phalanx saddle. Its slender profile is suited to crouching down in the drops or riding ...
Vision supplies the wheelset with its Team 35 Comp SL Disc. The tubeless-ready alloy rim is 35mm deep, which gives a little bit of an aero advantage, and they roll well. They are handbuilt using aero spokes, and I had no issues with trueness or reliability throughout the test period. Even though the SRfive can take 32mm tyres, our model came with 2...
For this build, the SRfive comes in at £4,649.95. At the tail end of 2020 I reviewed the Orro Venturi STC with SRAM Force eTap AXS, which is also an aero road bike, just like the Quintana Roo. It also has the same hidden cable routing, and the geometry is very similar. I'd say its ride is a little more involving than the SRfive, though. It costs £4...
Overall, although the SRfive didn't captivate me in the way that some bikes do (that Orro, for instance), it's still a fast and fun bike, a smooth-riding, neutral-handling option that can be used to race or just ride hard on. Value-wise, it is up against some tough opposition, but it's not exactly overpriced.

May 2, 2024 · Back when it was released in 2021, Quintana Roo’s V-PR was a mixture of small upgrades to their PRsix2 Disc—QR’s second disc-brake model. It had some aero gains, lighter weight, a better ride, and some other little bits, bobs, and improvements.
