Diamondback Bicycles: Podium E'tape
According to the manufacturer website The Podium Etape is a lightweight and
aero race-ready steed for competition or your next gran fondo. The most
aerodynamic road bike we’ve ever made, its carbon fiber frame features
our Advanced Monocoque Molding SLP process.
Each frame is hand built according to a detailed layup schedule to
ensure a compliant and responsive ride for long days in the saddle. We
use mix of carbon laminates throughout the frame, maximizing response
and compliance where each is required. The fork utilizes Continuous
Fiber Technology and an oversized tapered head tube to deliver stable
handling, instilling confidence on tricky descents. The oversized down
tube and ultra-stiff bottom bracket allow the bike to accelerate at the
drop of a hat, transferring near instant power to the ground. Equipped
with a Shimano 105 groupset, this bike is ready for riders looking to
take their results to the next tier.
