NeilPryde Comes To RIDE
For 40 years NeilPryde has been at the cutting edge of designing and developing high performance products that go fast. They know a thing or two about speed. About the precise science of aerodynamics. About developing cutting edge technologies and utilising composite materials. About the buzz of going faster than the other guy and the rush of handling a machine that defies logic.
In 2010 NeilPryde applied this passion to the world of cycling, launching the Alize and Diablo bikes designed in collaboration with BMW Group Desingworks USA. And now RIDE, one of only two UK suppliers can offer you these amazing bikes.
Meet the Alize. Sexy? Yes. Smart? Definitely.
This isn't just any racing bike. It's a very fast racing bike. Or to be more specific: the archetype of aerodynamics in motion.
The Alize design reflects a balance between elegant engineering and insane speed. Its enviously beautiful body is sculpted from C6.7 unidirectional carbon fibre – a unique combination of high-modulus materials exclusively developed for NeilPryde bikes.
Now take a closer look, because the devil is in the details. Morphing aerofoil cross-sections to manage airflow. Joints and transitions that are performance solutions. Sculpted chain stays for increased stiffness.
Intricately designed dropouts. Every surface, every contour and every angle of the frame are opportunities to create, control and refine aerodynamic performance. The Extended Kammtail design within the down tube reduces aerodynamic drag without sacrificing power transfer, so every ride is like slicing through the wind.
The iconic sleek lines and angular contours are easily recognised, even from a distance. Which makes plenty of sense, because the Alize will keep you miles ahead of the competition
Enter the Diablo, a lightweight that blows away the heavyweights.
As its name suggests, the Diablo is bad to the bone. This all-round racing and climbing bike is powerful, muscular, and ready to defy the laws of physics and cause plenty of trouble to the competition.
Its complex form is sculpted from C6.7 unidirectional carbon fibre – a unique combination of high-modulus materials developed exclusively for NeilPryde bikes.
At first glance, the frame is a vision of muscular superiority, incorporating the proprietary Exoskeleton technology – two continuous carbon fibre ribs integrated through each element of the monocoque front triangle. The result: a frame that corners like it's on rails! The same technology is utilised in strategic locations on the fork blades, chain and seat stays to increase lateral stiffness and ensure optimum responsiveness.
This unique engineering solution, developed through extensive Finite Element Analysis, means the Diablo is the perfect combination of form vs. function – Beauty vs. The Beast!
