In the 1990’s our Kalispell was one of the great titanium bikes, and this was followed by the titanium Silverton in 2001, which was even faster and prettier! Now that carbon rules the roost, the Diablo is the new king in the “all-round” category!

If you happen to have one of those long stages on bad roads, if you are on a Diablo you’ll barely notice! To be a great all rounder, the bike also has to get you up the mountain with ease, and come down without a hint of hesitation. Check, and check! And while it certainly isn’t required, getting a world class performance bike at a modest price certainly doesn’t hurt to make a bike legendary!
The tough critics at Cyclingnews.com raced a mid-level Diablo for months last year, and came away duly impressed with the Diablo’s great feel and performance.

The Diablo has also been raced hard (read crashed a lot) under some powerful Cat. 1 guys, and the Diablo continue to impress everyone with its toughness! We know the Diablo is fast, but to be a great all-round bike you need smoothness too.

With our SAS to eliminate noise and vibration, the Diablo is silky smooth.
