Bicycling Magazine recently stated the new Diablo S is the "best bike you have never heard of" , and they are right!

In fact, there may not be anything else like the S, which combines raw power, precise neutral handling, unmatched smoothness, light weight, a custom fit and parts selection, and still provides amazing value too! The new S features huge high, powerful high modulus carbon tubes, for unmitigated brute power.

Though a few other bikes use this strategy, what sets the Diablo a notch above is Sampson's exclusive SAS vibration and noise control.
Bicycling loved the Diablo S, and raved over the handling calling it "near perfect" as the bike is very easy to ride fast! Part of the reason is the Diablo features the new Sampson full carbon fork. The new Sampson fork is very firm laterally for top handling.

With a Diablo S, you don't have to make the choice between power and comfort-you get the best of both! Though it is amazingly powerful and uses a lot of alloy for durability in key zones, the Diablo S shown is just over 14 pounds with pedals with the Stratics SL group, and a Sram Red equipped S would be right about 14 pounds!
