Carbon Clearance Sale - 2014 QUINTANA ROO KILO CARBON RIVAL

Time to get back to posting some information on the great deals we have going on with the Tom's Carbon Clearance Sale and today we are highlighting the 2014 Quintana Roo Kilo Rival:

The carbon version of a long-time favorite in the QR line, the Kilo is decked out with SRAM Rival components and Shimano wheels. A leader in entry-level carbon bikes, it boasts many more aerodynamic and componentry features than its competitors.

The Quintana Roo Kilo is proof that you can’t keep a good bike down. The 2014 Kilo returns with an aerodynamic frame and taller head tube. We believe better fit and increased comfort will translate into faster and happier riders. The frame is made of beautifully woven 12K carbon. Setting a whole new standard for entry level triathlon bikes, F.I.S.T. technology, carbon aero fork and seat post mean this is a serious entry-level triathlon bike.

Features

• Wind tunnel designed seatstays
• SRAM Rival drivetrain
• FSA Omega crankset
• Shimano R-500 wheelset
• Taller headtube for better fit

MSRP was $1,900 and it is on sale for $1,699.  Stop by today from 10-6 to check it out and take one for a test ride.  A nice upgrade for late season Triathlons and to train all winter on for next season!

Triathlon/TT Thursday (Switched Days on You) - UPGRADED FELT IA & DA

I made an error in thinking that today was going to be a Triathlon/TT day and did some research and came across the news of an update to Felt's IA & DA bike line so I just rolled with it since Tuesday's post was about our upcoming Service Clinic (which was very well attended if you look at our pictures on Facebook).

IA Trickles Down:

Last year, Felt introduced its top-end, brand new IA bike. The bike came in only one version, designated FRD, for a cool $14,000. This year, Felt is releasing no fewer than three new builds, which use lower-grade carbon, but feature all of the same integration and features as the original. These are styled the IA2 ($10k, Di2 and Novatec carbon clinchers), IA3 ($7k, SRAM RED 22 and carbon clinchers), and IA4 ($5,500, Shimano Ultegra and alloy clinchers). Finally, the frame that makes up those less-expensive builds will also be available separately, and is called the IA1 ($4,500).

Updates to DA and B-series

The DA is getting the top-end TeXtreme carbon.

As usual, Felt hasn't rested on its laurels with regard to its existing bikes. The DA was updated in 2013 with the new Bayonet 4 fork (which contains the same integrated brake as the IA), and incremental updates continue this year on several fronts. First, the DA line has been stripped down to just one model. It's called the DA1, and at $4,999, it's a very compelling entry in the lineup. It's UCI legal, keeps the very slick Devox carbon aerobar and Bayonet 4 fork from last year, and gains two more things. The first is the TeXtreme fabric also seen on the IA FRD, designed to improve or maintain stiffness, while simultaneously dropping weight. Second, and this is a change affecting all of Felt's tri bikes for 2015 (except the lowest-end B14 and S32), Felt has adopted a new vibration-reducing technology is its seatposts made and patented by 3T. The posts basically have an elastomeric material between the clamping hardware and the circular cavity in the seatpost that accepts that hardware. The idea is that this material helps to isolate vibrations from one to the other, basically insulating your bum from some road chatter. Again, the new seatposts will be stock going forward on all IA models, the DA1, and all B-series models except the lowest-end B14.
For more information on the Felt Triathlon line, accessories, or clothing stop by the shop.  We are open from 10-8 today.

Triathlon/TT Tuesday - DEMO DAYS FELT DA2

Welcome to Demo Days Week at Tom's Pro Bike. Saturday is the big day and all this week I am going to be selecting Top End bikes to highlight just to give you a reason to come in and try one out Saturday!



With Triathlon season right around the corner I figure some of you might be interested in a new race bike so today we are highlighting the Felt DA2:

Years of research, engineering and wind-tunnel development went into the DA2, and the results are obvious. The DA is the weapon of choice for time trialists like Kristin Armstrong and Patrick Gretsch as well as triathletes like Terenzo Bozzone and Andi Bocherer. With Felt Dual Aero TT / Tri UHC Advanced carbon—shaped through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics engineering and real-world testing—it’s 14% more aerodynamic and 13% stiffer than the previous-generation DA. The DA2 features the all-new Bayonet 4 steering system with integrated front brake and is optimized for Shimano Di2 11-speed electronic shifting, internal cable routing and an integrated battery mount. When every second counts, go with the DA2.

MSRP is $7,999.00 and this bike is ready to race this season and many more to follow.  With Triathlon/TT Bikes it is best to set up a fit first to ensure the bike's geometry will work with your body so give us a call at Tom's to get the ball rolling followed quickly by these new wheels!

A great way to test the your new Mountain Bike out and to start off the Mountain Bike season is to race. Single Track Racing is hosting a 6 race series at Sprague Brook starting May 20, 2014. Check out their Facebook Page for more information or Register Here.
