Review Diamondback Podium 7 SL Bike Frameset

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AMMP + ORC = Light, Strong and Responsive The Diamondback Podium 7 is our top of the line carbon competition road racing machine. When we first set out planning this project we all agreed that the goal was to create the ultimate road frame. From the aggressive carbon shapes to the latest internal cable housing design, we made this product with no expenses spared. Some of the highlighted features include its sub 900 gram frame to the newly designed tapered Continuous Fiber Technology full carbon fork with integrated carbon crown race. The Podium will surely continue its legacy of winning races at the highest levels of the sport. The process began with many discussions on how to make a carbon road bike more user and performance friendly not just for the top racers of the world but also the weekend road warriors that ride thousands of miles a year. At the same time we strive to maintain the ride quality that is a trademark of Diamondback Podium bikes. We looked at the handling, feel, weight, geometry of each frame and each size so we can make sure every product has our signature Diamondback feel. We then do conceptual sketches, 3D Modeling, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and then refine it some more before we even make the first steel mold. We set clear and concise goals to make the Podium a world-class frame and we strive to make an already incredible product better. That is the Diamondback Design Philosophy.
