Pride
Energy saving in perfection. The PRIDE is currently breaking all wind tunnel records, boasts minimal air resistance and makes highly efficient use of the sail effect for maximum propulsion. This benefits not only pros at top speed but also long-distance riders at medium speed. The custom designed cockpit is available in many variants and can be individually adapted in our Individual-System.
The ultimate racing machine
Listen up, road cyclists! Do you want to declare war on air resistance and ride faster than ever? The carbon frame and all add-on parts of the PRIDE were optimised based on air-flow simulations and extensive wind tunnel tests. The result: an aero racer unlike any other. According to our database, there is currently no faster UCI-compliant road bike on the market. RennRad magazine confirms this statement in its 9/2021 issue: "No road bike we have tested so far has ever achieved better aerodynamics than the new, extensively revised SIMPLON PRIDE". This makes it the first choice for ambitious riders and professional road cyclists.
THE STORY OF THE FASTEST ROAD RACING BIKE IN THE WORLD
"We want to develop the fastest road racing bike in the world!" That was the clear goal of our road bike developers. And the result is impressive: with the PRIDE, we have found the optimum compromise between aerodynamics and the weight of the road bike while also fulfilling all the rules of the new UCI guidelines. But how is this possible?
From the very beginning, the specifications of the UCI played an important role and were taken into account during the design process. With the help of aerodynamics specialists, we first went into the virtual wind tunnel and then into the real one. The special shape of the PRIDE tube and the effect of the side winds confirmed the so-called sail effect. But what does that actually mean? And how did the reality check turn out?

*STR: The higher the number, the more upright is the seating postion.
**S-REAL, R-REAL, STR-REAL
These stack and reach values are the real measured values of the frame. Due to the special stem geometry and the stem design of the PRIDE ll compared to road bikes with conventional stems, these values are not comparable with mentioned road bikes.
**S-VIRTUAL, R-VIRTUAL, STR-VIRTUAL
These stack and reach values are calculated values, which allow a comparability to road bikes with conventional stems. These take into account the special stem geometry and design compared to the geometry of conventional road bike stems and headset caps.
Due to the integrated seatpost clamping without the otherwise usual "seat tube stub", the dimension "A" is shorter than the corresponding frame height.
On the KIARO DISC, KIARO PMAX and PRIDE ll models, the top tube is sloping, which results in a difference between the frame size and the "A" dimension.

SIMPLON's innovative technologies make the PRIDE a first-class aero racer. The two-arm carbon stem unit was aerodynamically optimised and beautifully integrated into the frame. All lines and cables are routed internally through the frame, which ensures the lowest possible air resistance. Hurray for the Advanced Cockpit!
The Kamm Tail Design is an unusual tube profile with a shortened flow tail. How does the SIMPLON PRIDE benefit from this? The construction of the frame and components as well as the streamlined airfoil design provide increased lateral stiffness and a significant reduction in drag.
Ultimate power transfer and propulsion thanks to Maximum Power Transfer technology:
The tube cross-sections of the chainstays as well as the carbon structure in the area of the bottom bracket are designed for maximum stiffness.
