Pride
The aero road bike built for maximum speed. Minimal drag and the sail effect help maximise forward momentum. This benefits professionals at high speeds as well as long-distance riders at moderate speeds. The cockpit can also be individually adjusted and is available in a range of configurations.
CORE SELECTION: quick availability, short waiting times, start riding immediately
The CORE Line offers pre-configured focus models at fixed prices, put together by developers, experts, and athletes.
The ultimate racing machine
Want to feel the speed and turn every watt into forward momentum? The PRIDE combines aerodynamic efficiency with low weight and comes into its own as the pace increases. The carbon frame and components were optimised using flow simulations and extensive wind tunnel testing. The result is an aero road bike for ambitious road cyclists who enjoy pushing the pace on long rides just as much as in races.
The RSC Kempten Elite Team also demonstrates on its American tour just how much aero performance the PRIDE has to offer. In their 90-minute documentary, you can experience why this bike sets the benchmark.
The story behind the PRIDE
“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 speaks for itself: the PRIDE combines aerodynamics with low weight while meeting UCI regulations.
From the outset, the requirements of the international cycling governing body, the UCI, played an important role and were taken into account from the design stage. Working with aerodynamics specialists, the bike was first tested in a virtual wind tunnel and then in a real one. This showed the influence of the bike’s specific tube shape and crosswinds on the sailing effect.
But how does this effect actually work? And what does the reality check on the road look like? Discover the full story behind the development of the PRIDE in our magazine article.

**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", be PRIDE ll the dimension "A" is shorter than the corresponding frame height.

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.
