Enter the Diablo, a lightweight that blows away the heavyweights.

As its name suggests, the Diablo is bad to the bone. This all-round racing and climbing bike is powerful, muscular, and ready to defy the laws of physics and cause plenty of trouble to the competition.

Its complex form is sculpted from C6.7 unidirectional carbon fibre – a unique combination of high-modulus materials developed exclusively for NeilPryde bikes.

At first glance, the frame is a vision of muscular superiority, incorporating the proprietary Exoskeleton technology – two continuous carbon fibre ribs integrated through each element of the monocoque front triangle. The result:
a frame that corners like it's on rails! The same technology is utilised in strategic locations on the fork blades, chain and seat stays to increase lateral stiffness and ensure optimum responsiveness.

This unique engineering solution, developed through extensive Finite Element Analysis, means the Diablo is the perfect combination of form vs. function – Beauty vs. The Beast!

Test Reports

"The stealth looks and stealth hill-bombing ability make the Diablo the fast rider’s choice… NeilPryde has made an admirable debut with handling that any bike designer would be proud of."

"The Diablo ticks all the boxes. Its performance is of the highest level, on a par with established rivals. It’s got the looks, it’s good value for money with a cracking build that is ready to race straight from the box."

"J'ai adoré ce vélo sans concession. Le Diablo est fait pour "taper dedans" quel que soit le terrain, même s'il a des prédispositions pour les grimpées. On ne le sent jamais faiblir !"

"You want stiff, you want fast and you want it in a very handsome package. Intervals and sprint workouts are a big part of your program and you want a bike that makes the most of your effort."

"An impressive and dedicated launch in to pastures new from NeilPryde. The Diablo is a stiff and aggressive chassis with a all star cast of components, combined in a good value package. This is not redefining the limits of performance but definitely an impressive launch and no sign of the brand's infancy in the industry."

"This isn't just a side project or a bit of fun for NeilPryde – they're completely committed to establishing themselves on land as they have done on the water. This bike is a great start. Usually it takes some time before new products conquer the market but the Diablo looks set to make a remarkable impact." (Procycling UK)

"Vor allem designorientierten Rennradfahrern wird die Formgebung gefallen, und in Sachen Fahreigenschaften ist das Diablo eine Top-Rennmaschine. NeilPryde schafft es, die Erfahrungen aus dem Surfsport effektiv zu nutzen – für einen Prototypen, der als Nr. 2 vom Band lief, lässt das Rad kaum Wünsche offen." (Procycling Deutschland)

"Die Fahreigenschaften liegen alle weit im grünen Bereich, die Steifigkeit und der Komfort kommen nicht zu kurz. Kurzum, das Rad ist auf Vortrieb getrimmt, ohne dabei unangenehm zu wirken."
