The Podio is our rocketship of the roadway,
our crit killer, and our asphalt thriller…all
rolled into one.
Crafted of custom-drawn scandium alloy tubing
and paired with a full carbon Alpha Q GS10
fork, the frameset is all about going someplace
fast without beating the tar out of your body.
Light is always right when it comes to making a fast
road-racing machine and the Podio is no exception. The
frame weighs a mere 2.1 lbs (49cm size). We’ve
done more than just make another featherweight
frame however.
The ovalized downtube creates a large junction
with the bottom bracket enhancing drivetrain
stiffness. Further stiffness is achieved through
the use of our specially shaped, scandium alloy
chainstays and seatstays. By flattening the
stays, lateral rigidity is maximized and the
rear triangle efficiently transfers the rider’s
power to the drivetrain.
Just as importantly, the stays also improve
frame comfort and ride quality. Their flattened
shapes provide slight vertical compliance,
thereby absorbing some road shock and
decreasing physical stress.
The final results of all this engineering
are efficiency and speed, but not at the
expense of comfort.
Put the hammer down for mile upon mile.
Take a flier and see if it sticks. Make your
goal the top step.
Podio. Comfortably efficient. Efficiently comfortable.
