| Features | Continuous Fiber – Diamondback’s Continuous Fiber Technology uses full-length carbon strands to manufacture the fork that extend from the top of the steer tube to the bottom of the drop outs. Using that same AMMP technology employed in the Podium frame, we’ve created one of the stiffest forks available. With a lower integrated crown race that’s completely carbon, we’ve eliminated the need for a separate aluminum race. This makes the overall system lighter, stronger and more responsive.
Tapered Head Tube – 1.5 Tapered head tube provides front end torsional stiffness for precise steering and control.
Compliant Stays – Seat tube and seat stays are designed to work together to produce an optimally compliant ride.
Pressfit 30 –An oversized BB shell coupled with a larger down tube and chain stays provides increased rigidity for out-of-the saddle-sprinting, maximum acceleration, and optimal efficiency.
Closed Circuit Cabling – Closed Circuit Cable routing provides a clean, uncluttered, and sleek finish to the frame.
Carbon Replaceable Front Derailleur Hanger – lightweight and easy to mount in the correct position… every time.
All of this is compiled to create the DBR Monocoque Competition Road Frame featuring AMMP Carbon Technology, internal cable routing, carbon drop outs, with a tapered headtube, and Press-Fit 30 BB. The frame is Di2 Compatible. Along with this comes the partner in crime: a DBR AMMP Carbon Competition Road Fork, with carbon drop outs, a tapered carbon steerer tube, and our proprietary CFT Continuous Fiber Technology.
The spec is a top notch parts kit to lust over. We kitted this Podium 6 out with Campy Chorus 11-Speed package including; cranks, derailleurs, cassette, brakes, chain, and Campagnolo Ultra-Shift Shifters/Brake Levers.
A Campagnolo Shamal Ultra 2-Way Fit wheelset (16f, 21r) will keep the road flying under you. Combined with Michelin Pro 3 tires, the result is an extremely aerodynamic wheel in a tough as nails package.
The cockpit comes in with style featuring an Easton EC70 bar, DB 7050 Aluminum forged stem and a DB ODC (optimal density carbon) post and we finish this bad boy off with a DBR Competition Road with NiCro Rails
The Podium 6 comes in: 50cm, 52cm, 54cm, 56cm, 58cm, and 60cm
The Podium 6 Carbon Monocoque Competition Road bike is a bike that can ride with the best of them. It shares the same geometry as the Podium 7 AMMP SL frame. These are not only light, stiff and strong, but easy to steer and comfortable over the course of a long ride as well.
Tech Terms
AMMP The Diamondback Podium is handmade using our Advanced Monocoque Molding Process (AMMP). AMMP ensures that each piece of carbon ply is laid precisely where our engineers want it. These carbon plies are hand-wrapped around a polystyrene pre-form core, using a plastic bladder in the shape of the product. To achieve a precise mold during this layup process, we surround the emerging product with a plastic cavity, which guarantees a perfect fit. Silicone mandrel shells are then used to reinforce critical joint areas so as to create smoother overlapping fibers at these vital junctions—such as the head tube and the bottom bracket. Each silicone shell is joined together prior to placing the product in the steel mold. In this final mold, we use a proprietary coating for optimal fiber adhesion.
ORC Our signature Optimized Resin Compound is used to bind the carbon fibers together with precision alignment during the heating process. Using too much resin makes a frame feel heavy and sluggish. Too little resin can result in fiber separation and frame failure. Optimizing our resin-to-fiber ratio allows us to enhance our ratio of material weight-to-strength. The result is an exceptionally impact-resistant frame.
CC Technology Our Clean Core Technology ensures a clean inner core devoid of rough edges or excess material. When the product mold goes into the heat press, the air bladders are pressurized within the polystyrene pre-form core. This fills out the interior crevices and forces the fibers to conform to the shape. The heat softens the carbon plies making them malleable to the mold, and the excess resin is forced out. This makes for a product with light and consistent weight throughout, and produces a smooth surface—inside as well as out. Many companies will actually have a cosmetic surface weave to mask the terrible interior of their products but Diamondback is perfectly confident showing the Podium to the world.
CFT Diamondback’s Continuous Fiber Technology uses full-length carbon strands extending from the top of the steer tube to the bottom of the drop outs.
