Quintana Roo Lucero.
When the Lucero was unveiled four years ago it was one of the
most advanced triathlon bikes from any manufacturer. The new
2008 Quintana Roo Lucero continues that legacy with improved
component spec and a hand made, carbon fiber aerodynamic frameset
using the most advance ultra-high modulus carbon fiber for stiffness,
durability and ride comfort.
The Lucero is the flagship of the Quintana Roo
carbon fiber, aerodynamic fleet. The 2008 Lucero features fully
internal cable routing for superior aerodynamics and mechanical
dependability. The rear facing dropouts use dependable adjusting
screws and the seatpost binder bolt is a dual-redundant design
for additional security. This bike is fast and dependable.
Several features differentiate the Lucero from
other “cookie cutter” carbon tri bikes: The unique
airfoil shaped nose cone is a proven aero advantage. The seat
tube extension provides low center of gravity and stack with
plenty of stand-over for easy climbing even on steep, out-of-the-saddle
efforts. Quintana Roo is the only company using their unique,
proprietary airfoil shaped, carbon fiber wishbone seat stays
that enhance aerodynamics while improving ride comfort. Add
to these frame features the dependability of traditional brake
mounting and convenience features like two water bottle mounts
(on most frame sizes) and you have a well conceived, functional
design from the company that invented the triathlon bike.
The Lucero has Quintana Roo’s innovative
frame geometry designed for aerobars and the bike-to-run transition.
This is the company that invented the triathlon bike back in
1987 and has more experience building and designing triathlon
geometry than anyone else. With a low head tube on each frame
size and a steep seat tube this geometry will optimize performances
at all distances.
The stock parts kit from Q.R. is a well thought
out component group that puts money where it needs to be. With
a Shimano Dura-Ace ten speed rear derailleur and shifters combined
with an Ultegra front derailleur and FSA SLK Carbon fiber crank
the bike ready to race. This component package includes the
Zipp designed Flashpoint 58 mm deep race wheel for added value.
This is a true deep section, aerodynamic race wheel that has
everyday durability. We are particularly impressed by the tire
choice on the Flashpoints: QR chose the Continental Attack/Force
tire combination with specific front/rear design tires that
optimize durability with an extra ply in the rear tire while
maintaining traction and aerodynamics by making the front tire
slightly narrower than the rear.
The cockpit on the Lucero is our favorite, the
Visiontech ski bend aero extension with wing shaped, aerodynamic
Visiontech base bars and the Cane Creek 200TT aero brake lever
that uses a return spring for better brake lever response.
Even the saddle on the Lucero is up-speced by
Quintana Roo to the new Fizik Arione Tri 2 triathlon specific
30 cm long saddle.
The Lucero is a race proven design used by top
professional triathletes around the world. It is one of few
true race machines in the world ridden by the top pros that
you can actually own and race yourself.
