Developed as part of a collaboration between Kevin Quan Studios and the [University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/te1), the Diamondback Andean is claimed to be the world's fastest triathlon bike. It features an oversize [carbon fiber frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-frame) that is designed to reduce drag and increase speed, whilst also keeping turbulence down so that the rider can focus on overcoming their opponents rather than the wind. The bike also features a number of functional compartments that can be used to carry hydration bottles, gel packets and energy bars. With its ultra-lightweight frame and functional design, it's clear that the Diamondback Andean is a triathlon bike that offers value for anyone looking for a competitive advantage out on the track. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Turbulence-reducing Bikes:** Designing bikes with features that reduce turbulence and increase speed. - **Carbon Fiber Frames:** Developing bikes with oversized carbon fiber frames to improve performance and reduce drag. - **Functional Compartments:** Creating bikes with compartments to carry essential items like hydration bottles and energy bars. ### Where This Applies - **Triathlon Equipment:** Opportunities for developing innovative triathlon equipment with advanced features for competitive advantage. - **Aerospace Engineering:** Applying aerospace engineering principles to develop bikes that are more aerodynamic and efficient. - **Sports Nutrition:** Designing nutritional products and accessories tailored for athletes participating in triathlons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Lightweight Road Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-cfr-di2.md) - [Hyper-Fast Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightning-motorcycles-tachyon-nb.md) - [Aerodynamic Carbon Road Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannondale-supersix-evo-lab71.md) - [Ultra-Stiffened Road Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-road-bike.md) - [Ultra-Fast Alloy Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allez-sprint.md) - [Featherweight Folding Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-folding-bicycle.md) - [Carbon Fiber Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-mountain-bike.md) - [Fully-Equiped Aero Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oltre.md) - [High-End Touring Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-titanium-touring-bicycle.md)
