Quintana Roo
As a tri athlete, you know that in order to succeed, to perform beyond your competitors ability, to shatter mental and physical barriers, you need access to the most advanced equipment. As a swimmer you should demand the best possible wetsuit. Quintana Roo wetsuits are handcrafted in the U.S.A. with the most technically advanced materials and designs. Additionally, our wetsuits come in more sizes than any other brand on the market, all of this to propel you through the swim leg faster.

As a cyclist, you know that the characteristics and quality of your bike can make a tremendous difference in ride quality and speed. We create bikes with wind mocking aerodynamics, state of the art components, triathlon specific geometry and a dedication perfection-driven tri athletes can truly appreciate.

Through the years, Quintana Roo has continued to expand and evolve with the sport of triathlon. Behind all of our innovations, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and engineering you will find only one single mission: to make you a winning tri athlete in the water, on the bike and through the run. Whatever your level, whatever your goal... youšll go faster with Quintana Roo.

Wetsuits
At Quintana Roo, our history with triathlon runs deep. Our founder, Dan Empfield, competed in the very first Ironman held on Kona in 1981, and in 1987 went on to create the world's very first wetsuits made especially for tri athletes Quintana Roo's dedication to providing the sport with the highest quality triathlon specific equipment continues into the present with our high performance line of QR wetsuits manufactured here in the United States.

Today we use only the most advanced materials and manufacturing techniques available to painstakingly hand craft our complete line of wetsuits. Neoprenes such as SCS Nanoskin, SCS Sharkskin and Hyperflex rubber are just a few of the patented material technologies utilized throughout the 2006 wetsuit line. In 2005 Quintana Roo went back to the drawing board and re-engineered every pattern on every suit to further improve on the anatomic fit and hydrophobic quality of all our wetsuits. Through our athlete feedback and rigourous re-design process we are totally confident in the performance and quality of each wetsuit made available to you. Once the goal of optimum speed, warmth and comfort was achieved, it became essential to make sure that you are able to get out of our suits as quickly as possible. That's why we proudly boast that each wetsuit style, from Superfull to Quickjohn, comes with breakaway zippers and our easy exit ankle cut. The result of all this innovation: well, it kind of speaks for itself. Our wetsuits have won more Ironman events worldwide than any other triathlon wetsuit on the market today.

Bikes
Like our athletes, we still haven't answered exactly how far, how fast or how long we can push ourselves. That's why we spend each and every day pushing the limits of materials, design and weight of each bike frame. Quintana Roo bicycles are created specifically for triathlons, so it is only appropriate that Quintana Roo bikes are designed, built and most importantly tested by seasoned tri athletes Tri-specific bikes have unique features as compared to a standard road racing bicycle. Simply bolting on a few triathlon components to a road bike will severely limit one's performance. That is why we design bikes with a precise geometry that places riders in a more aerodynamic position by allowing less exposed chest area and a flatter back. This geometry also creates a more efficient pedaling position to help preserve legs for the running leg of the race.

When we begin designing a bike, our engineers are given a blank canvas on which to create. They are not confined by material selection or preconceived notions of what the perfect bike should be. The result: masterpieces like the amazing Ti-Phoon are transformed into reality. In the process of creating the optimum triathlon ride, our designers also give great consideration to developing bikes that are able to take full advantage of the latest tri-specific components such as aero bars, forks, and wheels. Through the intelligent use of tube shapes and materials, all of out frames are designed to have enhanced aerodynamic properties and a comfortable ride, because we understand that a harsh ride amplifies fatigue. Quintana Roo bicycles create perfect harmony between frame, component and tri athlete Since our first tri-specific bike was created in 1989, there have been 28 Ironman titles, numerous world and national championships and endless regional and local victories achieved on Quintana Roo bikes. The result of our evolution and winning achievements is the most trusted line of triathlon specific bikes on the course.
