STUDIO NEXT V-PRi: MEET OUR ULTIMATE TRIATHLON RACE BIKE
The V-PRi is already the fastest triathlon bike in the world, but the Studio NEXT V-PRi takes this proven platform and elevates it to its absolute pinnacle. This is the same bike that our top pros use to win championships, set course records, and stand on the biggest podiums in the sport. But they aren’t the only ones who deserve to ride something special. We designed the Studio NEXT V-PRi to be the ultimate weapon for middle and long-course events, and with Studio NEXT, every athlete has an opportunity to get the pro treatment.
What is Studio NEXT?
Studio NEXT is essentially Quintana Roo's skunkworks division. It’s a program built around one simple mandate: spare no expense to achieve the best. As a result, Studio NEXT bikes are engineered and equipped to compete at the highest level of triathlon, where every second and every watt matters. The first Studio NEXT bike was actually our drop-bar Service Course, and it has since been followed by the drop-bar Service Route, and now, finally, the V-PRi.
You’ll be able to spot a Studio NEXT V-PRi in transition thanks to the tasteful Studio NEXT logo painted on the fork leg, as well as the one-of-a-kind paint schemes, the color-matched painted basebars, and the painted logos. Everything about a Studio NEXT bike signals that it is something special.
Exclusive Studio NEXT V-PRi Paint Schemes
The paint schemes and colors used on Studio NEXT bikes were originally developed exclusively for our pro athletes. They use the same high-end automotive paints used by legendary brands like Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini, and the colors available were all chosen for their depth, brilliance, and durability under race conditions.
For the ultimate aesthetic statement, every Studio NEXT bike gets a fully color-matched basebar and cockpit, an extra flare that few brands will take the time to add. Also, the logos on the frame aren't just decals under clearcoat. Instead, they're masked and painted directly onto the frame, a painstaking process that adds hours to each build. This level of attention is reserved only for these special bikes, and the result is a high-end finish that turns heads the moment you roll into transition.
The Best Race-Proven Components
Studio NEXT bikes get only the best components. These are components that are chosen by the best athletes and have been proven in competition, including top-end Shimano and SRAM groupsets with integrated power meters and best-in-class aero carbon wheels from DT Swiss, HED, and Zipp.
Studio NEXT optimization goes even further, however, with an included upgrade no other brand offers: a full suite of CeramicSpeed upgrades. The Studio NEXT V-PRi comes with a CeramicSpeed OSPW (Oversized Pulley Wheel System) for the rear derailleur, a CeramicSpeed bottom bracket, and a CeramicSpeed wheel bearing kit. These friction-reducing and watt-saving details provide the marginal gains that our top athletes need to chase podium results. Just like our pros, you get them installed from the factory.
Rounding out the build is a cockpit designed to complement the world-beating aerodynamics. Every Studio NEXT V-PRi comes with QR's top-of-the-line Intelligent Integration Carbon (IIC) basebar, which is designed for aerodynamic optimization with the V-PRi frame while providing full fit adjustability with its sleek mono-riser design. It’s paired with the fastest carbon extensions available from Profile Design, Vision, or Fast TT. Every component choice we offer on the Studio NEXT V-PRi is made with one thing in mind: making you faster.

Some of the fastest long-course athletes on the planet are racing on Studio NEXT V-PRi bikes right now.
Kristian Høgenhaug is one of the most consistent long-distance racers in the world. The Dane is a 2021 World Triathlon Long Distance Champion, a three-time top-three finisher in the IRONMAN Pro Series rankings, and the current holder of the IRONMAN bike course record (3:52:10 at IRONMAN Frankfurt 2025). In 2025 alone, he dominated The Championship in Šamorín and finished runner-up at the IRONMAN European Championships in Frankfurt. He rides a super-optimized Studio NEXT V-PRi with a custom Speedcoat.
Matt Hanson is one of America's most decorated triathletes with four North American Championship titles to his name. A former exercise science professor with a doctorate, Hanson was a key contributor to the development and testing of the V-PRi itself and was one of the first to race on the Studio NEXT V-PRi. In 2025, he set the marathon course record at Challenge Roth with a blistering 2:28:03 and led the IRONMAN Pro Series standings for much of the 2024 season.
Marta Sánchez is one of the sport's most exciting rising stars. The Spanish powerhouse won IRONMAN South Africa, IRONMAN Barcelona, and IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia in 2024, and followed that up with multiple podiums in 2025, including a third-place finish at IRONMAN Texas that made her the fastest Spanish woman in IRONMAN history. Her giraffe-themed Studio NEXT V-PRi is one of the most recognizable paint jobs in the pro peloton.
Grace Thek is a study in toughness and consistency. The Australian has racked up over 23 podium finishes across IRONMAN 70.3 and Challenge Family events since turning pro in 2018. In 2025, she made a stunning full-distance debut at Challenge Roth, one of the grandest stages in triathlon, and finished runner-up. She's now setting her sights on a return to Challenge Roth and the World Championships in Kona on her new X-Small Studio NEXT V-PRi.
