DimondMarquise
Dimond's disc-brake version of its beam-frame Marquise, a custom-painted carbon triathlon bike with no seat tube. It has two built-in storage compartments: the large 'Lunch Box' bento in the beam behind the stem and the 'TOTES' flat-kit box above the bottom bracket. It runs 12 mm thru-axles and flat-mount brakes, and is sold direct from Des Moines, Iowa as a frameset or in Race and Premium builds.

Our verdict
No overall score: there's no complete-bike price to rate
A distinctive custom-painted beam bike for triathletes who value built-in storage, with an unusually large bento and a flat-kit box inside the frame. You trade away published aero data, in-frame hydration and a light frame, and you buy direct with fixed seat angles across four sizes.

Good to know
Design
The disc version keeps the rim-brake Marquise's storage and aero shaping, and adds 12 mm thru-axles and flat-mount calipers placed with aerodynamics in mind.
SourceIntegration
The Lunch Box bento holds about 700 ml in medium and large frames (550 ml in smaller ones), which Dimond says is almost three times the size of most storage systems, and enough for around 13 gels.
SourceIntegration
The TOTES compartment above the bottom bracket is sized for a tube, two tyre levers, two CO2 cartridges, an inflator head and a small multitool.
SourceCompatibility
The frame takes Shimano Di2 or SRAM eTap electronic groups, and mechanical groups only in a 1x setup.
SourceHistory
Dimond revealed the disc Marquise at the 2018 Ironman World Championship in Kona and opened pre-orders in October 2018, with framesets shipping in January 2019. It was Dimond's first disc-brake model and took more than a year to develop.
SourceVersions
A rim-brake Marquise is still sold alongside it: $7,199 for the frameset, $10,999 for the Race build and $14,199 for the Premium build.
SourceVersions
In Dimond's late-2024 line-up the Marquise ($7,499) sits below the Mogul ($10,000 frame) and Ikon ($8,499), and above the Trilliant and Carbonado.
