Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories

Good to know
Design
The Super Fork uses wide-set blades for clean airflow between rim and fork, and a magnetic cover over the front brake with a redundant retention system.
SourceFit
Dimond's rim and disc Marquise dimension pages list the same stack, reach, angles and minimum saddle heights for sizes II to V.
SourceIntegration
The Lunch Box bento holds about 700 ml in the larger frames (550 ml in the smaller ones) and the TOTES box above the bottom bracket takes a flat kit and multitool.
SourceHistory
By November 2026 the Marquise Rim product page on Dimond's store no longer loads and the bike is gone from Dimond's triathlon-bike collection, which lists only the Mogul, Ikon and Marquise; the site menu still links the old page. Treated as no longer sold new; Dimond hasn't announced a replacement.
SourceVersions
The disc-brake Marquise ($7,499 frameset) replaced rim brakes in 2018 but Dimond still lists this rim version at $7,199 for the frameset.
