Quintana RooStudio NEXT Service Course

The Studio NEXT version of Quintana Roo's Service Course aero road bike uses the brand's highest-grade carbon and a more refined lay-up, which it says takes 150 g off the frame for a claimed 924 g in size M. The shape, 36 mm tyre clearance, T47A bottom bracket and UDH are unchanged. Studio NEXT bikes come only with one-piece, paint-matched ENVE or Vision cockpits, a power meter on every kit and exclusive paint options, and are built to order like the standard bike.

Our verdict

No overall score: there's no complete-bike price to rate

The light, premium take on the Service Course: a claimed 924 g frame, paint-matched one-piece cockpits, a power meter on every kit and the same generous 36 mm tyre clearance. It's still built to order with no fixed price, comes in only four sizes and backs its aero claim only against Quintana Roo's own SRsix.

Good to know

  • Racing

    As with the standard Service Course, Quintana Roo calls the frame UCI-legal, but it wasn't on the UCI list of approved framesets checked in October 2026.

  • Versions

    Quintana Roo offers four kits on the Studio NEXT Service Course (SRAM Force and Red AXS E1, Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace Di2), each with a power meter: SRAM's own on the SRAM kits, a 4iiii Precision 3+ left-arm unit on Ultegra and a dual-sided 4iiii on Dura-Ace.
