Quintana RooStudio NEXT Service Course Tri
The Studio NEXT version of Quintana Roo's drop-bar triathlon bike uses its highest-grade carbon and a more refined lay-up to take 150 g off the Service Course Tri frame, which Quintana Roo puts at 924 g in size M. Like the standard bike it is built around the Service Course aero road frameset with drop bars, so it can be raced in draft-legal triathlons and road races and fitted with clip-ons for non-drafting events. It comes with a paint-matched one-piece Vision Metron 5D cockpit, exclusive paint colours and Shimano Ultegra or Dura-Ace Di2 or SRAM Force or Red AXS builds.

Our verdict
No overall score: there's no complete-bike price to rate
The light, premium take on Quintana Roo's draft-legal bike: top-grade carbon, a 924 g frame and a one-piece Vision cockpit for racers who want the best drop-bar tri setup. You pay flagship money for a road-geometry bike with no integrated hydration or storage listed, and it isn't on the UCI approved list.

How the geometry rides

- Trail62 mm2.4″
shortestlonger than 53% of 15 bikeslongest
- Wheelbase983 mm38.7″

Short wheelbase: tends to feel more agile in corners and less planted on long straights.
- Front centre584 mm23″
shortestlonger than 17% of 30 bikeslongest
Short front centre: more weight on the front wheel, which can make the front feel lighter to steer.
- Chainstay411 mm16.2″

Long chainstays: adds stability and room for a rear wheel with wide tyres.
Good to know
Fit
The Studio NEXT geometry chart is identical to the standard Service Course Tri chart, so that geometry is shown here. Its rider-height chart differs (XS 165-168 cm, L 178-188 cm, plus an XL row for 185-196 cm with no XL geometry), so the standard bike's ranges are used.
SourceRacing
Quintana Roo's World Triathlon pro Blake Bullard races the Service Course Tri in draft-legal events.
SourceRacing
Quintana Roo calls the Service Course Tri frame UCI-legal and sells it for draft-legal racing, but the Service Course is not on the UCI's list of approved framesets (version 2026.10.02); the only Quintana Roo frames listed are the QRL and SR-Series road bikes.
SourceHistory
The Service Course frameset launched as an aero road bike in January 2025. Quintana Roo claimed it was at least 3.6 W faster than its predecessor, with 36 mm tire clearance, a T47A threaded bottom bracket and a UDH hanger, in sizes XS to L.
SourceVersions
Studio NEXT is Quintana Roo's highest grade of carbon. It saves 150 g on the Service Course Tri frame, which weighs 924 g in size M, and comes with exclusive paint colours and a one-piece cockpit painted to match.
SourceVersions
The Service Course Tri uses the same frameset as Quintana Roo's Service Course aero road bike, with triathlon-specific saddles, gearing and a clip-on compatible cockpit. The road version's cockpits are not set up for clip-ons.
