At first glance, the partnership between Quintana Roo and 4iiii might seem like another footnote in the endless pursuit of marginal gains.
But when a brand steeped in the art of speed—Quintana Roo—joins forces with a data-obsessed power meter pioneer like 4iiii, you’d better believe it’s worth more than a passing glance.
This is no sideshow at some bustling bike expo or a whiff of carbon fibre in the air—it’s a clear statement that tradition still matters, even in the data age.
A Legacy of Fast Frames and Data Dreams
Quintana Roo has been pushing the boundaries of aerodynamics since the days when triathletes looked more like tinkerers than podium finishers.
This is a brand that’s never been shy about taking risks or ripping up the old blueprints, and the V-PR and X-PR triathlon bikes are a testament to that—blades on wheels built to slip through the air like a sword in water.
4iiii, on the other hand, has made a name for itself by turning the abstract world of watts into hard, cold numbers. The PRECISION 3+ and PRECISION 3+ PRO are not mere upgrades—they’re the measuring sticks by which the data-obsessed can stake their claim to progress.
If you’re the kind of rider who can tell the difference between a 5-watt fluctuation and a flat tire, these meters are your new best friend.
Tech Details: Beyond the Buzzwords
Let’s break it down. The PRECISION 3+—single-sided, reliable as your granny’s old clock—boasts up to 800 hours of battery life.
That’s more than enough to see you through every training ride, Sunday spin, and mid-week sufferfest for the better part of a season.
If you’re the kind of rider who wants to know exactly what each leg is doing, the dual-sided PRO digs deeper, offering 550 hours of insight that will probably expose every watt you didn’t even know you had. Apple Find My integration sweetens the deal for the absent-minded among us.
“We’re excited to partner with 4iiii to offer our customers the option to outfit their Quintana Roo bikes with industry-leading power meters,” says Chris Pascarella, Quintana Roo President, with the sort of earnest pride you’d expect from a brand that’s spent decades on the cutting edge of speed.
“4iiii power meters are known for their accuracy, reliability, and ease of use – making them a perfect match for the performance-driven athletes who ride Quintana Roo bikes. This partnership allows us to help athletes train smarter and race faster. And that’s exactly why we’re in this business.”
Janelle Chubey, Director of OEM at 4iiii, doesn’t mince words either: “Integrating our power meters into some of Quintana Roo’s most advanced bike models means we’re helping even more athletes unlock new levels of performance through accurate, actionable data. It’s a really exciting step, and we can’t wait to hear how riders are using this technology to reach their goals.”
Performance and Pedigree: A Marriage of Intent
But here’s the real story. This isn’t about slapping a fancy new toy on your carbon steed. It’s about making sure that every turn of the pedal is accounted for, measured, and used to inch closer to perfection. It’s the sort of partnership that shows reverence for the heritage—Quintana Roo’s decades of dialling in aero frames—and the promise of what’s next.
For those who live and breathe FTP tests and functional thresholds, this collaboration isn’t just another box to tick. It’s a chance to turn hard numbers into personal bests.
And for everyone else, it’s a reminder that even in a world where every watt counts, there’s still room for a little bit of magic.
The Final Word
This collab is a breath of fresh air in a world that’s all about the next marginal gain. Quintana Roo and 4iiii haven’t just bolted on a power meter; they’ve taken the long view—melding tradition and technology to ensure that every ride is more than just another session.
For the rest of us? The real test is whether we can feel it on race day. And if you can’t, well, maybe it’s time to take the batteries out and start over.
