The advent of air-hardening alloys has allowed us to expand the opportunities for performance enhancements. While the R33 represents the leading edge of this technology, we've created tubesets that offer many of the advances at a substantially reduced cost - the new 14-Series with Waterfords proprietary OS2 tubeset. You get impressive weight reductions while retaining everything we like about steel - fast acceleration, sure-footedness and a smooth ride.

Press here to learn more about Waterford's materials technology. Based on the OS2 tubeset, Waterford had created a palette of tubes to customize the ride for riders of different sizes and riding preferences.

You keep all the benefits of Waterford's resources to create the bike of your dreams - thoughtful design based on decades of championship bikes, the flexibility of custom sizing, custom tubesetsing, unmatched craftsmanship and a virtually unlimited range of quality finishes.
