Dimond Bikes (United States)

Dimond bikes was born in the summer of 2011 when professional Ironman triathlete and industrial engineer, TJ Tollakson, won his first Ironman at Lake Placid New York on a modified and re-branded Zipp 2001 beam bike manufactured in 1996. This 15 year old bicycle was wind tunnel tested as one of the fastest bicycles. Tollakson used his knowledge of these wind tunnels and connections with employees at Zipp to procure and modify the bike for racing. Tollakson tried to convince Zipp to start manufacturing the bikes again. After Zipp declined interest, they offered support. Tollakson and few Zipp employees set off on a course to re-launch a beam bike. By May of 2012,  the first prototypes were designed, and in August of 2012 Tollakson raced the one and only Ironman NYC on his first prototype frame. In November of 2013, the first production Dimond out of the Dimond Mine (factory) in Des Moines, IA was launched at Ironman Arizona along with the wind tunnel reports confirming its spot at the top of the list of “fastest bikes”.

In March of 2014, bikes began shipping from the Dimond Mine in Des Moines, IA all over the world. Tollakson himself won the 2014 Ironman North American Championship in Mont Tremblant Canada aboard his Dimond. Just two months later in October, 22, Dimonds were ridden at the Ironman World Championship cementing the brand as a success.
