De Rosa King3 RS Frame Set
The “KING3″ project has taken an another step forward with the birth of the  ”RS” models in which the on-road performance of the frame has been heightened further trough the new carbon fabric composition used. Continuous research into composite materials has revelled how the integration of 10% T-700SC (+50% High Modules) and 46T HS40 Carbon pre- Preg ( +40% High Strengh 60T) guarantees fundamental characteristics in a racing frame such as increased lightness , high degree of rigidity, excellent vibration absorption, outstanding acceleration and extraordinary drivability. The second version called “RS custom” has however been built using a laying technique.  Its main advantage is that the customer can also choose the movement box option as well as the customised size. This feature provides for the inclusion of a central ” BB30″ movement. Furthermore, ” oversize ” 1.1/8 – 1.1/2 steering and consequently the dedicated fork can be fitted. The result is an extra frame. (more…)
De Rosa King3 Frame Set
The monocoque frame offered in no less than 10 sizes, allows every structural requirements to be catered for in a widespread manner. What is more its monolithic structure made completely in T-700SC fibre, allows it to reach an ambitious target weight. Another fundamental aspect to be take into consideration is the excellent level of safety: the composite material choose by us indeed offers the highest standards of torsional rigidity, density and mechanical resistance. The result is thus a light responsive frame which is at the same time comfortable: these reasons have led out professional cyclists to choose KING3, a frame with a technological core, enclosed in a cutting-edge design, characterised by the integrated post seat and the “muscular” sections of its segments, within which the cables pass. A frame offering the best possible combination of design and technology, bringing together lightness security and purity of line. (more…)
De Rosa Merak Frame Set
2010 marks the return of an historical name from De Rosa: MERAK! Re proposed today in carbon fibre. The ” New Merak” project id betting everything on carbon fibre based on a careful selection of composite materials that have led to the creation and use of a  fibre mix in which their various features are combined, aimed at enhancing the mechanical characteristics and consequently the performance of the frame. The result guarantees lightness, a high degree of rigidity, outstanding resistance fatigue together with extreme aero elastic performance. The new Merak can also accommodate the fitting of the “BB30″ central movement. Moreover, the “High Moment Inertial Tafer” steering tubes makes it possible to use of the steering with 1.1/2 bearings  and relative “oversize” fork designed for it. The aerodynamic, integrated seat pillar houses an elliptical saddle support with a 25mm adjustment. To conclude, the design id fascinating: from the shapes that are as important as they are elegant, highlighted by eye-catching graphics, to colour schemes that makes the MERAK  a frame bound for new glory.

De Rosa Neo Pro Frame Set
The best Italian frame manufacturing tradition requires a frame to be made to measure. De Rosa has always adopted this philosophy and today with “Neo Pro” all the limits arriving from the technical and mechanic features of the carbon fibre have been sort out. This is the result of a deep studying in material and section of the tubes. The moulding takes place using a technologically advanced procedure namely with “sealed” moulds protected internally with nitrogen: this system prevents leakage of the resin which would be inevitably modify the exact proportion between the fibre and the resin system. The material used is K12 with high resistance of T700. (more…)
De Rosa Idol Frame Set
The new version of IDOL will be remembered for its innovative and unique design, just like the first IDOL, that when presented for the first time in 2006 was seen as  the real forerunner of ” the Arc slope” geometry, later to inspire many Italian and other manufacturers. The IDOL 2009 actually now comes up rated with extensive brand new content. The striking appearance is the first thing to catch the attention, its forceful and elegant shapes. its taut muscular lines with the new and carefully  studied colour combinations. IDOL is however much more than appearance. More importantly, it is its technical brilliance that shines through, an example of which is the insertion of the rear wish-bone in the main triangle. This new, unique feature entails the bonding  of the rear tubes into a “crescent moon section” in the direction of the length of the integrated seat pillar, to increase the reactivity not just of the carriage, but of the entire frame, This structural feature then defines an arched line in the carriage, but on the entire frame. in the area of the saddle joint making the already attractive design, unique. Furthermore, in addition to the “Oversize” steering IDOL also has an oversize movement box should a “BB30″ central movement be inserted. (more…)
De Rosa Avant Frame Set
Classic and modern are perfectly mixed in a frame with its well proportioned lines and great technical significance. Its clean and simple monocoque structure, light and readily responding, is ideal for interpreting in an up to date manner the sport of cycling, where weight, content, reactivity, safety, manoeuvrability and design are key attributes you cannot do without. (more…)
De Rosa Team 09 Frame Set
A very flexible material which is ideal for the construction of racing frames, aluminium has been widely used in frame manufacturing since the end of the 1980s. Today, in the form of various alloys, it is still one of the most commonly used materials and despite the evolution of carbon fibre material, the metal still has many fans. The qualities for which is most appreciated are its rigidity and responsiveness, together with high standards of lightness. Considerable research has been dedicated by us to heart treatments. (more…)
