The innovative cabling system inside, both for the solution “fully integrated”. So the bottom bracket by 86.5 mm and steering differentiated by 1 1/8 and 1 1/4.

The top of the De Rosa range is made complete with a new series of frames: 888 Superking 2014 in the “R”, “SR”, and “E” models.

The “E” model was designed to be exclusive. It is dedicated to the mounting of electronic units. It is a project in synergy with Campagnolo engineers. This model features the possibility of recharging the battery via a plug positioned underneath the water bottle holder.

The “R” and “SR” models are instead dedicated to those who choose mechanical mounting units.

The series 888 SuperKing is characterized by a “blend” of 3 different types of composite fibers MR-60 (295 GPA/5800MPA), HR-40 (390GPA/4610MPA), and NGF’s 630GPA.

The structure of the frame is refined and advanced, intended to provide low overall weight, high rigidity, but with better absorption to vibration.

IDOL is a bike conceived and designed for the utilization of disc brakes. The structural specifications of the new IDOL are connected to the improvement of the load-bearing structure where the presence of a disc brake and the consequent braking power requires it.

Its design, geometries, and materials utilized are optimized for utilization with a disc brake, but obviously, IDOL also accepts the classical block brakes for those who follow traditional solutions without renouncing the latest generation and futuristic design frames.

The IDOL frame is made from SUPER HI-MODUL fiber with a blend of T1000 (70%) and T800 (30%). It is offered in six frame sizes.

The fascination with steel has remained unchanged over time. There are still many who value this material and the NUOVO CLASSICO frames are produced for them with the same artisan.

For many years the frames have been made with the same technical expertise, with micro-fusion welding of joints, followed by finishing off all the elements by hand with attention for every detail.

This frame sums up the most long-standing Italian frame-building tradition and De Rosa is the standard-bearer.

Steel fork and availability in 14 sizes.

Finishes and colors are consistently high quality as in the De Rosa philosophy.
