The top of the De Rosa road bike range is made complete with a new series of frames: 888 SuperKing. There are three De Rosa 888 SuperKing models: “E”, “R”, and “SR”.
- 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 SuperKing frame is refined, intended to provide a low overall weight, high rigidity, but with a better absorption to vibration.
- Proposal with regular (classic) geometry (the top tube is parallel to the ground), and available in 8 sizes.
