The new De Rosa Merak is the result of a relentless pursuit of balance, where performance and design come together in every detail. Developed through an uncompromising process of research and refinement, it embodies De Rosa's vision of the modern racing bike: lightweight, precise, responsive, and built to perform as speed rises.
Merak is not built as a single-specialty bike—it is an all-round race platform engineered for the rider who climbs, descends, and covers fast kilometers without compromise.
Lightweight Carbon Architecture: Built with an advanced carbon layup featuring T1100 and M40J high- and ultra-high-modulus fibers, with 60T used in critical load zones. Standard-modulus T700 carbon is completely absent, maximizing stiffness-to-weight performance.
Frame & Fork Weight:
The frame weighs
700 g (unpainted, UDH configuration, size 480), paired with a
280 g carbon fork.
Enhanced Stability & Control: Designed with increased volumes and generous cross-sections in the rear triangle and fork section to deliver high-speed stability and downhill control without feeling twitchy.
Tire Clearance: Accommodates tires up to 34c, offering superior comfort and versatility for varied road surfaces.
Integration & Standards: Fully integrated ACR Hidden Cables routing, an 85.5 mm T47 bottom bracket, Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility, a 1"1/2 to 1"1/2 headset, and a dedicated zero-offset seatpost
Sizing: Offered across 8 sizes ranging from 42.5 to 56.5.
De Rosa applies a retrofuturistic design concept to the Merak platform, featuring a scaled-back, restrained down tube logo and clean silhouette. The technical frame architecture is available in three distinct visual interpretations:
Classic: Minimalist and essential, putting geometry and clean frame surfaces front and center.
Dynamic: Formulated with longitudinal lines following the frame contours to project fluidity and motion even when static.
Race: High-contrast graphic accents built to honor the historical race pedigree of the Merak name.
