De Rosa 838 Disc Road Frame

De Rosa 838 Disc - Classic Appeal and Modern Features at an Affordable Price

If you are looking for a super well priced carbon Italian racing bike to take on hard training rides and weekend races, the De Rosa 838 Disc offers all the classic appeal of a brand steeped in cycling history, without forgetting essential modern features.

De Rosa positioned the 838 Disc as a great bike to use as an entry into the De Rosa world. That means that they have focused all their usual attention on the design and construction of the 838 Disc, to the same level of detail that they would usually reserve for their top of the line, much more expensive frames. As a result, the 838 Disc rides with the same snappy precision that the SK Pininfarina has, while sticking to a classic, slightly sloping frame style.

Balance and handling the Italians always get right. When you get out of the saddle, you’ll feel a snappy responsiveness that will make you want to push the pedals just that bit more. And when you have the chance to let loose on a winding descent, you’ll understand where all the confidence the pros show on Tour de France mountain stages comes from. Not that we’d recommend you descending like the roads are closed to traffic, but at least you’ll be able to get a taste for the freedom that confidently attacking a downhill can give.

Versatility of the De Rosa 838 Disc on Different Road Types

The De Rosa 838 Disc uses a carbon layup that ensures an extra level of durability while keeping things lightweight with a frame weighing around 1000 grams depending on the size. The slim seatstays offer a subtle but important level of vibration dampening and meet the seat tube at a lower point, tightening the rear triangle for exceptional lateral stiffness. The frame can easily accommodate 30mm tires which makes it hugely versatile on a variety of road types.

You’ll certainly love the De Rosa 838 Disc as soon as you swing a leg over and set off on one of your favorite rides. It is an Italian racing bike that can keep you dreaming of longer and harder rides for years to come.
