De Rosa history...

Discover the rich heritage of De Rosa Bikes, a brand that epitomizes Italian craftsmanship and innovation in the cycling world. Founded in 1953 by the passionate cyclist and engineer Ugo De Rosa, the company began its journey in a small workshop in Cusano Milanino, Milan. Ugo's dedication to creating high-quality racing bicycles quickly caught the attention of amateur and professional cyclists alike, propelling De Rosa into the international spotlight.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, De Rosa Bikes became a staple in professional pelotons, collaborating with legendary riders such as Eddy Merckx, Gianni Motta, and Francesco Moser. The brand was renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and the introduction of innovative techniques like TIG welding, which allowed for personalized frame geometries and improved performance. De Rosa's commitment to excellence led to numerous victories in prestigious races, solidifying its reputation in the cycling community.

The evolution of De Rosa continued with the adoption of new materials and technologies. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the company embraced aluminum and carbon fiber, launching iconic models like the Merak and King series. These bikes showcased lightweight construction and advanced aerodynamics, meeting the demands of modern cyclists seeking superior speed and agility. Collaborations with design houses like Pininfarina resulted in masterpieces such as the SK Pininfarina, blending artistic aesthetics with cutting-edge engineering.

Celebrating over 70 years of cycling excellence, De Rosa introduced the 70 in 2023—a 730-gram frame that represents the pinnacle of their technological advancements. This model, developed in partnership with Pininfarina, embodies the brand's tradition of innovation, elegance, and performance. Today, De Rosa offers a diverse lineup including the Avant, Dual, Idol, Merak, King, and Super King, each meticulously crafted to provide an exceptional riding experience. Embrace the legacy of De Rosa Bikes and feel the difference that Italian passion and precision bring to your cycling journey.
