Nothing here is a placeholder spec: it's the setup De Rosa and Cicli Corsa consider the natural expression of what the Merak was built to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe layup: high- and ultra-high-modulus fibres\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn a 700-gram frame, the carbon layup is the reason that weight still delivers stiffness and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Merak is built predominantly from T1100 and M40J, two of the finest fibres on the market, with a proportion of 60T used where even greater stiffness is called for. Premium fibres account for more than 70% of the structure, while standard-modulus T700 — found in a large share of the carbon frames on sale today — does not appear at all. Higher-modulus fibre needs less material to reach a given stiffness: that is how you take out weight without taking out response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight, without turning twitchy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe real question is not how much it weighs, but how it behaves as the speed rises. The rear triangle and fork carry generous cross-sections, with a clear visual presence when you look at the bike from behind, and that same work translates into control on descents and stability at speed. In profile the silhouette stays taut, the top tube running unbroken towards a compact front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA frame that invites you to go fast and, above all, leaves you feeling settled while you do. With this Dura-Ace Di2, Fulcrum Speed DB and Vision Metron 5D ACR build, the complete bike sits comfortably under the UCI 6.8 kg limit — the components do the work, and these are components we know inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit: Vision Metron 5D ACR, built for hidden cables\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Merak ships with the \u003cstrong\u003eVision Metron 5D ACR\u003c\/strong\u003e, the integrated cockpit De Rosa developed together with Vision specifically around the lines of this frame — it is the pairing the brand had in mind. Cables and brake hoses run fully hidden inside the front end, for a clean cockpit and a front end with minimal drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf your position calls for different dimensions, or you'd simply rather run a different ACR-compatible cockpit, the Merak's ACR Hidden Cables standard keeps that door open: get in touch before you order and we'll help you find the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne platform. Three ways to read it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe platform is one, and it is exceptional. This is no cosmetic update: the Merak once again manages to surprise on technical content and performance, without setting style aside — and at De Rosa, style has never been an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThen there is everything else, and that part is about you. Classic, Dynamic and Race share exactly the same frame: what changes is the way the project presents itself, and therefore what it says about the rider. Tell us who you are, and there is a reading of the Merak that looks like you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Classic is for those who don't need to say it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe logo on the down tube grows smaller and the surface of the frame is left clear. It takes nerve, because it only works if the shapes hold up to close inspection — and these do: complex, carefully worked surfaces, to which De Rosa has entrusted the elegance of the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFour colourways — Classic Blue, Classic Green, Classic Iris and Classic Rose — and with graphics pared back to the essentials, the choice of colour becomes the decision that defines the bike. This is the version you choose when the bike should be recognised by the people who know how to recognise it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne frame, many roads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Merak was not conceived as a pure climber's bike, it is not a dedicated aero bike and it is not an endurance bike: it is an all-round race bike, and in a market of increasingly specialised models that is a deliberate position rather than a compromise. Tyre clearance up to 34c widens its range, from a narrow, reactive setup to a more forgiving configuration when the road surface stops cooperating. If what you are after is an outright endurance geometry, get in touch: there is a better fit for that use in the De Rosa range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a different build?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bike comes complete with Dura-Ace Di2, Fulcrum Speed DB and the Vision Metron 5D ACR cockpit, professionally assembled by our workshop and ready to ride out of the box.

On a bike with a racing position, height alone is not enough to decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt Cicli Corsa we work in bike fitting and have many years of experience identifying the correct frame size: with recent fit data, or the measurements of the bike you ride today, we can give you a reliable indication while you are still choosing.

Alongside the zero-offset post, 12 mm and 25 mm setback versions are available, and the choice is made when you order at no extra cost: it lets you dial in your saddle position from the very first ride.
