Rose pro dx cross

Rose bikes introduced an all new bike in their cyclocross family last week called the Team DX Cross.

I decided to get a cyclocross bike last year to replace my Genesis Aether road bike. It was to be used for commuting, road rides and go up into the hills and forests. I paid a little extra to go from R24 to R23 wheels and due to some QC problems they gave me the new, lighter fork from their current Team model. Anyway the bike is brilliant. Faster than my old road bike even with knobbly tyres, lighter 8. Plus I can ride just about anywhere on it and the disk brakes are a godsend for commuting in fast traffic in winter. It goes back to the earliest days of MTB for me, those days of just going out and exploring.

Looks good, unfussy decals and internal routing, and seems to fit my requirements nicely. Just checking in on this thread. None particularly in depth or detail though. Pros for the Rose is they look great either colour , have a better spec. I think that is as per your pricing up there. Some times they offer a selection of different groupsets but not on these CX bikes and you can specify various sizes bars, cranks etc , stem flip and brake-handedness once you place it in your basket. They do seem open to changing stuff as each bike is built up in-house so I suspect changes can be negotiated. Looking at grahams original thread I can understand his gearing dilema…solved with a triple? See if you can spec a xx cassette from new, and if not, just pop one on yourself when you get it and see how you get on. Happy Rose cross bike owner here!! At the moment it is my road bike with slicks on, as good as any road bike I can afford I recon.

All carbon with a 1.

At mm the 10mm thru-axle rear dropouts are narrower than some. That means you only get a guide slot on the non-driveside to seat the wheel, which can mean a bit of wiggling when replacing the wheel and screwing in the thru-axle. The geometry mixes a steep degree seat angle with a slacker degree head angle, which combines with the shortish reach to create a forward, quite upright riding position. The steady steering adds to the relaxed feel on the road, while the compliant carbon fork, huge tyres and a That said, Rose does give you a choice of dozens of saddles, along with numerous other kit upgrades or alternatives for different budgets. It is designed for 15mm thru-axles, but it also has mounts for mudguards and a low-rider rack.

The Germans do direct-to-consumer business models quite well. The range opens with the X-LITE, a bike designed as a thoroughbred carbon racer with an aggressive geometry promising to give maximal stiffness, along with a few very recent aero tweaks since we reviewed its forebear last year. Moving on and the Pro family of bikes fit into the endurance category with a more relaxed geometry, and can be had in both carbon and alloy versions. Meanwhile, the Team GF is the frame to opt for if you want an aero-tweaked carbon bike ready to take on fast gran fondos and sportives without sacrificing comfort, according to Rose. If cyclo-cross is your thing, then you have a choice of a tweaked Xeon carbon frame, or the DX Team and Pro Cross alloy machines, with all coming stocked with all the features needed to take on the multi-terrain course. Both the Xeon and DX Team bikes also come in a design customised for gravel riding, too. Prices are correct at time of writing, and will vary with tweaks to the specification. This bike is designed for the keen sportive and gran fondo rider, and has aero tweaks in a frame that still sneaks under the 1kg barrier. Got a cyclo-cross race in mind?

The only way I knew was because the same thing happened with my first CX bike. Oh, and, hauling it back to the OP: The , in white. Jase Free Member. Dan N. The smooth feel of the fork did well in keeping the bike comfortable, and did keep handling quick and in control at all times. Poor taste. Have a work conference in Linlithgow tomorrow afternoon so can ride there along the Union Canal. I wonder, how does this bike compare to the Pro DX Cross? Looking at grahams original thread I can understand his gearing dilema…solved with a triple? Life of bike would not last. Bez Full Member. Just emailed Rose asking about the groupset, deral and delivery time. Outfitted with some fat 32mm Schwalbe Durano slicks it was ready for any road surface you could throw at it. The hoods are shorter so for the same reach I can run a longer stem which a.

And while the frame seemed to ride fairly stiffly on the gravel washboards and rougher sections of trail, the fork seemed more happy to eat up road and trail chatter. Bottom bracket.
