Rose pro dx cross

At mm the 10mm thru-axle rear dropouts are narrower than some.

Rose bikes introduced an all new bike in their cyclocross family last week called the Team DX Cross. We had a chance to point the bike up and over some Alpine dirt and gravel roads, to go where only ski lifts should go, to find some wet mud along the way, and to bomb back down to the valley again. Read on for the full details on the new bike and to see where we feel it might best find its place…. The Team DX Cross really is a mixed-surface bike with randonneur in its heart DX gets added on to all of their road disc brake bikes. The bike has eyelets on frame and fork to run fenders and will clear 42mm tires with the mud guards installed. It also has an all-carbon tapered-steerer fork with low-rider rack mounts for true touring with mounts accessible on both the inside and outside of the fork legs for more mounting flexibility. The T6 aluminum Team DX Cross gets a number of different hydroformed tubing shapes, machined dropouts, and an asymmetric rear end.

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. Obviously get the one I linked you to with the Force groupset because it functions better than shimano and its lighter.

Looks like they now have a splash of colour on them too! Skip to content. The steady steering adds to the relaxed feel on the road, while the compliant carbon fork, huge tyres and a

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.

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 right-hand leg even has internal routing for a dynamo hub , with the left leg taking the hydraulic hose.

As the wheels are not the lightest on the market DT Swiss R24 spline - g I think there's room for summer wheels and tyres too which is a bonus Here it is in full battle dress pics aint come out very well, sorry :. Its the steepness of the hills that you need the easier gears for, rather than the length. You dont have to push the whole brake lever across. Bez Full Member.

The DX is just the sort of bike that would excel in an epic adventure, tackling the rough stuff with ease and shrugging off heavy loads thanks to its first-rate frameset.

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.

Oh and stealth black or look-at-me shiny white? Need that feel-good element Frame quality. Hi, As promised Life of bike would not last. P20 Full Member. DrLex Posts: 2, Please update this thread later on; torn between this, a Canyon inflite or a Specialized Diverge almost bought one last week, but the bolt through fork would make a dynamo wheel an expensive upgrade on a bike dearer than the German options. Patrick Wildt. Mine came with Racing Ralph 33mm tyres. Cheap initial price but value for spend is not worth it. The bike gets a Just emailed Rose about it, will update when I know more It really is a game changer for wet riding
