De Rosa Merak Super HM Carbon Framset
2010 saw the return of a historical name from De Rosa: MERAK! Reproposed today in carbon fibre.
The "New Merak" project is based on carbon fibre carefully selected with other composite materials to lead to the creation and use of a fibre mix in which their various features are combined, aimed at enhancing the mechanical characteristics and consequently the performance of the frame.
The result guarantees lightness, a high degree of rigidity, outstanding resistance fatigue together with extreme aeroelastic performance.
The new MERAK can also accommodate the fitting of the "BB30" central movement. Moreover, the "High Moment Inertial Tafer" steering tube makes it possible to use steering with 1.1/2 bearings and relative "oversize" fork designed for it. The aerodynamic, integrated seat pillar houses an elliptical saddle support with a 25mm adjustment.
To conclude, the design is fascinating: from the shapes that are as important as they are elegant, highlighted by eye-catching graphics, to colour schemes that make the MERAK a frame bound for new glory.
