De Rosa 838 Disc – Carbon Road Bike

Your First De Rosa. Your First Heart Bike.

The De Rosa 838 Disc is designed for riders who value simplicity, performance, and unmistakable Italian style. With its clean, decisive lines and balanced handling, the 838 offers an accessible entry into the world of De Rosa without compromising on speed, comfort, or character.

Built from lightweight carbon fibre, the frame weighs approximately 900 grams. Its slightly sloping geometry provides a responsive and well-balanced ride, particularly when accelerating or climbing out of the saddle.

The sculpted down tube and polished elliptical bottom bracket area increase stiffness for efficient power transfer, while the slim chainstays help maintain comfort and agility. A fully integrated cable-routing system passes through the head tube, creating a clean appearance while reducing aerodynamic drag.

The carbon fork offers clearance for tires up to 32 mm, allowing riders to choose between a fast race-oriented setup and a more comfortable configuration for longer rides.

Whether you are discovering the brand for the first time or looking for a refined and versatile carbon road bike, the De Rosa 838 Disc delivers authentic Italian performance with the heart and soul that define every De Rosa.
