2022 De Rosa Merak Disc SRAM Red eTap

The 2022 De Rosa Merak Disc is finely-tuned instrument built for going fast, as in race-winning fast, on pavement. The streamlined carbon frame is stiff and light. Highly efficient componentry means your muscle power goes right into moving you forward. Handling feels steady and predictable, making tight corners and rough patches more manageable than you might expect from a performance bike.

Shifting gears is a breeze, thanks to the SRAM Red eTap system. There are no cables, just quick presses that snap you into the perfect gear without hesitation. Whether you're powering uphill or speeding along flats, the wide gear range keeps you in your rhythm. This setup is prized by riders who value smoothness and precision, day in and day out.

The carbon fork isn't just for looks. It smooths out road vibrations you'd otherwise feel, so longer rides stay comfortable. Steering stays sharp and reliable, helping you hold the line and stay confident through every twist and turn.

Wheels come courtesy of Fulcrum’s Speed CMPTZN DB Carbon Tubeless set. They're light but tough, built to take a beating while helping maintain speed and acceleration. The tubeless design lets you run lower tire pressures, improving grip and ride comfort without bogging you down.

You'll also find a set of SRAM Red hydraulic disc brakes. They offer strong, consistent braking in dry or wet conditions. When things get fast or technical, you've got the control you need with no surprises.

Vittoria Rubino Pro tires, sized 700x25-28, wrap these wheels perfectly. They blend good traction with durability and roll well on different kinds of pavement. The slightly wider profile adds comfort and helps fend off punctures, keeping you rolling with fewer worries.

Sitting on a Selle Italia SLR Boost Carbon saddle means comfort without sacrifice. Lightweight and ergonomically shaped, it supports the right spots and reduces pressure, even when you’re spending hours in the saddle. The minimalist design keeps you connected to the bike, maximizing power transfer.

All told, the 2022 De Rosa Merak Disc delivers a precise, comfortable road ride built from quality parts and thoughtful design choices.
