Kilmė

The Idol has been part of De Rosa's lineup since 2012 as the house's mid-range answer to riders who want Italian carbon quality without the pro-race price tag. The 2026 generation is the most significant overhaul in its history — a new triple-weave carbon recipe shed ~300 g from the previous frameset while adding a bolder downtube and visually striking bare-carbon arc-slope top tube.

−Trūkumai

Still heavier than the Merak — sits clearly as a step below the flagship climbing model
Less aerodynamic than the 70 — no Pininfarina wind-tunnel development at this price point
Published tire clearance not specified on derosa.it — requires dealer confirmation
