new IDOL

25 years ago, De Rosa began working with carbon as one would with a preciousmetal: with respect, with care, and with hands trained to feel the soul of the material. Now, in 2025, that story continues with a name that means much more than just a model to us: IDOL

‍

The new IDOL has changed. It hasn’t lost a single gram of its identity, but it has lost almost 300 grams in weight.The down tube is bolder, wider, more assertive.The rear stays are sharper, more aerodynamic.The signature “arc slope” top tube now flows in bare carbon, carved in a harmonic wave of power and lightness, creating a racing-driven, striking visual impact.The design is clean, minimal, and sharp.Colors and shades alternate like full and empty spaces, like breath and heartbeat. It’s the same IDOL as always.Just sharper. More modern. More De Rosa.Because every curve was redesigned with one goal: to strike the perfect balance between comfort and performance.A frame for Granfondo lovers who still dream of launching attacks on climbs. And of course, travelling and more travelling. In places we haven’t been yet, the maximum tire width and balanced frame geometry will be our allies.

A line that moves, even when standing still. IDOL 2025 is not just a bike. It’s 25 years of carbon history, woven from dreams.It’s an Italian story, handmade like everything that truly matters. Discover it. Look closely.Let yourself be moved by a bike that keeps changing, while always remaining an IDOL.

New lines, same passion..
The heart of the new IDOL is made of fibers and intentions.We sought the perfect balance between stiffness, comfort, and precision.We found it in a carbon soul crafted with the same care we give to everything meant to last.

Carbon Composition – An Invisible Architecture

• 24T (T700) – 15%: Controlled elasticity for vibration absorption and protection
  
• 30T (T800) – 68,5%: The backbone of the frame, responsive, stable, high-performance
  
• 40T (M40J) – 16,5%: Structural stiffness where needed, for uncompromised power transfer
  

Geometry & Weight

• Frame weight: 900 g (a significant reduction with no compromise on strength)
  
• Fork weight: 385 g (lighter, stiffer)
  
• Updated geometry for a more reactive yet long-distance-ready feel

‍

‍

What truly changes?

• The shape evolves: sharper lines, bolder geometry, modern aesthetics
• The technique improves: refined materials, less weight, more precision
  
• The versatility increases: ready for today’s top groupsets, Granfondos, and more!

‍

‍

What stays the same?

• The IDOL DNA: a bike that excites without excess
• The De Rosa craftsmanship: built to last
  
• The ride feel: the reason Idol has been a legend for two decades

‍

‍

I truly believe that only You know what the new IDOL’s color or color scheme and setup should be. With the help of Latvia’s leading bicycle designers and De Rosa’s master craftsmen, this dream can be brought to life organically and intelligently. It will be a magnificent, unique co-creation, Latvia & Italy # 💕.
