Rose's Di2 racer is based on the proven "Carbon X-Lite" frame, which once again impresses with its great riding behaviour. Thanks to the high stiffness values of the frame and fork, the bike sits confidently on the road in every riding situation and does not torture its rider with excessive harshness. Only the weight is comparatively high at over 1,100 grams. The integration of the Di2 drivetrain is cleverly done. The cable disappears at the cable entry for the rear derailleur in the down tube; the additional manufacturing effort for the Di2 version is limited to an additional hole below the front derailleur. At the rear, the cable reappears directly in the right dropout. The battery is located between the bottle cage and bottom bracket on the down tube. The only drawback of this surprisingly affordable bike is its rather high weight of seven kilos.
