The King dynasty continues to evolve; the King XS features a new frame that's lighter than before. Opting for new technical and stylistic design solutions, the blend of three carbon composite materials provides a fast and elegant frameset. The revamped frame design sees the rear brake disappear, only to be found under the bottom bracket. This new position lets De Rosa increase the braking power and tidy the lines of the seatstay brake arch. The integrated fork, steering tube, and frame axis is designed to improve overall aerodynamic performance.
Equipped with a Shimano Ultegra 11-speed transmission and De Rosa's Tektro direct mount brakes, the King XS Ultegra Road Bike is a lightweight and stiff performer that's matched with quality components. The Fulcrum Racing Quattro wheelset delivers reliability straight out of the box.
