ROSE Xeon CRS-3000 double

A very fast but comfortable bike, great service too. I took the frame that was recommended based on my height, it looks large, but felt fine, so prob OK.

This is a seriously impressive bike, very light, stiff, comfortable and outstanding value for money. The excellent configurator allows you to tweak the specification to exactly what you want so no upgrades required. Out on the road the ride is smooth, the steering very nimble but when the road starts to rise the bike really excels. There are better looking bikes out there but if you want a top quality bike, with an excellent specification for a sensible budget then this overall package takes some beating! Thank you Rose, one very satisfied customer.

I wanted a bike under 7 Kg with carbon frame, 100% Ultegra equipped, under 2500 euros. I searched in Austria and widened the search to the Europeans Union. Prices were in the range of 2800 to 3500 euros , except at 2 suppliers in Germany. One supplier did not have the right size frame. Rose had the range of frame sizes that suited me. The Rose calculator proposed a 49cm frame size. From experience I new that 49cm was not right for me. I ordered size 51 and it is the right size. 49cm would be too small. Standard frame size table give 51cm or 52cm size for me. So, be careful with the size calculator of Rose. Especially, there is a drop of head bar tune length every 3 sizes. For 51cm , the head tube is actually a bit shorter than expected but a couple of carbon spacer solve the problem. Also, the position of the bottle cage fixture is a bit too high on the front frame tube which make difficult to move a bottle in and out of the cage. This can be solved by using a lateral bottle cage. The Xeon CRS 3000 was delivered as specified. Rose kindly added mounted Mavic pro tires with pro air tubes for free. The frame is amazingly light weight; stiff and well designed. It is a pro-level bike for a very competitive price.

The best looking, lightest and fastest bike I have ever owned. It is comfortable (second bike being a Specialized Roubaix) and seriously responsive. I love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for speed but not losing too much comfort.

I am 5 ft 6in and advised for 49 but opted for the 51. Old bike was 51 also. Bike feels slightly shorter than old bike 51 specilaised allez(Alu) However it is fabulous, nearly half the weight and is so fast. I do 100+mls /wk and the boys were sick when i left them on the hills. Cant believe the performance difference.. Carbon frame in white is rough texture and needs special attention to keep immaculate. This is true value for the money.

fabulous bike!

Das Rad ansich ist wirklich hervorragend. Tolle Fahreigenschaften und guter Rahmen. Einen Wermutstropfen gibt es allerdings: Ich holte mir das Rad direkt aus Bocholt ab. Alles sah gut aus. Nach der ersten Fahrt bemerkte ich, das das Hinterad recht zäh lief. Auch die Kette hatte nach ca 300 km die ersten Verschleisserscheinungen!! Nach etlichem Hin- und Her mit E-mails bei ROSE kam ich zu dem Schluss, das mein Händler vor Ort mal prüfen solle, was los sei. Er merkte, das das Hinterrad mit Bremse und auch die Kassette "verkehrt" eingebaut waren. Dieses ist bei bei den ROSE Kontrollen nicht aufgefallen! Der Monteur war schlicht und ergereifend schlampig vorgegangen. Leider hat ROSE mir nur angeboten das Rad einzuschicken oder es wieder ca. 400km hinzubringen. Schade für diesen Service. Von den Eigenschaften ansich hätte das Rad 5 Sterne verdient; doch die schlampige Verarbeitung (vermutlich "Montagsrad") und den persönlichen Ärger veranlassen mich, nur 3 Sterne zu vergeben. Hier hätte Rose mit ein bissl Einsicht besser reagieren können.

Das Rad ist perfekt, super Vortrieb, klasse Bremsen und beste Laufruhe. Nach nun 5000KM kein knacken oder quitschen, macht einfach nur Spaß! Bin Top zufrieden und werde nun den Service testen.

zeer goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding, buiten dat fietst de fiets echt perfect. als je van een alu frame over stapt naar deze is het echt een grote stap, en merk je echt dat deze fiets echt licht is. ligt echt goed in de bocht, en op een stenenweg merk ik ook echt een groot verschil met mijn oude fiets dat deze weinig trilling door geeft.

I'm being a bit picky not giving this bike 5 stars. what takes it down is that the carbon colored frame looks a bit to rough and that the top tube is a bit wide (not long, wide) and my knee touches the top tube on occasion (yes im picky). but the bike is extremely quick and responsive and mor comfortable than you might think. I'v done 120-150 km training's on it without discomfort.
