Algupära
The King has been the backbone of De Rosa's road lineup since the early 2000s, offering a race-derived frameset accessible to performance enthusiasts who aren't riding a UCI WorldTour squad. The King 3 update brought T700SC carbon, Kevlar seat-tube reinforcement, and a distinctive aerodynamic trick: moving the rear rim brake from the seatstay bridge to below the bottom bracket shell.

Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- King 3: Toray T700SC unidirectional carbon fibre monocoque with Kevlar reinforcements on inside of seat tube; extended seat tube above top tube reduces seatpost leverage; 10 sizes; frame weight ~1,130 g (66 cm size)
- Kahvel
- Full carbon, 315 g; designed for front-end stiffness and vibration absorption
- Jõuülekanne
- Campagnolo Super Record 11-speed on top builds; 39/53 chainring, 12-27 cassette; 2022 King Carbon also offered with Shimano builds
- Pidurid
- Rim-brake versions: rear caliper hidden under BB shell for aerodynamic benefit; 2022 King Carbon disc: flat-mount hydraulic disc
- Rattad
- Fulcrum Zero (top builds); 700c; 2022 King Carbon: 142x12 thru-axle (disc)
- Vedrustus
- Rigid
- Geomeetria
- 10 sizes for wide fit range; aggressive yet accessible race geometry; King XS variant targets smaller riders
- Kaal
- Complete bike: 6.69 kg (without pedals); ~6.7 kg with pedals (66 cm top build); frame 950 g estimated for mid-sizes

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Sub-6.8 kg complete race build with top-tier Campagnolo groupset and quality carbon wheels
- Hidden under-BB rear brake is a clever aero solution with zero performance compromise
- Wide 10-size range covers riders from smallest to tallest within one frameset family
−Nõrkused
- T700SC is a competent but not ultra-premium carbon — newer platforms use higher-modulus blends
- Rim-brake architecture feels dated as the industry has largely moved to disc
- King name has become diluted across many variant sub-models, making spec comparison confusing
