King 3 RS (2010-2011), RRP £6599.00

De Rosa says

The KING3" project has taken a another step forward with the birth of the "RS" models in which the on-road performance of the frame has been heightened further through the new carbon fabric composition used. Continuous research into composite materials has revealed how the integration of 10% T-700SC (+ 50% High Modulus) and 46T HS40 Carbon Pre-Preg (+ 40% High Strength 60T) guarantees outstanding characteristics in a racing frame such as increased lightness, high degree of rigidity, excellent vibration absorption and extraordinary acceleration and drivability. The two versions of the new KING3 RS differ from each other in the construction technology used. The first is built as a monocoque on the base and shapes of the KING3; it weighs less than one kilogramme. 10% lower than the classical model. For the record, this new frame was used successfully by professionals during the last Giro d'Italia, to great effect in the opinion of the racers themselves. The second version called "RS custom", has been built using a layering technique so it is fully customisable. The customer can also choose the movement box option as well as the customised size. This feature also provides for the inclusion of a central "BB30" movement and "oversize" 1.1/8 - 1.1/2 steering with a dedicated fork can be fi tted is wished. The result is an extra frame.
