TEST REPORTS Fiets (NL) 09/2014: Grade 1,7 ”Who needs a carbon bike when there’s a Xeon RS-3000? It does not feel like riding an aluminium racer. A ride around the church is as easy as a long tour. Riding uphill? No problem thanks to its low weight. The XEON RS races over serpentine roads with ease; once you’ve pushed the pedals you are almost at the top. In short: an excellent bike. It is stiff without being uncomfortable. […] ROSE has managed to develop an almost perfect aluminium racer. Lightweight, excellently assembled and affordable. Full stop.“

TOUR 10/2014: Grade 2,1 ”[…] strengths are the impressively low weight of frame and fork set that could be further lowered thanks to a new alloy and optimised welding processes as well as its riding stability. […] Thanks to the advantages of a mail-order company and top functionality of the equipment, this ROSE road bike offers more for its money.“ This test relates to the ROSE XEON RS-2000 2015.
