Origin
De Rosa entered the gravel market around 2020 with the Gravel Carbon — a pragmatic application of its road carbon expertise to the adventure-cycling boom. The frame borrowed internal cable routing and Italian aesthetic sensibilities from the road range, combining them with a wider fork and 1x gravel gearing compatibility. It laid the groundwork for the more developed Spider gravel platform that followed.
