✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . The weightfigure is our estimate — the manufacturer publishes none. Caveat: Size M row (560mm top tube, the 56cm equivalent) from Rose's own geometry table. Rose's claimed 9.1kg is quoted for size M/L rather than M, so the weight here is an estimate for size M and should not be compared against other bikes. Rose prints no model year on the page, so the year reflects the range Rose currently sells. Rose lists 18 attachment points for bottles, bags and cages but documents no mudguard or rack mounts, so both are recorded as absent.
