| Style | Taking inspiration from Tifosi's ever popular CK7, the Rostra Disc is the perfect aluminium all-season bike. A lightweight 6061 T6 aluminium frame ensures excellent ride characteristics and durability alongside comfort-oriented geometry, while the unidirectional carbon fork with tapered steerer gives precise steering with the additional comfort that carbon fork blades give. Disc fitment is the latest flat mount standard and 12mm thru-axles keep everything stiff and secure. Rostra Disc is equipped with a full Shimano Tiagra hydraulic disc groupset, ensuring reliable gear shifting and plentiful stopping power. TLR wheels and tyres make this bike primed for an easy upgrade to the benefits of a tubeless system. Rostra Disc is a highly versatile bike ideal for gravel adventures, daily commuting and road riding. It can take up to 38mm tyres, or up to 35mm tyres with full length mudguards fitted. The Rostra Disc also has mounts for a rear pannier rack.  Tifosi Rostra Disc review, road.cc (for the full review see here): "The Tifosi Rostra Disc Hydraulic Tiagra fills the gap between the road bike and gravel bike market, 'the perfect all-season bike that is capable of handling year-round British weather' according to Tifosi. I found it a pleasing bike to ride, and versatile enough to take on a range of surfaces." Conclusion I really wasn't sure what to expect from the Tifosi Rostra. Would it be a bike trying too hard to be good at everything, with all of the sacrifices that tends to bring? No, is the answer. This is a very good road bike at this price point for all kinds of riding, and it offers a great balance of speed and comfort. Using that maximum tyre clearance to fit something knobbly and you can enjoy the local tracks and trails. It's not as capable as a full-on gravel bike on the dirt roads, but it's good enough to bring an extra dimension to your weekend rides. Verdict Very good versatile bike whose tyre clearance and geometry mean it isn't just limited to the road  |
