Rose Blend 2026: Di2 drivetrain for 2000 euros

The Blend Road 105 Di2 is the new top of the Blend model range. The Shimano 105 Di2 gears work electronically and offer 2x12 gearing. Rose R25 aluminium wheels are part of the equipment of the model, which is probably the cheapest new bike with electronic shifting ever

Mechanical gears for beginners in gravel or road racing

The two basic models Blend Road and Blend Gravel use mechanical gears with 2x10 gears. There are two versions: The Blend Road uses the Shimano Cues and 28 millimetre narrow road tyres, while the 100 euro more expensive Blend Gravel is equipped with the Shimano GRX 400 and rolls on 40 millimetre studded tyres. Both versions roll on G20 wheels and are available in the colours Violet and Light Ochre.

Frame with 40 mm tyre clearance

The aluminium frame accepts tyres up to 40 mm wide. This tyre clearance allows you to switch between narrow road tyres and wider gravel tyres. For 2026, the frame has two additional mounting points on the top tube. These attachment points accept top tube bags such as the Rose Top Tube Bag. The geometry remains unchanged from its predecessor and is available in seven frame sizes.

All three models share basic components such as handlebars and seat post. A carbon fork comes as standard, as do hydraulic disc brakes. The cables run inside the frame. Threads for mudguards and a kickstand are provided on the frame.
