Hera was born in the De Rosa family in 2021 as the first titanium gravel bike. Presented earlier that year, this bike marked the historic Cusano Milanino brand's entry into the gravel segment, with anapproach strongly focused on tradition and artisanal quality.
Hera is handcrafted in Italy, at our Cusano Milanino headquarters,and embodies the brand's heritage spirit: a unique, exclusive, and precious jewel, designed to last a long time and accompany thecyclist on every adventure.
The inspiration for the name comes from the goddess Hera,recalling an idea of nobility and prestige, consistent with the choiceof titanium as a “noble” material for the frame.
Noble as a deity, Hera is a heritage gravel bike, perfect for tackling any terrain, from the most extreme to the simplest. Designed and made to measure, like a haute couture dress.
