The Wilier Rave SLR is two bikes in one, with the ability to be built up as a gravel bike or a road bike. This frameset features their carbon 0-Bar which is the same one found on some of their professional level road bikes. This version also has a unique orange and green camo paint job that will stand out on any ride. It is geared toward road riders but can still accommodate tires up to 42mm in case you want to make a switch. It also fully integrates the cables within the frame. If the desire to switch your focus to gravel riding hits, there is no need to go out and get a new bike. Simply swap out your tires and groupset and you have a high performing gravel bike on your hands. The Wilier Rave SLR is a dream for the rider who wants to ride without being limited by terrain.
Made with the same grade of carbon as the Filante SLR and the Wilier 0 SLR, riders can be certain they are getting an elite frame that is made for speed, not just versatility. In the medium size, the frame comes in below 1,000 grams, fitting right in with some of the lightest on the market. Liquid crystal polymers and other viscoelastic fibers were used in the carbon mixture. This enhances the ride quality while maintaining the low weight a professional rider would expect. Thanks to the meticulously engineered carbon process of Wilier, Rave SLR riders can expect excellent rider quality, lightweight feel on a climb, and responsive speed.
Wilier always wants their bikes to have the ability to race, even if that is not the rider’s goal. They believe even the hobbyist should get the same race feel and speed potential as their professionals. Wilier pulled references from the top of their road range as well as some gravel influences to create a geometry that is responsive and fast everywhere. It has a slightly higher stack and shorter reach than a pure racing bike, helping riders stay comfortable on varied terrain while still pushing a real pace. The handlebar and stem combo aims for carbon stiffness as well as excellent ergonomics, helping this bike strike the perfect balance of performance and comfort. The Wilier Rave SLR is the rare bike that can truly do it all.
