Italian frame manufacturer Wilier has added a new, disc brake-only, highly integrated climbing bike, which will be used by Team Total Direct Energie at next month’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.

Wilier s๊ays the bike is the result of years of research and experimentation at the brand’s Innovation Lab and sees a completely redesigned frame and bigger sibling to the Wilier Zero.7 and Zero.6 Unlimited framesets and uses a brand new carbon layup and technologies.

Alongside the disc brake-specific design, Wilier have made the frame optimised for electronic gearing, claimed aerodynami♎cs, internal cable routing and a brand new, integrated and proprietary cockpit system.

The new Wilier Zero SLR fork has a claimed weight of 340g in the matte black colourway and features an asymmetric design to cope with the forces produced from a disc brake setup. Wilier also increas✤ed the distance between the fork blades and the wheel, with the wider stance a claimed improvement in aerodynamics and inspired by Wilier’s Turbine triathlon frameset.

Constructed from Wilier’s proprietary HUS-MOD carbon fibre, a material the brand says is superior to any other materials they have previously used. Strategically increasing stiffness in targeted areas on the frame, the Zero SLR has an increased stiffn🐽ess to weight ratio of more than 16 percent compared to the current Zero.6 frame and the Zero.7 by 24ܫ percent.

Tyre clearances front and rear are a claimed ♛28mm.

Alongside the frame and🍃 fork updates, Wilier have also released the Zero SLR ♍with an integrated cockpit system, with proprietary spacers and full internal routing.

The disc brake-only design means that only thru-axles are needed on the frameset and Wilier have adopted Mavic’s Speed Release 🧔thru-axle system, which allows the wheel to be removed from the frame without the need to fully extract the thru-axle from the frame.

Like most modern racing frames, the Wilier Zero SLR also has a proprietary D-profile carbon seat post and replicates a similar profile as seen on the brand’s aero-specif𓆏ic Cento10 framesets. A visible lump on the inside of the main frame triangle at the seat cluster accommodates the seat wedge clamp, accessed via a bolt in the top tube.

Wilier is offering the Zero SLR in six frame sizes, with the brand saying 🐬the different sizes will maintain consistent stiffness, handling characteristics and complia🐈nce in each size.

The new frame features a press fit bottom bracket and is available in red, b♉lue or black. Pricing starts at €7,700 for a full build including a SRAM RED eTap AXS drivetrain.
