WILIERPEDIA 2025

Our lightest bike ever. Lightness must be controlled. Making a lightweightframe is relatively simple, but making a lightweight one with top-notch
performance and riding qualities requires a strong legacy. The Verticale SLR
is the best example of what we have been, and of what we do best: a racing
bike that has improved weight over the Wilier 0 SLR - the previous climbing
model made by Wilier - by almost 10% (9.73% on the kit comprising frame,fork, handlebars, and seatpost). 1623 g for the Verticale SLR, 1798 g for the0 SLR. Lighter weight, greater responsiveness, improved performance levels.
The Verticale SLR is today the best calling card for Wilier, the new generationof the best Italian bicycle manufacturers.

When we address the frame of a climbing bike,the first aspect we need to consider is theraw material used. Using the highest quality
composite materials is the starting point to giverise to a project that focuses fully on top-levelperformance.
It’s not just the material that makes a difference,but it is certainly the first major piece of the puzzle
on which to base the remainder of the design.
We know that when we talk about composite
material, we are not just talking about a certain
combination of resin and reinforcement, but
about a variety of materials, made up of different
types of carbon fibres.
For the Verticale SLR, we specifically used 3
types of fibres produced by Toray, a Japanesemultinational and leader in the carbon fibremarket, especially T800, T1100, and M46JB.
The first two are distinguished by extremely
high tensile strength, whereas the latter ishigh modulus, which gives the frame superior
torsional stiffness.
The selected carbon fibres are impregnated withspecial epoxy resins and prepared for use in preimpregnated rolls referred to as pre-preg, which
are subsequently cut into more than 400 outlines
with various types of shape and reinforcement
orientations.
Using novel manufacturing technologies allows
the insertion of pre-shaped materials into themould, this process allows for the frame to beaccurately cured. This technical term refers tothe transformation process which leads to theoptimal hardening of the resin to achieve thebest possible performance.
Specifically, the major news that distinguish theinnovative technological process behind theVerticale SLR is the new “ACTIVE MOULDING”
system, characterised by the use of special
foamed polymer counter moulds which adapt tothe materials during the curing process, whereby
the materials consolidate and harden.

W I L I E R .C O M#LOVEMYWILIERNEW SEATPOST CLAMP SYSTEM
We fine-tuned the fastening device which nolonger fastens from the top but diagonally fromthe bottom. This tightening system has allowed
us to lighten the weight at that point of theframe with respect to the 0 SLR.

NEW DERAILLEUR COUPLING
Another major and fundamental new featureis the front derailleur coupling, which for theVerticale SLR is no longer riveted to the frame
and has become repositionable. This is how wesucceeded in cutting down the weight of thecoupling and having two possible configurations
allowing the mounting in one case of a 50-34
or 53-39 compact crankset and in the other anoversized crankset with up to 55-56 teeth as
required by our World Tour teams

SHAPED DROPOUTROAD
COLLECTION

As far as the rear triangle is concerned, we havea new rear dropout designed with a special
outlined shape which prevents it from rotating
thereby guaranteeing greater reliability. Theinterchangeable part is cantilever, which allows
considerable space between the chain and thestays and avoids possible points of contact
between the chain itself and the stay. Everythingis compatible with wireless and semi-wirelessgroups.

W I L I E R .C O M#LOVEMYWILIERSEATPOST WITH LIGHT OR INTEGRATEDNUMBER HOLDER
We redesigned the seatpost with two possible
setbacks: 0° and -15°, both are equipped withtwo special holes for the installation of a rearlight or to affix race numbers.

MAXIMUM CONTROL

5ROAD

The first great difference compared to the Wilier
0 SLR was the change in reach. We focused onwhat the cyclist is most interested in. In otherwords their hand position in relation to thebottom bracket box. The result is a change inthe frame geometries and in the handlebar
geometries. The bike stack has remained
unchanged. Its reach on the other hand has
been slightly shortened for sizes XS and S,
while for sizes XL and XXL it has been extended
compared to our classic geometries.
As for the handlebar, we focused on positions
C0 and C1, the most performing for the athlete.
The main changes affect drop, reach, andhandlebar tilt angles. In particular, those of thehandlebar stem in relation to the fork sleeve,
which range from 7.5 to 10.5 degrees. We paid
particular attention to the distance between thebottom bracket and the high hand rest on thehandlebar, which we at Wilier have christened
as point C0 or ACCU-FIT.
For the Verticale SLR the biggest news is that
we have succeeded in achieving an even filling
range in space, even for the new position in
C1. This research and development process
was conducted in close partnership with theGroupama - FDJ Équipe Cycliste team. This
allowed us to deliver a product which, in termsof fitting, is suitable for all needs and any typeof rider.

W I L I E R .C O M#LOVEMYWILIERNEW INTEGRATED V BAR
The handlebar is in carbon monocoqueand features a brand-new design weighing
approximately 310 grammes.
The first thing that strikes you is the special shapewith differentiated handlebar width. If you lookat it from the front, the high grip on the controls
is narrower at the bottom. This particular shape
was devised to provide concrete solutions to theneeds of professionals, who season after season
scout for optimum aerodynamic solutions which
comply with the rules and standards set by theUCI.
There is a trend to narrow it while neverthelesshaving a wider low grip to guarantee better
handling, which is a key requirement whensprinting. The delta between the top and thebottom is 30 mm.

INTEGRATED CYCLOCOMPUTER MOUNT6WILIERPEDIA 2025
ROAD

The pursuit of a reduced overall handlebar
weight has led us to develop a purpose-designed
cyclocomputer mount stick, made entirely ofaluminium which, unlike its predecessors, fits
entirely in the handlebar.
It is secured thanks to two through holes whichhave enabled us to optimise weight further
compared to previous models.
At the rear, in the fork-sleeve handlebar stem
area, you can see that the tightening system isdifferent . The screws tighten on two aluminium
inserts, a solution that makes replacement easierin the tightening part, while also improving thedistribution of force on the composite part.
The rear of the stem is finished with a rubber
insert to prevent dirt and sweat from penetratingthe handlebar, thereby preserving its reliability
in the long run.

BRAKE SHEATH ROUTING
We also worked on the high part of the grip,
particularly as regards the routing of the brakesheaths.
The contact surface has been increased toimprove the passage of the sheath inside thehandlebar.
V-Bar, like the other monocoque handlebars
in the Wilier range, is also compatible with ourother premium bikes. It is available in 6 sizes, 2
with a width of 37/40mm, with 90 and 100mm
stems, 4 with a width of 39/42mm, with 110, 120,130 and 150mm stems.

ASYMMETRYCAL FORKCOLLECTION

The challenge was to improve the weight andperformance of an apparently simple component.
We retained the characteristic asymmetricalshape.
The sections on the rod housing the brakecalipers have been oversized, whereas the rightseat stay sections are lighter and thinner.
A new feature is the left fork stay which is twisted.
This shape is an improvement for two reasons:improved orientation of the carbon fibres during
rolling (to respond better to stresses) and theimproved resistance to forces exerted by thecalipers during braking. The Kamm tail gives thefork greater stiffness while improving the overall
feeling during braking.
We paid particular attention to the design ofthe fork crown. This transition zone between thestays and the fork sleeve is extremely delicate as
this is where very high levels of stress converge
when the bicycle is in use. We have a coneshaped crown which in itself is no novelty. For
the Verticale SLR our work focused on reachinga constructive compromise to achieve a crownthat is higher than the standard. This lends
greater mechanical continuity between the fork
sleeve and the fork crown.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of crankset
teeth which can be installed on theVerticale SLR?

How can I secure the cyclocomputer to theVerticale SLR?

How can I configure the handlebar if I don’t
want to install the cyclocomputer mount?

The new Verticale SLR features a derailleur support
that allows a chainring of up to 56 teeth to beinstalled. This allows cycling fans to customise thegear rations further to suit tie particular requirements
and riding preferences. However, it is advisable toconsult a specialist mechanic to make sure installation
is carried out correctly and safely.

To mount the cyclocomputer onto the Verticale SLR,
you need to use the dedicated cyclocomputer mountstick supplied by Miche. This mount was designed to
be fully integrated into the bike’ handlebar design
and is available to order using code: WVCICLOC.
It’s important to bear in mind that the mount iscompatible with both Garmin and Wahoo devices,
thereby offering flexibility and versatility in choosing
which cyclocomputer to use with your bike.

How many seatpost sizes are available forthe Verticale SLR?

ROADIs the Verticale SLR compatible with theother Wilier Triestina handlebars aside fromthe V BAR?

The Verticale SLR offers two seatpost options tochoose from: one with a 15° setback and the otherwith a 0° angle (seatback). This variety allows riders
to further customise their riding experience according
to their preferences and specific positioning needs.

COLLECTION

Yes, the Verticale SLR is compatible with all the otherhandlebars produced by Wilier Triestina. However, if
you want to install a handlebar other than the V BAR
supplied as standard, you must purchase the entire
pack of spacers to fit between the chosen handlebar
and the head tube on your bicycle. This ensures asecure and correct fit of the selected handlebar,
allowing riders to customise their Verticale SLR totheir riding and style preferences.

W I L I E R .C O M#LOVEMYWILIER

What are the main characteristics of V BAR?
The V BAR is the result of a modern design process
and is characterised by the optimisation ofgeometries, aimed at improving the points of contact
with the cyclist. This configuration offers several
benefits, including improved stability and control
while riding, a more comfortable hand position andimproved aerodynamics. In addition, the V BAR blends
seamlessly with the overall design of the Verticale SLR,ensuring a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The V BAR
has a differentiated width (3 cm overall) between thehooks area and the ends of the handlebar, allowing
for a tighter hand position when climbing and greater
stability downhill. The tilt angle of the handlebar ends
is in any case 0°.

The Verticale SLR is aimed primarily at cycling
professionals. Consequently, the bike can only beequipped with electronic shifting and disc brakes.
This design aims to deliver high level performanceand precision, ensuring a superior riding experiencethat is tailored to the needs of the most demanding
professional and amateur riders.

How do you attach the seatpost expander?
The seatpost expander is integrated into the bicycle
frame, specifically in the seat lug. The fixing screwis accessible and can be clamped via the seat tube.
This design ensures a solid and secure seatpost
fixing, helping to maintain the bike’s stability andstructural integrity while riding.

How many spacers can be placed between
the handlebar and the head tube?

What are the holes all along the back of theseatpost for?

14

There are two types of dropouts available for theVerticale SLR. One is the direct mount dropout,
whereas the other is the conventional dropout.
The direct mount dropout is only compatible withShimano groupsets, while the conventional dropout
is compatible with SRAM, Shimano and Campagnologroupsets. This variety allows cyclists to choose
the most suitable dropouts for their needs andpreferences in the transmission groupset.
The Verticale SLR can be cleaned using the samecleaning methods as other racing bikes. We
recommend the use of soft cloths, neutral detergent
and make sure the bike is completely dry before using
it. This will help keep the bike clean and in optimal
condition for riding.

In addition to the top spacer and top cover, additional
spacers can be positioned up to a maximum heightof 30 mm. However, it is important to note that theinstallation of multiple spacers can pose risks whileriding the bicycle. We recommend that you exercise
caution and consult an experienced mechanic toensure a safe and correct bike set-up.

The holes on the seatpost serve two main purposes:- They can be used to mount a rear light on thebicycle.
- They can be used to affix the number holder for use
during races.
This configuration allows cyclists to easily customise
their bike for their specific lighting and signallingneeds during everyday use or in competitions.
