The little brother of Wilier's all-time best hardtail MTB model (Usma SLR). The Wilier Usma SL is a significantly more affordable version of the latest stiff-tail premium MTB performance from the legendary manufacturer. Dreamed of racing, striving for perfection, a lightweight off-road bike that (also) clearly stands out from its competitors with its Italian design culture.
Carbon fiber fabrics can be grouped in two ways. We can categorize according to tissue density and their types. There are classic crocheted (e.g. 1K, 3K, 12K) fabrics, and there are unidirectional, i.e. non-crocheted UD (unidirectional) fabrics.
The other grouping point is that a carbon fiber fabric has a high modulus, is strong, or is capable of high resistance. The former are very stiff and light, the latter are extremely resistant and more flexible. You cannot build a frame that is light, rigid and suitable for racing at a serious level without the dominant use of the former! However, without the latter, frame production does not exist.
Wilier works with Mitsubishi carbon and its own developed premium fabrics, and it uses fabrics jointly dreamed up with several manufacturers.
HUS-MOD: One of the best quality carbon fabrics made exclusively for Wilier. The 65TON hyper high modulus carbon fabric supplemented with Liquid Crystal technology is always stiff when it is most needed, but can also offer comfort when appropriate. A unique development from a unique manufacturer.
NH-MOD/NHU-MOD: The carbon fabric of the NH-MOD and NHU-MOD represents an unparalleled balance of performance and comfort for everyone. A high degree of rigidity and comfort - above all, the reality of perfect synergy characterizes this product.
60TON: Mitsubishi's 60TON carbon fabric represents an exceptional balance of performance and lightness for all cyclists. It is also characterized by excellent rigidity and good vibration absorption.
46TON: Mitsubishi's all-in-one multifunctional carbon fabric. Adequate stiffness and exceptional comfort were the focus of the design work.
The Wilier Usma SL is a high end NHU-MOD + High Impact Strength high modulus carbon frame XCO/XCM hardtail MTB bike with 29" wheels.
Characteristics: UDH Dropout, BOOST standard, MUD Protector and unique integrated cabling. Quality carbon frame, excellent equipment and beautiful Italian design.
Usma SL + Rock Shox + XT 1x12 + Miche: Shimano's XT 1x12 mechanical parts family, Rock Shox's SID BSE SL 100mm travel fork, Ritchey's aluminum cockpit, and Miche's XM45 wheels complement each other well. The equipment of the Wilier Usma SL also lives up to the reputation of the legendary lily manufacturer.
