Is the Wilier Rave SLR one of the most versatile road or gravel bikes in the history of the storied Italian manufacturer? Both. The Rave SLR is both a full-fledged road bike and a full-fledged gravel bike. If someone wants to use it as a gravel bike, choose gravel equipment, and if you want to use it as a road bike, then choose a road bike.
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 Rave SLR is a light, disc brake, HUS-MOD + Liquid Crystal ultra high modulus carbon frame ready to race road and gravel bike. The frame of the Rave SLR weighs only 950 grams on the scale in size M, which makes it one of the very light gravel-based frames in the peloton.
Quality carbon frame, excellent equipment and beautiful Italian design.
Rave SLR + Ultegra Di2 2x12 + Miche Carbon 36: Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 electric component family, Ritchey's aluminum cockpit, and Miche's Kleos 36 Carbon wheels complement each other well. The equipment of the Wilier Rave SLR is also worthy of the reputation of the legendary lily manufacturer, for everyone who is committed to high quality.
