Wilier Verticale SLR – The Lightest and Most Advanced Climbing Bike

Italian Excellence for the Mountains

The Wilier Verticale SLR is Wilier’s lightest and most technologically refined road bike to date. Designed specifically for climbing and high-mountain performance, it delivers unprecedented lightness and control. With a frame kit (frame, fork, seatpost, and handlebar) weighing only 1623 g—a 9.73% reduction compared to the previous 0 SLR—this bike is engineered to dominate steep ascents and demanding alpine stages.

High-Tech Carbon Construction

The Verticale SLR uses an advanced blend of Toray carbon fibers (T800, T1100, and M46 JB) to deliver an extraordinary stiffness-to-weight ratio. This ensures maximum power transfer, incredible responsiveness, and uncompromising stability in technical descents.

Key Technical Innovations

All-New V-Bar Integrated Handlebar

With a weight of around 310 grams, this monocoque carbon handlebar features a unique shape: narrower tops for better aerodynamics and wider drops for control in sprints. Its updated internal cable routing improves both ergonomics and efficiency.

Advanced Seatpost Design

Available in 0° and -15° setback options, the Verticale SLR’s seatpost can integrate a race number holder or rear light. The redesigned clamp system is lighter and enhances frame integrity.

Front Derailleur Redesign

The front derailleur is no longer fixed but repositionable, allowing compatibility with both compact (50/34, 53/39) and larger chainring setups (up to 56T), as preferred by pro teams.

Optimized Geometry for Pro-Level Fit

Compared to the 0 SLR, the Verticale SLR features a revised reach per frame size, improving rider positioning while maintaining overall stack. This geometry supports aggressive climbing and technical descending with confidence.
