Wilier set to launch new Zero SLR road bike
It looks like Italy’s Wilier is set to launch a new road bike, Groupama FDJ riders having been spotted riding an unannounced model in non-team graphics at the Critérium du Dauphiné. The bike has also been ridden in the past few days by FDJ's Lenny Martinez and David Gaudu in the Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes, a race that Martinez won.
Backing up this idea, frame tube profiles are round or nearly round throughout. The new bike has a narrow-diameter seat tube, a shallow seatpost, skinny seatstays, and a reasonably slim down tube. There are certainly none of the usual features we associate with aero road bikes, such as truncated airfoil shaping, a seat tube that's cutaway around the leading edge of the rear wheel, an integrated fork crown, deep-section seatpost, and so on.
If the bike we've seen today is an entirely new model, it'll be interesting to see whether Wilier keeps the Zero in its range. We've no idea whether this tech is a feature of the new model or whether Wilier has moved in a new direction.
