Wilier Adlar Shimano GRX 1x12

Dare to adventure

Every cyclist, while pedaling, experiences a real rite of passage. The starting state is never the same as the arrival state. Beyond the perception of fatigue, one changes inside and at the same time changes the vision of the world around. to us. Every adventure is an evolution. Adlar was born from this tension. The bike as a means to give the right meaning to things and clarify the vision of the world. An object that at the same time changes, alters and transforms. And it is not maybe this is the definition of gravel?

We looked at our bikes. Rave SLR: the competition. Jena, Jaroon and Jareen: multipurpose bikes equipped with different frames in carbon fiber, steel and aluminum respectively. We understood that gravel is also and increasingly adventure, a more or less conscious way to capture its forms and relative meanings through travel. Climbs, descents, encounters, hours and hours spent in the saddle in total autonomy without the rush of maximum time. Alone or in company.

Maximum load

35 kg Adlar is dedicated to bikepacking, explorers, and cycle travellers. The carbon fibre frame structure has been reinforced to the point of allowing for an additional maximum load of 35 kg. We have combined this quality with new shapes, careful study of geometry and fully integrated cable routing.

Something different

The frame weighs 1,100 g and is available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL. The geometry comes from mountain biking: the horizontal development of the frame triangle (reach) is quite pronounced. This solution allows for the use of a shorter handlebar stem that works in synergy with an open steering angle (70°). An evolution that provides ease of handling and control on the most challenging trails with a loaded bike.

Ready for change

The generous wheel clearances can accommodate any 52 mm gravel tire (52-622) up to 29 x 2.00 '' mountain bike tires. The frame has been designed to accommodate a fork with particularly long chainstays. A configuration that facilitates the installation of a suspension fork (maximum travel of 40 mm compatible with a 1" 1/4 - 1" 1/2 tapered headset) without changing the overall geometry of the frame. Furthermore, on the right fork leg there is a hole for the passage of the cable of a possible dynamo hub. The 27.2 mm seat post can also be replaced with a telescopic system.
