That dark green stripe on the down tube tricked me for one second I thought this bike got external cables the 2010 style.

Nice, balanced review. The paint job is striking and gorgeous.

I find that a stretch to imagine when it’s always the top tier 10k frames that have a wait list, while the cheap 3-5k stuff are aplenty. The new dogma F just released and there is already a wait list. It’s so bad that ppl even resort to parallel importing stuff because the new stuff are always in high demand.

I mean, that could be applied to any industry. There are people making very expensive things because they have very high costs to produce / engineer the best on the market. Then there are people coming to the scene BECAUSE they can sell very expensive things and not because they are doing something special. These companies are parasites. When someone pours their passion, design genius, and engineering into something then fair game- let it be expensive. But there are too many bike companies ripping off other designs and trying to ask for the same money...in this case- let it burn to the ground haha. But the world needs things that are awesome

Much appreciated!

Such a nice review David

Looks great, David. I love the new Willier as it presents as more of a pure climbing bike. Even the XXL, with a slightly shorter top tube than I like, would suit me. And like you; I would opt for the velvet red as well!

I ordered the red Wilier Verticale for February 2025👍👍! Can‘t wait to ride it! 😊

@@davidarthur Hope so. I‘ll pay 9000€ for it, with Ultegra Di2

Kind of like the green. Reminds me of a Cannondale I had years ago. It is a bit pricey. A new Yamaha MT 09 (900CC) motorcycle is $10,600

Really good review. Again like the Pino very over priced, I’ve just bought a lovely bike, about a kilo heavier with Ultegra Di2 for a quarter of the cost!! Will a late 50’s cyclist like myself really notice the difference?? But oh that “Hulk Green” colour! 😍 Probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it. There’s just something about Wilier that no other brand seems to have? I liked the old one you reviewed with the “Adam’s Apple”. PLEASE David can you review your trusty Wahoo Roam 2 that you keep going back to? It’s in nearly every review.

Love it! Great colour and am a fan of the Hulk! We happen to be a Willier dealer as well! I wonder what the trade price is? 🤔💚

Never mind the bike, I like your off-the bike attire. You should do a vid about it sometime. 👍

A speed ball! Stunning colour...🎉

Nice review. Are you going to review the Bianchi Speciallisima RC, David? That's another Italian lightweight superbike I'd be very curious to get your take on.

How does this compare to the Addict RC pro?

You should have used the bike you reviewed the other week when you were beating PB's without even trying 😂🤣.

the paint detail from the head tube to the downtube looks like painted-on shifter cables

Please let the green bike and question boards be a nod to the the old Top Gear Ford Fiesta test 😂

Not sure but soon hopefully

A Tarmac SL8 also weight 6.6kg in size 56, but with deep aero wheels (roval rapide) or even 6.5kg with the new roval rapide team. The Wilier is still stunning and a great bike!

the tendency to include lights in the seat post - "for safety", no doubt (where's the front one, then?) - is disappointing in a couple of new bikes. Just another way to tie you into OEM products, I reckon. Still, the bike looks great and I personally love the color. I was holding out for a PR if not a KOM!

Gearing seems tough for a climbing bike - only 30 at the back right?

😂😂😂What's outrageous is the price! 😂😂😂

hope it comes in other colors because that color will get old really fast.

Did you measure that 6.6kg naked weight or is that claimed? If so that’s the lightest “real weight” current bike I’m aware of

Out of my price range !!!!.😏🇦🇺

Hulk Green. More like Kermit. It is not to my taste.

I feel like i should hate colour....like who buys a green bike .... its absolutely gorgeous.... would i be brave enough to buy this colour over other colours available.... not sure

The colour is spot-on, but I own a bright green OPEN U.P. so I could be biased. In fact I've had 5 green bikes over the years.

It looks fancy but the price 😂

Wow, Wilier does it again -often the most elegant lkg of them all. I think the Mkg dept. is getting a bit stodgy, so I propose they rename this the Mountain Do (Dew), lol, Dad jokes for days here :)

Outrageous price. Hideous colours, what they playing at. Bike looks like an absolute weapon though fair play.

6.6kg is a very healthy weight, other bike manufacturers should pay attention. Did this bike accelerate any quicker than heavier bikes?

@YannickLB

Ай бұрын

Acceleration is mostly a rim weight thing. light wheels will make any bike accelerate fast.

Nice to hear what the bike weighs without pedals. Being an average rider like most of us. Thx

Not if that POS Cav is aboard. Not even this gem could help him get over a speed bump or highway pass.

The issue on price with Wilier is import due because they import their frames from China and have to pay a duty. Apparently Italy is now in China lol. Green handlebars look so naff. Handlebars and saddle should be black.

Lose the discs and get the price and weight down, you won't notice the difference. Gorgeous looking bike, love the colour.

Instead of calling the color "Hulk Green" they should've just called it "Greeeen"

Very generic frame design. A carbon copy of the Canyon Ultimate. Strip away the paint and nobody can tell the brand or model.

Italian bikes should be red 😂

The S-Works Tarmac is the Porsche 911 of the bike world. They’re great bikes, no arguing that, but they’re not really exciting to me because they’re kind of everywhere. If I see one of these, it’s kind of exciting because it’s something different. Would I buy one? Nah but I appreciate that they’re out there.

The prices are ridiculous.

Hmmm… for that price I’d buy a motorcycle 😢

Looks like all of the other top spec bikes....I'll pass.

My Cannondale CAAD 10 also weighs 6,8 kg but costs 10x as less as a modern race bike. It is also aerodynamically equivalent to an Aethos. I see no point of spending 10 times more money on a Carbon bike that is more fragile, harder to maintain disc brakes😂 those modern bikes need 30mm fat tires to compensate that stiffness! a rim brake bike with 23mm tire is almost equally as comfortable and much faster👍 I don’t see a dedicated road bike in todays bike industry. The bike is only as good as the person who is riding it after all, and good bikes are able to keep its rider comfortable so they can maintain performance.

ignorance at its best.... 23m tires! get otta here

@Lauriieton

Ай бұрын

Just complete malarkey, 23mm tires are significantly slower than 28-32mm tires (especially if the wider tires are on wide rims), this has been tested over and over again. Just because you're old doesn't mean the things you've been riding for 30 years are the gold standard, they're far from it. Ignorance is not bliss - refer to data not intuition. I ride a 2017 rim brake Supersix, I love it, but I'm under no illusion that I wouldn't benefit from a more aerodynamic frame with wider tires. Worth the cost? Not unless you're very well off or a professional, but the same can be said for Ferrari's, just because I'm not the target demographic doesn't mean it's existence is unjustified.
