Wilier Blade Athena (11 Speed) 2013

The Wilier Blade is made using the same manufacturing mould as the Wilier's Twin Blade machine, but made with different carbon composition and fitted with a more conventional bladed fork.

The brake and cable housing are routed internally for optimal aerodynamics with the Blade utilising a standard front brake while benefiting from their hidden Twin Blade V-style rear brake solution. These options incorporated into the Blade model enable Wilier to offer customers many of the cutting edge performance benefits of the Twin Blade at a lower cost.

The rear brake assumes the aerodynamic lines of the frame, positioned below the chainstay at the bottom bracket. It is housed in a carbon cover which encases the caliper and cables, hiding the complete assembly from the wind.

Campagnolo's 11 speed Athena groupset is present throughout this machine and gives the rider total reliability in its performance as the shifting is quick and quiet. With plenty of gears available, 22 in fact, and with the double chainset with its 53x39 ring combination, you'll have plenty to choose from from especially for high end speed.

The bars and brake levers are from Vision's range of TT accessories allowing you to tuck down into a low position and be as aerodynamic as possible so saving vital seconds in your race.

The seat post is full carbon and completely aero. It uses Wilier's Internal Seat Post Binder Assembly which means that its fully integrated and housed within the frame, hiding it completely from the wind for optimal aerodynamics.

Fulcrum Red Wind aero 50mm wheels will also propel you further and faster once up to speed, but having a alloy braking surface means these can be used when the weather is wet. These wheels are clinchers and come fitted with a pair of Ritchey Race Slick tyres.

Each Blade is fully built, tested and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure you're bike arrives in perfect condition.
