RACING GEOMETRIES
URTA SLR geometries revamp the off-road riding style of Wilier Triestina high-end products. A shorter triangle combined with a 69° steering angle make it compact, fast and balanced, thus improving performance both up the steepest climbs and down the most technical descents.
Designed to obtain better traction as well as excellent progressive response, URTA SLR also offers an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio to ensure rapid accelerations and better responsiveness to sudden changes of direction.
INTEGRATED SHOCK ABSORBER
URTA SLR has been designed for 190x45 rear shock absorbers with 100 mm progressive travel. For optimum kinematic performance, the choice has fallen upon the Fox Factory DPS FLOAT 190x45 whose optimized compression curves make it possible to work in perfect synergy with the frame. In addition to improving the clean look of the URTA SLR, link integration increases the torsional stiffness of the rear triangle.
URTA BAR INTEGRATED MONOCOQUE HANDLEBAR
Like with all other top-end racing bikes, URTA SLR also features a lightweight carbon fibre monocoque handlebar. It is a solution that treats the frame/handlebar system as a single highly integrated module, making it also possible to cut down the total weight of the bike. The carbon fibre handlebar also allows better vibration absorption, consequently reducing the physical wear caused by very demanding XCO/XCM courses.
DOUBLE BOTTLE HOLDER
URTA SLR is equipped by design with a double bottle holder. It is a necessary choice to limit the number of water stops the rider makes mid-race or during longer and more intense training.
IMPROVED STIFFNESS
The triangle has been designed using active swing arm technology, a solution that most efficiently combines vertical flexibility and in-plane torsional stiffness. This allows for even greater shock absorption as well as a more rapid and efficient response of URTA SLR to the power delivered by the rider in any situation. Furthermore, the higher pivot point and the shock absorber integration system add further stiffness to the rear triangle.
MONOCOQUE CARBON FIBER
URTA SLR is made with HUS-MOD carbon fiber, the same type used for Verticale SLR and Filante SLR. The perfect stiffness and the prompt reactivity of URTA SLR are features that derive from the know-how that Wilier Triestina has gained over the years by working in close contact with professionals of the World Tour circuit and Wilier-Pirelli Factory Team.
100MM SUSPENSION FORK
URTA SLR mounts FOX 34 STEP-CAST FACTORY KASHIMA forks, top range products with 100 mm travel. This solution makes it possible to reduce the overall weight of the bicycle because the frame is optimised to ensure maximum performance of the 100 mm fork. Locking and unlocking can be adjusted using the remote control installed on the handlebar.
FLAT MOUNT BRAKES
The brake callipers mounted on URTA SLR are standard flat-mount, the same as the ones used on racing bikes. Flat-mount brakes guarantee the same braking power as the traditional post-mount brakes for cross country cycling. The absence of the typical post-mount bridge provides the rear chain stays with more balanced flexion to the left and to the right.
