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.
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.
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.
Like with all other top-end racing bikes, URTA SLR also features a lightweight carbon fiber 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 fiber handlebar also allows better vibration absorption, consequently reducing the physical wear caused by very demanding XCO/XCM courses.
The standard silicon chainstay is designed to dampen noises and absorb impact caused by the chain hitting the stay. In addition to providing great protection against scratches and impact, the chainstay protector is made to integrate seamlessly with the clean look of URTA SLR. The chain guide comes as standard. Its purpose is to prevent the chain from falling on bumpy terrains and is indispensable on top-range single-crown MTBs. Like the chainstay protector, it has been devised to integrate perfectly with the overall design of URTA SLR.
URTA SLR is made with HUS-MOD carbon fibre, the same type used for Wilier 0 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.
