New Italian beauty: Wilier Imperiale 2010


The latest bike from Wilier is inspired by a hybrid of the company's Tri-Crono time trial bike and popular Cento 1.

Some interesting features:
  • Soft curvaceousness of the downtube, shaped with a modified beak to help clean the residual air coming off the rotation of the front wheel.
  • Continuing compound curve along the sides of the headtube to also guide the air toward the rear of the frame. The top tube slopes away at a slight angle while tapering to a smaller cross-section, allowing the air from the headtube to smoothly flow through the legs and then to the rear.
  • The chainstays and seatstays both have trailing stabilizers on the rear of the tubes.
  • Asymmetric chainstays, oversized BB and integrated seatmast as in Cento 1.

Check out the beauty in the following reviews:
