The Wilier Rave SLR ID2 Force XPLR E1 is what happens when one of cycling's oldest frame builders applies full-scale aerodynamic engineering to a gravel race bike. Wilier Triestina has been building bikes in Bassano del Grappa, Italy since 1906, and the Rave SLR platform carries that pedigree directly into the most competitive segment in cycling right now. The original Rave SLR won at Serenissima Gravel, Traka 200, and Unbound Gravel. The ID2 is faster — 8.9% less aerodynamic drag than its predecessor, worth 5.3 watts at 35km/h — and it's built to keep winning.

The second-generation frameset was developed with full 3D modelling and CFD, and every detail reflects a clear obsession with speed. The NACA-profiled down tube is widened specifically to shield water bottles from the airstream. The fork design is drawn from Wilier's Supersonica SLR road bike, with wide stays optimised for larger tires. Cabling is fully integrated. And the frame is built exclusively for 1x drivetrains — there's no front derailleur option — both to reduce weight and to clean up the aerodynamic profile. Tire clearance grows to 52mm, up 10mm from the original Rave SLR, opening the door to wider tires that roll faster on rough ground and absorb vibration without giving back the bike's inherent speed.
What makes the ID2 structurally distinctive is Wilier's balanced design approach: stiffness targets are set independently for each size from XS to XXL, and every tube is engineered accordingly. The XS rider and the XXL rider each get a frame tuned for their weight, power, and load — not a geometrically scaled version of the same tube set. The high-module SLR carbon — incorporating HUS Mod carbon and Liquid Crystal Polymer in the layup — comes in at a claimed 990g for the painted frame. The geometry is race-oriented throughout: a size M runs 70.8° head angle, 75° seat angle, 561mm stack, and 387mm reach, with a compact wheelbase designed for rapid acceleration and precise handling on technical…
