WILIER Usma SLR XT 1X12 966 Kashima

STRAIGHTENS OUT YOUR DAY!

USMA SLR is the new competition hardtail MTB that joins URTA SLR in Wilier Triestina's high-end offroad offerings.Lightweight, modern, simple, easy to handle both mechanical assistance and suspension settings; USMA SLR was created to give a very specific answer to riders who are clamoring for an offroad product for racing.

EXTREME LIGHTNESS

Lightness is one of the two key characteristics around which the design was developed. We know how much effort goes into climbing and how super-light materials help in racing and in general to save watts.
USMA SLR's frame weighs only 850 grams, a decidedly interesting platform that will enable super bikes to be set up.

SHORT CHAIRCASE

In order to make the bike nimble and responsive, the rear carriage is very short, only 425 mm in wheelbase but with a wheel passage that still allows the use of tires up to 60 mm (2.4").

PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRIES

USMA SLR has modern, advanced geometries designed on a 100 mm travel fork.

FLUIDITY IS SPEED

There is a motto that says "flow is fast" > "flow is speed." This is what the rider will experience riding USMA SLR, and if you wanted to find a single adjective to define USMA SLR you could say balanced: light and responsive on the uphill, easy and fast on the downhill.

CARBON HUS-MOD

The carbon used for USMA SLR is the same as that found in top-of-the-line road products: the HUS-MOD carbon, a mix of the highest quality fibers to which links with very high-strength multidirectional fibers are added. To keep in check the stress generated by off-road use, the USMA SLR frame was designed with special care and attention in the intersections between tubing, which were reinforced. Still on the subject of tubing, the shapes are particularly rounded, an ideal solution for having an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio.

INTEGRATED MONOCOQUE HANDLEBAR

As with its bi-axle sister URTA SLR, USMA SLR can come equipped with integrated carbon monocoque handlebars. Doing so creates an assembly integral with the rest of the frame using dedicated shims, increasing comfort and improving the aesthetic cleanliness of the cockpit. Cable routing: we have two simple holes on the head tube that allow the passage of the brake sheathing, rear derailleur and post dropper, integrating the cables inside the frame.

ANGLES

Regarding angles, we have a 75° seat tube that allows the rider to be in a correct position to always be pushing. Moving to the front, the headset is 67.75°. This value, coupled with the 430 mm reach (for size M) and an increased BB drop allow the USMA SLR rider to be centered on the bike, with a low center of gravity. A configuration that can make a difference on the descent because the rider will be able to rely on increased stability and a feeling of security, conditions necessary to make speed when the trail slopes downward.
