Italians have played a major role in shaping the development of road bikes. The big MTB trends, on the other hand, have always come from the USA. The USMA MAX SLR is an aesthetic hardtail at the height of the times. But it can't set new trends. Wilier is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Racebike von Wilier, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. In the price range under 8000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 6200 Euro Wilier delivers an extremely good fork.
