Wilier Adlar GRX 1x12 2026

Wilier Adlar – The Carbon Gravel Born for Adventure

The Wilier Adlar is more than a gravel bike: it’s a carbon explorer, sturdy and unstoppable, designed for those eager to load their bags and set off.

The Adlar is Wilier’s answer to a gravel bike that is increasingly synonymous with travel and bikepacking. Thanks to its reinforced monocoque frame, it combines the lightness of carbon fiber with the robustness needed to tackle the most demanding expeditions.

Ready to Load, Ready to Go

Forget load limits. The Adlar was built for total autonomy:

• Maximum Load 35 kg: The Carbon Monocoque NHU-MOD frame has been reinforced to support an additional maximum load of 35 kg, ensuring total reliability on every route.

• Smart Mounting Points: It features numerous bottle cage mounts (including under the down tube) and top tube bag mounts, guaranteeing stability and unlimited loading options.

• Innovative Structural Solutions: Optional rack mounts (sold separately) transfer the weight directly to the through axles, reducing structural stress on the carbon.

Performance and Control Inspired by Off-Road

The Adlar doesn’t sacrifice handling for stability; on the contrary:

• MTB-Style Geometry: The geometry is derived from the mountain bike world, with an open head angle (70°) that, combined with a shorter stem, ensures exceptional control and stable riding on technical trails, even fully loaded.

• Huge Tire Clearance: The generous tire clearance accommodates gravel tires up to 52 mm (700x52c) and aggressive MTB tires 29” x 2.00”, giving you the freedom to tackle any terrain.

• Upgrade Ready: The frame is compatible with installing a suspension fork (max 40 mm) and a dropper post, and includes internal cable routing for an optional dynamo hub.

E437GMD Setup: The Reliable Choice

This configuration is equipped with the SHIMANO GRX 1x12 speed groupset, a symbol of gravel reliability:

• Single Chainring Drivetrain: Simplicity and durability with the 40T single chainring up front.

• Wide Gear Range: The 10-45T cassette offers the right gear to conquer the steepest climbs and most technical sections, while maintaining good speed on transfers.

• Strong Braking: The Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes provide modulated and consistent stopping power in all conditions.

       If adventure is your destination, the Wilier Adlar is your ride.
