Wilier unveils new Rave SLR ID2 gravel race bike

Wilier Triestina has announced the launch of the Rave SLR ID2, a redesigned gravel race bike built for riders “seeking speed and competition." Developed in collaboration with elite gravel racers, including Ivar Slik, the ID2 is a performance-focused evolution of the original Rave SLR. Wilier claims aerodynamic refinements developed through wind tunnel testing can save over 50 seconds across a 70 km course at racing speeds (claimed 5.3 watts at 35 km/h). The new design also features clearance for 52 mm tyres, an improved stiffness-to-weight ratio, fully integrated hose routing, UDH dropout, and updated gravel geometry, promising sharp handling and strong acceleration.

Beyond performance, the Rave SLR ID2 is available in four distinct colourways: Pixel Green, Glitch Black, Neon Purple, and Byte Cream, which Wilier says are a nod to underground rave culture and digital design from the 1980s and 90s. Prices start at €4,400 with a GRX build and Miche Graff XL wheelset, and top out at €9,900 with a SRAM Red XPLR AXS 1x13 and Miche Graff Aero 48 wheelset.
