WILIER RAVE SLR SRAM FORCE AXS XPLR
The Wilier Rave SLR is a gravel racer's bike, featuring a sub-kilo frame weight, "all-road" builds as well as more gravel-oriented variants, a short headtube, and tight rear geometry. On the downside, the Rave SLR's racy design means it can only accept tyres up to 42mm, which means it's better suited to faster, smoother gravel than gnarlier trails.
That includes Wilier's split stem bars, which limit mounting places for bags and a computer, emphasizing the Rave SLR's preference for quick riding - which it excels at - over carrying extras. At the high end of the gravel bike market, it competes with the Cervelo Aspero and the Specialized Crux.
