- Wilier Zero6 Super Record Road BikeThe peak of Wilier technology, the Zero6 frame is an incredibly lightweight 680 grams. The superbly strong and stiff 60TON carbon frame with a new mould and fibre layup from Mitsubishi Japan, a stylish and efficient Campagnolo Super Record drivetrain, smooth and fast Campagnolo Shamal Mille wheelset, with Ritchey and Selle Italia finishing kit, this Zero6 Super Record Road Bike is a performance-engineered road bike that needs to be raced on crits and open races Super-light Carbon FrameThe super-light carbon frame weighs just 680 grams. That’s a 15% weight saving over Wilier’s gold standard Zero7 frame. Equipped with integrated cables, an integrated fork, and supreme aerodynamic efficiency, the Zero6 Road Bike is a podium contender Features: æFrame:æCarbon Monocoque Fibre 60TON + Dialead æFork:æCarbon Monocoque Fibre 60TON + DialeadChainset:æCampagnolo Super Record 50/34TBB Shell: Campagnolo Super Record Press Fit æBrake/Shift Levers: Campagnolo Super Record æFront Derailleur:æCampagnolo Super Record, 11-speed æRear Derailleur: Campagnolo Super Record, 11-speed æCassette: Campagnolo Super Record, 11-speed, 12-27T æChain: Campagnolo Super Record æWheelset: Campagnolo Shamal Mille æTyres: Vittoria Rubino Pro 3 æBrakes: Campagnolo Super Record æHandlebar: Ritchey SuperlogicStem: Ritchey Superlogic æHeadset: Ritchey WCS æSaddle:æSelle Italia SLRSeatpost:æRitchey SuperlogicFrame Weight: 680g ± 5% (painted)Technologies:Carbon 60TON: To build a great monocoque carbon frame, Wilier looked for the perfect balance of stiffness, comfort and responsiveness at the lightest possible weight. Carbon fibre is an ideal material for bicycle frames because of its qualities of elasticity, capacity to withstand stresses, and its strength-to-weight ratio. The higher the modulus, the stiffer the composite. On the other end of the spectrum, the lower the modulus, the more elastic it will be. In the construction of this bike they implemented MR60H for stiffness in the critical stress areas where lateral stiffness equates to greater efficiency. Then used T800H and T700SC, with more elastic characteristics, to ensure comfort and sure-footed handling. Each was used as minimally as possible once our demanding strength and durability standards were met, ensuring the lightest weight frame possible. æIntegrated Cables: The plate through which the rear brake cable enters the top tube has been redesigned to permit passage of electronic wires if running an electronic group. This 2-in-1 plate is minimal, almost negligible in weight, and cleanly integrated into the frame. The same applies to the shifter cables (the front and rear derailleur in the mechanical version), which enter through a tiny plate on the downtube. The special internal design of this plate perfectly guides the cables inside the downtube, minimising friction and keeping the cables tense and perfectly straight up to the point where they cross over in the plate positioned underneath the bottom bracket. The shifter cables cross over outside of the frame on a cable guide plate, making it impossible to direct them the wrong way. When using an electronic group, the plate on the downtube is replaced by a blind plate, giving the frame a cleaner, more elegant look. The shape of the cable routing plate under the bottom bracket is specially designed to cross over the shifter cables with minimum friction and provide the perfect cable angle for the function of either shifter cable. We made sure that the rear derailleur cable is kept suspended inside the chainstays without touching its walls. In the derailleur however, it allows the cable to reach the attachment point to the derailleur at a natural angle. The cable guide plate is flush within the frame, which provides a smooth aerodynamic surface. This improves air flow over models using a traditional plate. æIntegrated Fork: To achieve greater riding stability and aerodynamic efficiency, Wilieräó»s technicians have focused their attention and research on the front end of the frame. They found that by repositioning the downtube and the top tube with respect to the headtube, the headtubeäó»s height virtually increases. The resulting virtual increase increases torsional stiffness by 14% over the same size frame in the previous version of the Zero7. With this new configuration, the down tube seamlessly integrates with the crown of the fork and generates an aerodynamic profile that reduces drag. The forkäó»s legs boast the same aerodynamic features as the TwinBlade and Cento1AIR models. The forkäó»s brake hole is hidden by the downtube which keeps it clean and well protected. The resulting new design also gives the front end improved aesthetics with simple, harmonious lines. æSwingarm: No joints, glue or screws: rear dropouts form a single unit with the lower part of the rear triangle. The joining section, usually constructed in aluminium, is also part of the carbon monocoque unit. All of this means gr eater lightness and stiffness. æ3D Derailleur Hanger: Wilier looks to every detail on their bikes to optimise performance and functionality, and their 3D Derailleur Hanger is evidence of this. Zero7 derailleur hangers are no longer merely there to facilitate the installation of the rear derailleur. They have assumed a third dimension of functionality, seamlessly integrating different systems while simultaneously serving as cable stops. For the new 3D Hangers, Wilier dramatically increased stiffness to ensure perfect shifting and improved durability. The new 2-in-1 derailleur hangers can be used with either mechanical or electronic groups. With a mechanical groupset, the cable stop is positioned closer to the derailleur itself. This enables a shorter length of housing from frame to derailleur, while still allowing for optimal cable arc-maximising rear derailleur smoothness and consistency. As with the Zero7äó»s internal cable routing through the downtube, this cable stop keeps the rear derailleur shift cable well-tensioned and centred within the stay for a silent and frictionless shift action. When using electronic groups, the design allows the electric wiring to pass through in the cleanest way possible. The internal electric routing is optimised as well, with the wiringäó»s point of exit positioned well above the dropout for quick and unencumbered wheel changes Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.

Wilier Video Reviews
Here’s a Wilier video from YouTube.
This Wilier Zero6 Super Record Road Bike 2018 review from the Road Bikes category is aimed to aid you when deciding which product is right for you.
Things to consider when buying cycling products
If you decide to buy a new bike for cycling, or even clothing, or parts, with products like Wilier Zero6 Super Record Road Bike 2018 there are a lot of options that you may consider, but before you buy one, make sure you spare some time to do proper research. Think about what exactly you are looking for and what you need it for. This article will help you get some best tips on how to select the right bike. Start by looking at the common bike types that suits you the best- hybrid, mountain, road, commuter or city. Next very important factor is your cycling goal. Think about the type of terrain you are going to ride the most, what is the distance you would like to cover and what exactly you want to achieve.
If you want to explore off road, then it is easy to narrow down your selection. You can simply hunt for a mountain bike with knobbly, wide tires, sturdy brakes, flat handlebar, suspension with shock absorption feature, which is ideal for unpredictable paths. Next you need to focus on how much suspension you exactly want. Now the next thing is the right wheel size that is suitable for you. You need sturdy, larger and stable wheels for smoother tracks.
In case you are spending fair amount of time on pavement, your selection criteria extends. Based on your objective, you may need a road bike, a hybrid or a commuter. You will see a lot of road bikes come with skinny and smooth tires along with a curved handlebar. It allows you to bent-over ideal for speed. Hybrids are known for providing stability as well as comfort through its thick tires with an upright position for riding and this helps you ride your bike easily through dirt packed tracks or city streets.
Commuter bikes are available in sturdy yet stylish models with fancy accessories. It has amazing utility features like fender mounts, racks etc.
Your selection entirely depends on how long, how hard and the location where you are going to ride.
Spare some time
Before you start hunting for a new bike, make sure you spend some doing research to avoid problems in future. You need plan right and buy right so do not rush into hasty decisions.
Budget a little more
Before you start shopping for your bike, consider the amount of money you can invest to accomplish your cycling goals. Then irrespective of the budget you have planned for, spare around two thirds of your budget to your bike. The remaining budget is for the accessories. Despite of the price range, you would need basic accessories like a pump, a helmet, bottle cages and a water bottle.
Gather information
The internet is flooded with information on different types of bikes along with detailed information regarding its parts and how they function. Do spend some time gaining knowledge about bike parts so that you understand the difference between different models, brands and frame materials etc.
This will help you buy your bike confidently.
Seek advice
If you know someone with good knowledge about cycling, or someone who had just purchased the bike, do not hesitate to seek advice as they can answer your questions and they will be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.
Check with the experts
A second opinion is always better and for this you can simply visit the local bike shop near you and you can get advice on the type of bike you can buy and the different models you can choose from that suit your needs.
Consider the fit first
Irrespective of whether you buy a top brand model or just an entry level bike, it can be a disaster if it doesn’t fit. You can consult the salesperson and he can help you buy the right size. Then work out 4 different adjustments like handlebar height, saddle position, seat height and the reach. It is always better to hunt for shop with trained staff as they will take perfect measurements, help you settle on multiple bikes and accordingly swap different parts to adjust your position. This service will certainly cost you a little more, so you need to plan your budget accordingly. Do not fall in prey to some retailers who often offer bikes in odd sizes at a discounted price.
Experiment with a lot of models
Bike shopping is certainly not like buying a house/car that you purchase after looking at the first model you come across. Yes, when you are riding an old bike since many years now, then a new bike is certainly going to make a difference for you. This is because now there is advancement in technology. It is better to try out different models before you get the right one.
Narrow down your bike search
Looking at a plenty of models can confuse you in the sense you may end up getting frustrated with your search. It is better to narrow your search to 3 models like Wilier Zero6 Super Record Road Bike 2018 along with your budget and the purpose of use. Once you narrow down your search, do not forget to take a test ride for 15-20 minutes or longer if possible. Before you take a test ride, make sure you check for fit adjustments and a tutorial briefing in about how the various operations of the bike.
You can simply reject even a perfect model, if you have to struggle stretching to get to the handlebar or you feel clumsy with the shifter that you may not have operated before.
Test the bike wearing the clothing you are going to use while cycling
It is always better to take test rides/bike fittings by putting on the same shoes, apparel which you normally prefer for rides. There can be difference in fit when you are wearing a pair of jeans than when you are in cycling shorts.
features
Take some time to think about your actual bike requirements and make sure you don’t fall in prey to something fancy or new that is being offered. Think if you need a bike that comes with disc brakes? Are you in need of electronic groupset? Is the bike equipped with rack mounts that you actually need? The answer to these questions can help you pay for what you need and ignore the things that you don’t.
Where to buy the bike from
The internet can help you buy stuff like game consoles, books etc., but for bikes it is always better to buy from a shop. A bike is something that you need to check for fits and other adjustments, accessories etc. It is something that you cannot order online without checking the bike. Make sure you buy from the shop that offers fitting service and help you in other bike adjustments.
Of course you will find the bikes quite cheaper when ordered online, but as a beginner it is always better to visit shop that sell different brands of cycles and provide first service free.
Look for personal service
There is no harm going for online shopping to gain the benefits of online discounts. But, ensure that you check for all the advantages that you actually need. Apart from fit sessions plus test rides, a shop will always make sure that you get proper assembling and they may also offer the one-time adjustment for free. It may include discounts on various accessories with your bike purchase.
Believe in your gut feelings
Although it is advisable that you take advice from experts and your friends, but after you consult the experts or friends, the final decision is up to you. Once you decide do not underestimate your gut feelings. Just believe in yourself and think about what you need and the salesman in the shop is there to guide based on your cycling requirements.
Now, when you take the final decision, simply click to read more reviews and get your bike. You will surely enjoy riding the bike as you had done a lot of research, planned your budget, consulted the experts and your final decision is based on a lot of factors that you considered. Now, it is the time to enjoy your ride and take good care of your bike. You can achieve your cycling goals as you have the right model in your hands to get going.
