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. Alabarda: The brand new monocoque integrated aero bar. This handlebar is a Wilier design, born to match perfectly the newŒæCento10 Air. The bar is designed following NACA algorithm, as the new Cento10 Air frame. The aero performance is at a very high level, every detail has been designed to make the wind disappear. Total Integration: Using their new integrated aero bar Alabarda, you are able to run shifter cables inside the frame. With Alabarda the only cables you will see are the brake cables. Aerodynamic Profile: There are 2 ways to design an aero profile: use a pencil on a white board or use NACA profiles. NACA means National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. It was born in the äóÖ30s and exploded in the äóÖ60s for a mathematical approach to the complex world of aerodynamics. The shapes of Wilier’s tubing were born following the NACA äóìalgorithmäó, and then adapted at different uses needed on a bike. By considering aerodynamics, weight, and UCI rules limitations, Wilier found the best compromise. The result is the newŒæCento10 AirŒæshape. The downtube, for example, is a NACA profile 0028, which is then cut following the Kamm Tail Theory: a high aero performance, light weight, increase torsional stiffness, and conforms with UCI rules. Impact Front: Another important point about aerodynamics is in the frontal areaäó»s footprint. As you can see, the front fork is much wider than usual, and the legs of the fork are farther from the wheel. This design helps to reduce turbulence of the air flowing through the bike, with less pressure and less drag ŒæWhen compared with the Cento1 Air,Œæthe Cento10 AirŒæhas 2.86% more frontal area, but has an 8% improved aerodynamics efficiency. Direct Mount Brakes: The wider fork and rear stays allows the use of direct mount brakes. This type of brake offers more power and better modulation when braking, and of course, more clearance for tyres up to 28mm. This kind of brake matches better with the design and the function of the frame. Balanced Design: Like other recent Wilier frames, also Cento10 Air utilises a balanced design. This solution brings small differences on tube sizing. Every tube of every frame size, from XS to XXL – has different diameters. Balanced design makes any frame perfect and balanced compared to its size. BB Shell:ŒæCento10 Air uses a standard 86 5x41mm Press Fit BB shell. Asymmetric Rear Stays: The drive-side chainstay has been designed to better facilitate the forces applied to it by the actuation of the drivetrain, providing enhanced stability and ultra-efficient power transfer. Dropout: A new two-hole dropout; the dropout follows the latest Wilier projects with 2-in-1 technology. This dropout works for both drivetrain systems, electronic and mechanic Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.

    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.

    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 Cento 10 Air (Chorus – 2018) 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.
