Description
The Wilier Rapida is the newest road bike from Wilier Triestina, and it is built for riders who want real speed without a pure race position. Contact us to check sizing, book a test ride or reserve one in your colour.
Wilier designed the Rapida around a simple idea: speed does not have to be extreme to be real. As a result, it keeps the brand’s racing character in the way it handles, yet its stack sits exactly halfway between Wilier’s pure race bikes and its endurance range. If you want a sharper race fit, look at the Wilier Filante SL iD2 aero bike or the lightweight Wilier Zero SL climber. That means it is fast and stable, and it stays comfortable even after a long day in the saddle.
Shimano 105 Di2 build
The Rapida comes in one complete build. Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 12-speed electronic shifting pairs a 50/34T crankset with an 11-34T cassette, so you get a wide gear range for climbs and fast group rides. Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes with 160/140 mm rotors give consistent stopping in all weather. In addition, the new Miche Asfalto 45 carbon wheelset adds aero speed, and Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V 32c tyres keep it smooth on rough Victorian roads. Claimed weight is 8.4 kg (+/- 5%).

Why ride the Wilier Rapida?
Most riders do not need a stretched-out race bike, and they also do not want a slow, upright one. The Wilier Rapida fills that gap. For example, it suits fast weekend bunch rides, long Beach Road loops and events like Around the Bay. Meanwhile, the wider tyre clearance means you can take the long way home on a rougher road. If you want to go further off road, the Wilier Rave SLR iD2 is a full gravel race bike.
Compare the Rapida with other endurance road bikes and race and aero road bikes in our range. You can also spread the cost with Studio19 rent-to-buy, and protect the matte finish with RideWrap frame protection.
Every bike we sell is built and fitted in our workshop, and it includes our free first-year fit adjustments and follow-up service. Browse the full Wilier range or see our service and repairs page for ongoing care. When it is due for a tune, book a bike service online.
A Perfect Blend
Wilier set out to find the exact point where speed and distance meet. The riding position keeps a racing feel, but it does not punish you on long days. Therefore the Rapida is fast, stable and easy to live with.
Room for Any Road
With clearance for tyres up to 36 mm, you no longer have to choose between smooth tarmac and a gravel shortcut. The bike adapts to the surface and gives you a secure, planted feel.
Clean Integration
Every cable runs inside the one-piece carbon bar and frame. Together with the NACA airfoil tubes, this gives the Rapida a clean, modern look that is easy to spot in any bunch.
Three Colourways
Choose from Dusk Grey Matte, Weekend White Glossy or Lastlight Black Matte, in sizes XS to XXL.
