Stefan Küng
A specialist in time trials and cobbled Classics, Stefan Küng's list of achievements is so extensive that he hardly needs any introduction. At 30, the tall Swiss rider is already a five-time Swiss national champion, two-time European champion, two-time world champion in the mixed relay, and Vice-Champion in the individual world race. On the road, he finished third in Paris-Roubaix in 2022 and 5th in 2023. With just a few months to go before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, he is one of the serious medal contenders and is carrying the very high ambitions of his Groupama-FDJ team and the whole of Switzerland. In 2024, after winning the Swiss national time trial championship, Stefan Küng claimed his first stage victory in a Grand Tour at the Vuelta a España. His season was further highlighted by a fifth-place finish at Paris-Roubaix and a double top-ten performance at the Paris Olympics, where he ranked among the top ten in both the road race and the individual time trial.
Valentin Madouas
At just 19, Valentin Madouas was crowned French Amateur Champion. Having long been spotted by the "Cycle Formation" scouting programme of the time, Valentin joined the Groupama-FDJ cycling Team in 2018 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. Winner of Paris-Bourges in his first year as a professional, 13th in the Giro d'Italia in 2019, he established himself in 2022 as one of the best puncheurs of his generation by finishing on the podium in Ronde van Vlaanderen. The year 2023 was one of consecration: Valentin became French Champion after an incredible display of strength, and a few weeks later won his first World Tour Classic: the Bretagne Classic. Crowning Valentin's growth in 2024 came one of his most important achievements: the silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
Ivar Slik
Ivar Slik, 31 years old, fell in love with cycling as a child. After ten years in professional road cycling, in continental and pro continental teams, he decided to take on a new challenge becoming Wilier Triestina's gravel ambassador. Early in his career, Ivar took part in both road and mountain bike races. As a professional he ran in the historic Tour of Flanders and in other races of the World Tour scene, before competing in beach races on a mountain bike, where he was crowned European Champion in 2021, and then ultimately settling into the world of gravel. In 2022, Ivar triumphed at the Traka in Girona and was also the first non-American to win Unbound 200. A historic result achieved together with his Rave SLR.

SPECIAL COLOURS
A colour, our identity
- F8 Ramato
Filante SLR
Starting from 9.400,00 €
When he saw it, Dal Molin just couldn’t believe his eyes. The model was called Speciale Corsa – of the Giro d’Italia kind. The frame was identical to the one used by the Wilier Triestina racing team riders captained by Giordano Cottur, but it was in an exclusive colour. Daring, stylish, unprecedented.
Unico
Where art meets performance
Sporting performance and art may seem to be opposing worlds. On the one hand physical effort, sweat and competition. On the other, inspiration, creativity, introspection and a dash of madness.
But there's something very strong shared by two such different disciplines: total dedication.
Athlete and artist share passion--very strong and always alive--and consistent commitment over time. Without these basic ingredients, there would be no top-level sport, nor art worthy of note. That's why we have tried to get sport and art to communicate. Unico is the result.
Koralie
Koralie was born in Provence, just a stone’s throw away from the enchanting medieval town of Aigues Mortes, and studied in the exciting university town of Montpellier, a cultural melting pot where young people are encouraged to express themselves through art.
Drawing from her Provençal roots, Koralie’s Wilier 0 SLR Unico frame is an ode to cycling along France’s iconic coastline, enjoying a foretaste of the “Giant of Provence”, the fascinating Mont Ventoux, whose white-stone summit can be admired in all its glory from Aigues Mortes on bright sunny days.

Jun Inoue
This is Jun Inoue's art.
As old as the aura of a shrine yet as contemporary as a human swarm that moves along the lines that lead into and out of the vastness that is Greater Tokyo.
Just a little further is the future and Jun Inoue is able to follow it with his art, day after day. His contemporary works contain all the wisdom of the past and this is why, in a completely different field and by analogy, they call to mind Shimano components.
