Supersonica SLR Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9270 2x12sp

The Supersonica SLR is Wilier’s current top-tier time trial and triathlon platform, developed as a clean-sheet replacement for the Turbine SLR and brought to market for the 2025 model year. Its defining feature is not just aerodynamic shaping, but a highly integrated rider-interface system built around position optimization. Wilier designed the bike to serve both UCI-constrained time trial use and more aggressive triathlon setups, with a cut-to-fit integrated seatmast, a saddle-rail arrangement that can accommodate either legal setback or a farther-forward position, and a cockpit architecture that supports custom extensions made from forearm scans as well as Profile Design-compatible solutions.

This generation is also notable for the extent to which Wilier treats the bike as a complete aerodynamic system rather than only a frame. The dedicated 550 ml hydration solution, removable front-derailleur mount and cover, and anti-rotation steering assembly all point to a platform intended to be configured precisely for event type and rider preference. Wilier cites a roughly 16% aero-efficiency improvement over the previous Turbine SLR in its own comparative wind-tunnel testing, and the published frame details—1450 g claimed for the frame and 550 g for the fork—show that the priority is outright speed and integration rather than chasing the lightest possible chassis. In the market, the Supersonica SLR sits firmly in the premium superbike category: a specialist machine for riders who want a modern, highly adjustable aero platform with bespoke fit options rather than a simpler, more conventional TT bike.

Fit and geometry

The Supersonica SLR’s geometry is clearly oriented around an aggressive aero position. Across all sizes, the seat tube angle is a steep 82 degrees, which places the rider farther forward over the bottom bracket than a typical road bike and better supports open hip angles in low TT and triathlon positions. Stack and reach numbers are correspondingly long and low: the XS/S comes in at 480 mm stack and 395 mm reach, the M at 500/417, and the L/XL at 520/439. Those are purposeful figures for a bike meant to be ridden on aerobars, giving fitters a broad base for building low frontal-area positions without resorting to extreme stem solutions.

Handling dimensions also reflect the bike’s intended use. A 72-degree head tube angle is consistent across the size range, paired with short 405 mm chainstays and wheelbases from 973 mm to 1030 mm. That combination suggests a bike aimed at maintaining responsive steering and compact rear-end behavior while preserving enough front-center length for stability at speed. In practice, the geometry points to a chassis designed for straight-line efficiency and high-speed control in race conditions, while the integrated cockpit and extension system do much of the fine-tuning for rider fit and weight distribution.

Builds

Wilier’s published Supersonica SLR range is tightly focused around four high-end complete builds, all using Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9270 2x12. The lineup is split between triathlon-oriented builds and more TT-specific builds, with powermeter and non-powermeter versions of each. The triathlon builds use Miche Kleos 67 front and 85 rear wheels, while the other two builds move to a more specialized race setup with a Miche Kleos RD SPX3 front wheel and Kleos RD Crono Lenticular rear disc.

That structure makes the spec differences easy to read. Riders prioritizing triathlon practicality get deep-section 67/85 wheels and the option of adding a powermeter, while riders targeting pure time trial racing get the more overtly aerodynamic front-wheel-plus-disc-wheel package, again with or without a powermeter. There is no lower-tier mechanical or mid-range option here; every build is positioned at the premium end, and the real choice is between race application and whether integrated power measurement is part of the package.
