The '90s and early 2000s are widely considered to be a "different era" in road racing. We're referring of course to the uncompromising geometries that pros insisted on: short frame, long stem, low stack. Times are changing though, and Wilier's GTS Ultegra 6800 Disc Complete Road Bike is one of the best examples of new trends in pro-level geometry. Ten years ago, a geometry like this would be considered a sportive bike, but now it's showing up more and more in the European peloton at the most demanding races like Flanders and Roubaix.
That's because the GTS is built like a race bike with a more upright position, more vibration absorbing compliance, and a slightly longer wheelbase. When compared to the Cento1SR that UnitedHealthcare rides, the GTS has a head tube that's just over a centimeter taller and half a degree slacker. Many Pro Tour outfits are now using bikes like this to tackle the cobblestones of the spring classics, so you can rest assured that the modifications to geometry do produce a more comfortable ride, but don't come with any performance penalties.
New for 2015, the GTS is now offered as a disc brake-compatible frame, putting it ahead of the curve in another way. It's already equipped with disc brakes, which aren't officially legal in the peloton yet, despite being billed as the likely form of stopping going forward. Apart from a stiffer fork design, a slightly lower claimed weight (about 500 grams lighter), and better overall power transfer, the GTS remains largely unchanged from 2014. The frame is made from a blend of the same MR60H and T700SC carbon fiber found in the pro-level Cento1SR and superbike king Zero.7, but the GTS also incorporates a lower modulus, HS40 carbon for extra comfort. It also has more aggressively shaped tubes that net a stable, confidence-inspiring ride, and elements like the head tube and fork use continual pieces of carbon fiber that wrap through and around joints to improve torsional stiffness without adding undue weight. The flat, thin seatstays give the bike more vertical compliance in back when riding over rough roads, and the asymmetric chainstays take into account the different loads applied to the drive- and non-drive sides of the frame, yet again balancing weight with stiffness.
The GTS Disc is impeccably spec'd with Shimano's peerless Ultegra 6800 11-speeed drivetrain. This is married to an FSA Gossamer Pro crankset that — like the handlebar, stem, and saddle — are branded with Wilier's logo, lending a nice touch of uniformity to the bike's kit that ties everything together. The wheels come from Campagnolo's Shimano-friendly Fulcrum label, so you can enjoy the benefits of Italian bearings and precise, Japanese shifting. If you develop a taste for Di2, then the 2015 GTS frame has you covered with the option to mount an electronic battery, so its future-proof qualities extend beyond the geometry and the disc brake compatibility.
