The patient bomb.

In its official literature, Wilier compares the Zero.9 Ultegra Complete Road Bike's frameset to the Cento1SR, but we also find an apt comparison between the Zero.9 and the super-bike contender Zero.7. We aren't only compelled to make this connection by the shared naming convention (though that does, admittedly, play a role), but also the general similarities in tube shaping and construction.


But first, the most pronounced difference between the Zero.9 and the more expensive Zero.7 and CentoSR1 frames lie in the different frames' weights. The Zero.9 actually weighs around 50 grams less than the CentoSR1 and a paltry 200 grams more than the Zero.7. This is because it's laid-up of the same 60t Mitsubishi high-modulus carbon featured in its fellow frames, supplemented by the same manufacturing tricks used to make the Zero.7 so light.


The geometry is also different, but only slightly so. Compared to the Zero.7, the Zero.9 has a slightly shorter reach across the sizes with a shorter top tube, and less rake in the fork, recommending it for the tighter maneuvering required in disciplines like cyclocross or for a less draped-over-the-handlebars fit on the road. It also has a taller head tube than the breakaway-friendly Cento1SR, so you're shaped less like a bullet and more like a patient bomb. We say patient bomb because, though it's more comfortable over the long haul than Wilier's other top-end frames, the Zero.9 is most certainly not a Gran Fondo design. It's more than willing to drop the hammer on cue, blowing a group apart with a few pedal strokes on the day's final climb.


The Zero.9 also benefits from Wilier's proprietary tube-shape tweaks, including the unmistakably asymmetrical chain and seatstays. These two sections of the frame are molded from one continuous piece of carbon fiber that flows seamlessly into the top tube. This design lets Wilier wrap the carbon threads around junctions to create a rigid rear triangle that delivers direct power transfer with minimal energy dispersion.


The Zero.9 also includes the new BB386EVO bottom bracket system. BB386 was developed with FSA as an infinitely mutable bottom bracket, so whatever the future holds in the form of spindles, BB386EVO will accommodate them. It's an impressive 86.5mm wide and has a total diameter of 46mm, but this machine includes an adapter to size it down to 24 millimeters. Adaptability isn't BB386EVO's only benefit, though — Wilier estimates that the new bottom bracket increases rigidity by 30%, and reduces power dispersion to almost zero.


As nice as the frameset is, the bike's kit actually gives it competition for the limelight. The drivetrain is 100% Shimano Ultegra, a name that masquerades as a "hobbyist" groupset while hanging in the garage but shows its true, pro-level class once you start turning the crank arms in anger. And speaking of crank arms, they actually match the rest of the group. Wilier opted for the beautifully redesigned four-arm Ultegra crankset instead of a less expensive third party option, a move that anyone who appreciates a uniform drivetrain will applaud. The kit is finished with more Shimano at the wheels, with the bombproof RS21 wheelset, and a collection of Wilier-branded FSA componentry at the seatpost and in the cockpit.
