Wilier Izoard XP, Ultegra Wilier's entry level carbon frameset is a wonderful intro to high-end carbon fibre, with it's monocoque construction & a weave that's been refined since the Izoard first launched to improve handling, comfort & weight. An updated fork design for the 2013 model keeps handling easy & stabilises the front end, so the Wilier Izoard works admirably as a club run & racing bike as well conforming to a comfortable enough geometry to take you on longer days out such as sportive style 100k plus rides. Add the Shimano Ultegra gearing & you have sure-footed, high performance componentry to match the well designed frameset, then the Wilier branded FSA cranks & finishing kit complete the picture & make the Izoard look as good as it's stable mates that cost two or three times as much. Nice.
