Puntotours and Wilier

We are very excited to announce that in 2012 we will be working with one of Italy’s most well-known and respected bike brands, Wilier Triestina. This is what Competitive Cyclist has to say about Wilier:

“While they're (Wilier) aware of their historical pedigree, they are unaddicted to sentimentality. Instead Wilier has embraced the most modern materials and methods to produce road racing frames that aren't just best-from-Italy, but the best available anywhere.”

The cost to hire either of these bikes is only €30 per day. If you wish to hire a bike, simply complete the details on the booking form.

We have tested the bikes and are pleased to provide the following two models for hire to our clients:

Wilier GranTurismo

PERFECTLY BALANCED PERFORMANCE

The GranTurismo slots in just underneath Wilier’s top level Cento1 and as the name suggests, is ideally suited to the variety of road challenges a Pro would face in a Grand Tour. It really does excel in any territory. With its monocoque frame – and fork! - its razor edge design overlaps top and down tubes at the head tube to form a single, integrated and reinforced unit. Combined with the unique lines of the specially structured fork, Wilier have optimized lateral stiffness and front end stability for quick accelerations as well as smooth, precise handling at speed. It is superbly comfortable for those longer rides and as one bike reviewer said: “.. if we had to have just one bike, the Gran Turismo would be one worth serious consideration”. 

Wilier 303 Mountain Bike

Wilier’s new flagship off-road ride is a direct descendant of the Solitario, for years their top MTB model. The Serie 3 boasts a monocoque carbon frame and carbon suspension fork as well as customized Warp components. Refinements have been made to enhance its handling and comfort characteristics, especially over longer distances, and the Serie 3 is even lighter than its predecessor. This is an ideal bike for the cross-country racer, or for anyone who demands perfect balance, tracking and speed over virtually any terrain.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding these bikes. Check out the full range of Wilier bikes here on their website.
