Chris Seed with his Wilier Trestina Zero 7While out riding, Chris was taken out by a very large truck on a roundabout, knocked off his bike and in hospital for a while nursing some broken ribs; the bike was a write-off. While feeling lucky to have come out of the accident in one piece, the thoughts then turned to the replacement bike and he thought, why not? Deciding that ‘I need a bigger bike. I need a faster bike’, Chris settled on the Wilier Zero 7.

Zero.7 is the lighest bicycle Wilier Triestina has ever made, and the revolution it leads has a specific goal: setting the new design standard for ultra-light racing bikes. The most noticeable aspect of the new frame is the shape, featuring less volume than the previous version of the Zero 7. New construction techniques have allowed us to reduce the volume of the frame tubes by 19%. However, the smaller diameter tubes have not reduced lateral stiffness or the safety of the frame.’ – Wilier Triestina. Their construction technique allows them to five the frame considerable stiffness at the most critical points while keeping the frame ultra-light.
