Wilier Rave SLR ID2 Rival XPLR E1 Bike w/Alloy Bar and Carbon Wheels Info
At the same price as the GRX Di2 build, this configuration makes a different case: fully wireless drivetrain over wired electronic, 13-speed range over 12, and SRAM's AXS ecosystem over Shimano's E-Tube. The Wilier Rave SLR ID2 Rival XPLR E1 with alloy bar and Miche Graff Aero 48 carbon wheels is the right build for riders who are already in the SRAM world or who simply prefer no wiring harness running through a race bike.
The frame is the same. The wheels are the same. The drivetrain choice is everything.
SLR Carbon Frame — The Foundation
The Rave SLR ID2's 990g SLR carbon frame is the same across all build configurations: wind tunnel-developed tube profiles delivering an 8.9% drag reduction over the previous Rave SLR, a NACA-profiled down tube that shields water bottles from airflow, and 52mm tire clearance with 6mm of frame clearance — up from 42mm on the previous generation. The 1x-only design with Universal Derailleur Hanger is matched perfectly to the Rival XPLR E1 drivetrain, and each frame size from XS to XXL gets individually dimensioned tubes to maintain consistent ride quality across the range.
Fully integrated cable routing keeps the front end clean, race-focused geometry prioritizes quick handling over endurance comfort, and the fork draws from Wilier's Supersonica SLR road platform. At 35km/h the aerodynamic savings translate to 5.3 watts — over 50 seconds on a 70km course at 350 watts. This is a frame built with a specific purpose, and every build configuration benefits from it equally.
SRAM Rival XPLR E1 — The Wireless Argument
The case for SRAM Rival XPLR E1 over a wired electronic groupset comes down to three things: no harness, 13 speeds, and the AXS ecosystem.
Truly wireless means no wiring harness to route through the frame, no junction boxes to locate and charge, and no wired connections to corrode or fail at an inopportune moment. Every component — rear derailleur, brake levers — communicates via AXS radio. The batteries are small, hot-swappable, and shared across SRAM's AXS component range. You carry a spare, swap it in under a minute, and keep moving. On a long gravel race where mechanical simplicity is a genuine advantage, wireless removes a category of problems entirely.
The 13-speed 10-46T cassette gives you a wider total range than a 12-speed system, with tighter steps through the middle of the cassette where you spend most of your time riding. The extra gear is most noticeable in the transition from steady climbing to rolling terrain — there's always a gear that matches your cadence without a significant jump. The Rival XPLR E1 rear derailleur features SRAM's Full-Mount design, bolting directly to the Rave SLR ID2's UDH interface with no traditional hanger to bend or break on rough terrain.
E1 is SRAM's latest generation of the Rival XPLR platform, bringing upgraded brake ergonomics with an expanded reach adjust range and significantly reduced lever effort — one-finger braking from the hoods is genuinely effortless, which matters on long descents after hours in the saddle. The AXS app allows full customization of shift logic, button mapping, and firmware updates, so the groupset adapts to how you ride rather than the other way around.
Miche Graff Aero 48 Carbon Wheels
The Miche Graff Aero 48 wheels are purpose-built for gravel racing — a 48mm carbon rim engineered for the combination of high-speed rolling on open terrain and stability on rough, variable surfaces. Carbon construction reduces rotational weight at the rim where it has the greatest effect on acceleration and sustained speed, and the 48mm depth hits the right balance between aerodynamic benefit and crosswind stability for the exposed conditions that define gravel events.
This is a factory-spec carbon wheelset on a $6,600 bike, which is genuinely unusual. Most builds at this price point reserve carbon wheels for higher configurations. The alloy bar is what makes it possible — and for most riders, the Deda Superzero Gravel alloy handlebar with Wilier Stemma S2 stem is a better fit choice than an integrated carbon cockpit anyway. Traditional two-piece cockpits are easier to adjust, easier to service, and compatible with any stem length or bar width you might prefer.
The Build at $6,600
The Wilier Rave SLR ID2 Rival XPLR E1 with alloy bar and carbon wheels puts the aero SLR carbon frame, SRAM's latest wireless gravel drivetrain, and Miche Graff Aero 48 race wheels together at a price that's hard to argue with. If you're cross-shopping this against the GRX Di2 version at the same price, the question is simple: do you prefer Shimano's wired electronic system or SRAM's wireless AXS platform? Both are excellent. The frame and wheels are identical. Choose the drivetrain ecosystem that suits how you ride and who services your bikes.
