Origin

Wilier Triestina is one of cycling's oldest names, founded in Bassano del Grappa, Italy in 1906 by Pietro Dal Molin. The Cento ("hundred") line was born in 2006 to mark the brand's centenary, and the Cento10Air, unveiled in 2016, was its aero flagship — the number ten signalling a decade of the Cento platform. Wilier developed the frame with computational fluid dynamics, replacing full airfoil tubes with truncated Kammtail (NACA-derived) shapes to cut drag while keeping the frame light and stiff. At a claimed 990g the Air was some 150g lighter than the Cento1 Air it replaced, and roughly as aero — a genuine do-it-all race bike rather than a one-trick aero sled. In 2018/19 Wilier evolved it into the Cento10 Pro, adding disc-brake versions and a claimed 6% torsional-stiffness gain; then in 2021 the Cento10 SL brought the same silhouette to a far lower price using cheaper NH-Mod carbon and off-the-shelf Ritchey finishing kit.

Specifications

Frame: Carbon monocoque. Air/Pro: 60Ton high-modulus (~990g medium). SL: NH-Mod + 3K HISC carbon (~1190g medium). NACA-derived Kammtail aero tube shaping
Weight: kg
Drivetrain: 2x11 or 2x12. Build-dependent: Shimano 105 / Ultegra / Ultegra Di2 / Dura-Ace, SRAM Force eTap AXS, Campagnolo Chorus. Typically 50/34 compact + 11-28/11-30
Brakes: Air (2016): rim, direct-mount caliper. Pro (2018/19) & SL (2021): both rim (direct-mount) and hydraulic disc (flat-mount, 160/140mm rotors) offered
Wheels: Build-dependent carbon/alloy aero wheels: e.g. Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon 45mm, DT Swiss ERC 1400, or Wilier NDR38 carbon (38mm). Clincher/tubeless-ready on later builds

The verdict

+Strengths

Fast, aero and genuinely light for the category — a true all-round race bike, not a pure aero sled
Sharp, stable handling with a comfortable-for-an-aero-bike ride, helped by the dropped seatstays
Classy Italian design and premium spec (often high-end wheels), with a value SL tier for the same look

−Weaknesses

Ride is on the firm side and the Alabarda integrated cockpit is stiff — not the plushest aero bike
Integrated Alabarda cockpit complicates fit changes, servicing and shipping (SL avoids this)
SL saves money but adds ~200g of frame weight and loses the one-piece cockpit versus Air/Pro
