Adlar Hybrid
Origin
The Adlar is Wilier's lightweight e-bike platform aimed at riders who want road and adventure-gravel performance with discreet electric assistance. Designed in Rossano Veneto and launched in 2023, it is part of Wilier's broader hybrid range that includes the Filante Hybrid (aero road) and Garda Hybrid (endurance). The Adlar specifically targets the booming Italian and central-European gran-fondo-with-assistance market and the long-distance adventure/bikepacking segment. It uses the German-made TQ HPR50 mid-drive — the same motor Trek puts in the Domane+ SLR — chosen because at 1.85 kg motor weight and ~3.9 kg total power-unit weight it is the lightest, quietest and most road-bike-shaped system on the market. Wilier's engineers paired the TQ with their own carbon frame architecture, slack adventure geometry and integrated cockpit, presenting the Adlar as a bike that 'doesn't look like an e-bike' — a positioning very much in line with the brand's century-old aesthetic restraint.

The verdict
- Class-leading lightweight, near-silent TQ HPR50 assistance with natural pedal feel — barely reads as an e-bike
- Exceptional bikepacking infrastructure: dense mounting points, 52 mm tyre clearance, 35 kg load rating
- Stiff, sturdy carbon frame that stays planted under heavy luggage and on technical descents
- Suspension-fork-ready head tube lets the platform grow into a rough-terrain adventure rig
- Clean, understated Wilier aesthetics with a fully integrated battery and top-tube display
- Limited frame compliance — can feel harsh/uncomfortable on long all-day rides
- Modest 360 Wh battery and ~80-100 km real range force the optional range extender for big days
- Heavily flared bar makes brake/shift levers a stretch for some riders (reach criticism in testing)
- Big 50 mm tyres add rolling resistance and feel inefficient on tarmac/smooth surfaces
- Premium pricing (~€6,500-10,500) for a small battery; identity sits awkwardly between e-road, e-gravel and bikepacking rather than excelling at one
