3 reasons not to buy

Ritchey ErgoMax bars made the bike sit too tall for some reviewers.
Shimano RS171 wheels were heavy and were not tubeless-ready.
On Shimano GRX builds, the short-cage rear derailleur limited the Jena’s gear range.

Bottom line

Wilier’s Jena is intended to be a versatile bike. With this rig, the road marque has attempted to create a machine that can race aggressively when unburdened, while also featuring ample fixtures for setup as a capable bikepacker. From most reports, this was achieved. Some testers felt that, with a tall head-tube and riser bars, the bike’s feel tended more toward long-distance riding rather than speed. However, with differing setups and aero tubing, the Jena was highly adaptable to faster riding. Road-bike gear-ratios were sometimes disliked on 2x models. In terms of price, the Jena seemed to represent average value. But if it’s in your price-bracket, it’s likely that one of the eight available builds will meet your gravel needs.

Wilier Jena Ultegra

Level 4 expert

You could divide the gravel scene into those who blast the trails for a couple of hours and bikepackers who want to load up and head off on an overnight adventure. The Jena has both covered.

Wilier Jena Ultegra

Level 2 expert

…the Jena is an athletic example of the gravel bike breed. Quick, responsive and fun whether loaded up for a weekend tour or stripped bare for a race. Where the Wilier does falter is with pricing.
