WILIER FILANTE SLR ROAD BIKE

Beware! The pictures can differ from reality! This picture is used as a colour reference, the bike can be equipped with a different groupset.

Wilier Triestina is an Italian cycling manufacturer, known for its high-quality racebikes. Wilier can be found among the peloton in the Astana-Qazagstan team. Wilier provides innovative technology. Which is why they have the lightest and most aerodynamic bikes. Italian brands are known for the finishing touches, which is no different with Wilier.

The new Wilier Filiante SLR is the model that is used by professionals. The frame is completely aerodynamic and lightweight to improve the ratio between the torsional stiffness and the weight. The bike is used by the Astana Qazaqstan Team for both rides on the road and in the hills.

You can choose several different tyre measurements thanks to the big suspension travel of the frame. Everything was designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, such as the integration of the cables into the handlebar, the flat handlebar and the integrated shape of the rear wheel. Thanks to the windtunneltests, the frame is completely optimized against the wind. The bike is both light and aerodunamic to be as versatile as possible.

To take out the wheels, there's nothing simpler than an axle with a quick release, no need for any tools!

This coloursetting is a special edition in coöperation with Marc Cavendish. For his last Tour entering, Marc Cavendish was given this design as tribute for his performances over the years.

Shimano R8170 Ultegra DI2 12-speed

Shimano R8170 Ultegra DI2 is an electric groupset, meaning when you shift, it won’t go through a cable, but through Bluetooth from shifters to the derailleurs. This makes sure that shifting goes even smoother than before. This also means you will have less maintenance. You can configure the shifting in the app.

This groupset offers the same performances as the Dure-Ace DI2 12 groupset, but at a more affordable price. This is because of the different material that was used. The Ultegra groupset has heavier materials, making the groupset a bit heavier, but it still keeps a great shift performance. The 12 gears offer a wide range of proportions to find the correct gear for the correct trail.

The shifters were ergonomically designed and are comfortable to handle. The shift paddles are easy to handle and thanks to the different structure, they are easy to tell apart. The shifters are provided with button cell battery with a life expectancy of 1.5 years.

The derailleurs are connected together through a battery. The Junction Box, which was located in the frame or handlebar before, is now integrated in the rear derailleur, as is the charging point. This means you will need less cables. The shifting is easier thanks to the Hyperglide+ technology.

The hydraulic disc brakes also received an update. The brake callipers offer 10% more space between the brake pads and the brake discs, which causes less wear on the brakes. The heat regulation also got an update to make sure that the heating up is limited during long descents. The ventilation runs through the brake callipers.

So generally speaking, we can say that the Shimano Ultegra DI2 brings joy to your ride. You’ll be able to focus on performance and carefree shifting, thanks to this groupset.
