Filante Hybrid SHIMANO ULTEGRA DI2 R8170 12S + MAHLE X20

On asphalt, it's mainly a question of resistance and efficiency, and that's what the score summarizes. In day-to-day use, it leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. It trends this way because of all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

If your rides include hills, it rates 1.8/10 for climbing. Within e-road bikes, it sits near the bottom. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. The easiest gear works out to about 32.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~12% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Looking at it as a race-focused setup, an aero score of 7.2/10 means that it’s tuned for mixed riding rather than pure aero focus so you get some benefit when the wind matters. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Different categories trade aerodynamics against comfort and stability—race is part of that story. Tyres around 28mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because handlebar height is roughly 85 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 560 mm (long). Plan for roughly 36 degrees of lean.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Plus, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 3.1/10 for comfort, so it feels quite direct out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks like a high asking price for the build level. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 38% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 14% of them. To anchor it: price €9.766 versus an estimated €7.083 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tires around 28 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
