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 ranks near the bottom. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~12% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

As a race-focused bike, with a 7.2/10 aero score, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so it feels versatile, not single-purpose. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The race tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. 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 84 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 561 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.

Ride comfort is 3.1/10 — on a real ride it feels more responsive than cushy. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and narrow tires usually mean higher pressure, so more buzz comes through on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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 37% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 19% of them. To anchor it: price €9.766 versus an estimated €7.111 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.
