Filante Hybrid SHIMANO DURA ACE DI2 R9270 + 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's one of the more speed-focused builds in its group. The score is largely shaped by all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. From the ingredients, aero efficiency is a major part of the speed feel here.

Overall on climbs: 1.8/10. Within e-road bikes, it lands near the bottom. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. That lowest gear comes out around 32.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~12% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

From a race-focused perspective, aero-wise, at 7.2/10, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by bar height comes out ~84 mm below the saddle (large), with about 561 mm of forward reach - a long stretch. Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees.

Net result: Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices.

Comfort comes out to 3.1/10, which usually translates to a quite direct ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. 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.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 66% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 3% of them. Quick reference: €12.916 listed versus about €7.770 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is around 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
