FILANTE SL SHIMANO 105 R7150 Di2 12S

For road riding, the score leans toward outright pace rather than comfort-first priorities. All else equal, it lands in the middle: capable pace, but not optimized for outright speed. A few practical factors stand out: 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.

Climbing rating: 3.3/10. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

As a race-focused bike, sitting at 7.8/10 for aero, with tidier routing up front, it’s built to waste less energy pushing air particularly on flatter, wind-exposed sections. What that means on the road is: it’s built with speed in mind, with choices that reduce wind drag once you’re riding faster. This setup supports a more race-leaning posture, helping you present less of your body to the wind. 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. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. In real riding, it tends to reward holding speed: the faster you go, the more the aero design helps.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 118 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 568 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 42 degrees.

In Road, This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Plus, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 3.0/10, which usually translates to a quite direct ride. That’s the reason it lands as 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 race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~42°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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 49% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 35% of listings). Quick reference: €5.355 listed versus about €3.586 for a comparable 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. The tire size is around 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
