Filante SLR SHIMANO ULTEGRA Di2 R8170 2X12S

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. As a result, it's biased toward performance over comfort-focused choices. 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.

Climb score: 2.3/10. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. Your easiest gear lands around 30.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~32% versus similar bikes. “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. 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.

On the race-focused side of things, scoring 7.6/10 on aero, it’s built to waste less energy pushing air so it rewards steady fast riding. In everyday language, it’s built with speed in mind, with choices that reduce wind drag once you’re riding faster. The race category also hints at the intent behind the design. This setup supports a more race-leaning posture, helping you present less of your body to the wind. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. When you’re riding quickly, this kind of design can feel easier to keep rolling at the same speed.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 116 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~569 mm (long). Plan for roughly 42 degrees of lean. As a race-oriented bike, it encourages a lower, faster position.

In Road / Race, Fit flexibility summary: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. Plus, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. So we classify it as Adjustable.

This scores 3.0/10 for comfort, so it feels more responsive than cushy out on the road. So it’s tagged Firm overall. 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 race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~42°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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 54% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 33% of listings). To anchor it: price €9.871 versus an estimated €6.426 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This setup is focused on speed and efficiency on paved roads. The tire size is around 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
