Wilier Filante SLR Ultegra Di2 Carbon Road Bike
The master in the art of aero. The natural evolution of Wilier's ever famous Cento10PRO, the high-end aerodynamic bike used by professionals. Filante SLR is an extremely lightweight and aerodynamic with a significantly improved stiffness to weight ratio thanks to the same materials and technology as in the construction of the Wilier 0 SLR. The result is a top of the range, aerodynamic frame that complements our pure ascent bike used by Astana Qazaqstan Team.
Aerodynamic
Filante SLR was designed to maximise aerodynamic performance in real environmental conditions. The design was based on data recorded in the wind tunnel, where the wind is very clean for homogeneous empirical results while also taking the real world into account. In this way, Wilier not only evaluate typical wind tunnel data but also consider environmental turbulence that impacts the bike for many different reasons. That's why Wilier redesigned the profiles, starting with the standard NACA airfoils/ KAMM tail that no longer have sharp edges on the back. The softened angles improve performance even when the air flow is disturbed. The inside of the front fork has been widened by 7 mm, making it 13.6% wider than the Cento10PRO. In doing so, Wilier moved the fork blades away from the wheel, reducing turbulence and improving aerodynamics.
Lightweight & Responsive
The aerodynamically optimised profiles helped us eliminate extra weight in the frame’s construction. The shape has no sharp edges, therefore requires less material and less resin in the corners. This improves homogeneity of the inside, reducing the frame’s weight to a mere 870 grams. The Filante SLR monocoque handlebar is made of the same carbon that is used for the Wilier 0 SLR frameset. Thanks to the different types of carbon used in combination with the Liquid-Crystal Polymer, the unique fibre positioning and the construction technology, we have reached an absolute level of lightness and stiffness. The lower overall weight compared to the exceptional stiffness increases STW by 12.5%. This improvement is clearly felt with the steering precision and the feeling of safety at high speeds.
Balanced Design
Six sizes, one feeling. The sections of the tubes of various sizes were designed to maintain consistent rigidity, handling quality and comfort on every frame size.
