Wilier Filante SLR Disc Frameset
Made to win aero, lightweight, responsive and comfortable with sublime handling this frameset has it all. 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 (yaw angles from -20° to + 20°), 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.
Wilier Filante SLR Disc Frameset new aerodynamically optimised profiles helped 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. Filante monocoque handlebar is made of the same carbon we use for the Wilier 0 SLR. Thanks to the different types of carbon used in combination with the Liquid-Crystal Polymer, the unique fibre positioning and the construction technology, Wilier 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.
Wilier Filante SLR Disc Frameset has another new feature the Mavic Speed Release thru axle system that enbles the wheel to be quickly removed from the frame. In this way the axle does not need to be totally extracted from the wheel hub. This solution significantly reduces wheel release and insertion time. During races, this solution cuts wheel change times by 7 seconds on average compared to a traditional thru axle system.
Wilier Filante SLR Disc Frameset handlebar in addition to being lightweight, (350 grams for the 101x42 size) the new integrated carbon monocoque Filante Bar handlebar houses the brake and derailleur cables, directing them toward the inside of the frame. Its design is very simple, with sinuous and rounded lines for maximum grip ergonomics.
