Wilier Filante SL ID2 Force AXS Bike Info

The Wilier Filante SL ID2 Force AXS Bike is a carbon road bike built around electronic shifting, deep-section carbon wheels and a fully integrated cockpit. It comes from Wilier Triestina, the Italian maker that has been building bikes in Veneto since 1906. This build sits at the performance end of the Wilier road range, and it is set up to ride as it comes out of the box.

Frame and Fork

The frame and fork are both carbon monocoque, made from what Wilier specifies as NHU MOD+ High Impact Strength carbon. A monocoque layup molds the frame as one continuous structure instead of bonding separate tubes. That is how builders generally keep weight down while tuning stiffness and compliance in specific areas of the frame. The Superslim headset uses Wilier's own custom bearings and supports the clean, low-profile front end. The Filante-specific carbon seatpost has a -15mm setback, which affects your saddle position and fit, so it is worth discussing with your fitter.

SRAM Force AXS E1 Drivetrain

Shifting and braking come from SRAM Force AXS E1. That means wireless electronic front and rear derailleurs, AXS shifters and hydraulic disc brake calipers, with a Force E1 crankset and chain. Gearing is a 48/35 chainring pairing with a 12-speed 10-33 cassette. That is a compact setup for riders who want a wide enough range for steep climbs without giving up a tall gear for descents and flat roads. The bottom bracket is SRAM DUB in a Pressfit 86.5 road shell. Braking uses SRAM Paceline 160mm rotors front and rear.

Wheels, Tires and Cockpit

The wheels are Miche SWR EVO 50 Carbon, a 50mm-class deep-section rim profile that favors speed on open roads and rolling terrain. They are fitted with Vittoria Rubino V tires in 700x30. The frame clears tires up to 34mm, so you can go wider for rougher pavement or long days on broken roads without changing frames.

Up front is the R-Bar, an integrated carbon handlebar and stem in one piece. Routing runs through the cockpit and keeps the front end clean. An integrated bar also limits how freely you can swap stem lengths and bar widths, so size and fit matter more than usual. A Selle San Marco Shortfit 2.0 open-fit saddle in the narrow width is the contact point at the rear. Pedals are not included, so choose the system that matches your shoes.

Sizing and Colors

The Filante SL is offered in six sizes, XS through XXL, with crank lengths from 165mm on the smallest frames to 172.5mm on the largest. In size M, stack is 538mm and reach is 388mm, with a 408mm chainstay, 72.5-degree head angle and 74-degree seat angle. The reach and stack numbers lean toward a race-oriented but not extreme position. Four colorways are available: Drive White, Pivot Grey, Pulse Red and Flow Blue.

Who It's For

This bike suits riders who want a modern Italian carbon road bike with a current electronic groupset and deep wheels, and who want to ride it without upgrades. It fits fast group rides, road racing and long weekend miles equally well. At $7,700, the Filante SL ID2 Force AXS is a complete performance build from a brand with more than a century of racing history.

The RA Perspective

The first thing we notice on the Filante SL ID2 is how complete the build is. SRAM Force AXS E1 is a drivetrain we trust, and pairing it with 50mm carbon wheels and an integrated carbon cockpit means there is little you need to change before riding.

The 30mm Vittoria tires and 34mm maximum clearance suit how most people ride now. Wider tires let you run lower pressure on rough pavement, and that usually helps comfort and grip more than a few grams saved. On long climbs the 48/35 chainrings with a 10-33 cassette give you a low gear that works for most riders. If you ride a lot of flat, fast terrain you might miss a bigger top gear.

There are tradeoffs. The one-piece R-Bar looks clean, but it limits stem and bar adjustments, so we recommend getting the fit right before you commit to a size. The -15mm seatpost also affects saddle setback, which matters for riders at the edges of the size range. Deep 50mm wheels can feel lively in strong crosswinds, which is worth knowing if you ride exposed roads.

This is a good fit for a rider who wants a race-ready Italian road bike with a modern groupset and no upgrade list. If you want one bike for fast group rides, road races and long days, we would reach for this one. Pedals are not included, so plan for those when you order.
