    Wilier Filante SLR ID2 Review in our 2026 Aero Road Bike Comparison
    Wilier enter our 2026 aero road bike comparison with an undeniably elegant race machine, the brand new Filante SLR ID2. The concept centres on tailored aero solutions, a holistic performance philosophy, and what is arguably the sleekest design in the entire test field. Is that enough to compete with some of the most uncompromising aero bikes on the market, or is it all style and no substance?Wilier Filante SLR ID2 | 7.3 kg in Size L | 12,700 | Manufacturers WebsiteFor our 2026 aero road bike comparison, Wilier have sent the latest version of their Filante SLR aero all-rounder, the ID2. It could hardly come at a better time: Wilier and Cervlo are the only brands in this group test currently ridden by UCI WorldTour teams. That pedigree really shows in the confident overhaul of their popular aero race bike.A hunger for speed is built into the Filante SLR ID2 from the outset, anchored in a holistic concept that combines an aerodynamically optimised frame, a fully integrated cockpit and refined bottles with matching cages. Yet for all the emphasis on drag reduction, weight has not been overlooked either. On paper, it sounds like the complete aero all-rounder, but is that enough to make its mark in the 2026 aero road bike review?Elegance in the Wind the Philosophy behind the Wilier Filante SLR ID2Wiliers flair for building uncompromising race bikes became clear during our big 2025 aero road bike review, where the previous Filante SLR offered few concessions to comfort. With the new model, that is set to change. A modern race bike needs more than sharp geometry it has to offer a smooth ride and generous tire clearance too.Truly aeroWith its Aero Kit, Wilier has the best and fastest bottle integration in the 2026 aero road bike review.Comfort plusThe combination of Miche Kleos RD 50 wheels and Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres delivers a fast and stylish alternative to the stiffest wheelsets in the test field.That step into the modern era is obvious in the design. The black Filante SLR ID2 with its shimmering logos is arguably the most eye-catching bike in this test field and, in our view, the best-looking. Cleanly integrated details add to the appeal and promise real speed gains. The wide fork crown, for instance, has been taken straight from Wiliers Rave SLR ID2 gravel race bike. Just like its predecessor, the ID2s seat stays flare dramatically, a feature that has become a hallmark of todays aero road bikes, as youll see on the Factor ONE and MERIDA REACTO TEAM.But there is more. The Filante SLR ID2 has a genuine ace up its sleeve a true unique selling point. Wilier supply specially developed aero bottles, perfectly matched to the frame, along with dedicated bottle cages. Other brands such as BMC, ROSE and Factor offer proprietary cages, but only Wilier integrate the system so consistently into the overall aerodynamic concept. Getting them in and out of the cages requires a little practise though.Miche through and throughFrom the computer mount and wheelset to details such as the bottom bracket and thru-axles, Wilier rely entirely on their in-house Miche components for the hardware.Black on blackIn the black paint finish, the cockpit, colour-matched to the frame, looks understated rather than spectacular. The other colour options in the range are where things get truly interesting.Attention to detailA small Filante logo on the seat stay underlines the sporty character of this aero road bike.The result is a cohesive package that carries through to the geometry, which aligns closely with the Wilier Verticale SLR lightweight race bike. With a stack-to-reach ratio of 1.42, the riding position is low and purposeful, ideal for launching attacks on the flat, pushing hard on climbs, or settling into the increasingly popular aero position on the hoods. Despite this, the Filante SLR ID2 feels slightly more forgiving than the other bikes in our test field. A 72.5 head angle paired with short 411 mm chainstays delivers sharp, precise handling, while the wheelbase provides reassuring composure at high speed.SizeXSSMLXLXXLTop Tube508 mm526 mm542 mm559 mm576 mm590 mmSeat Tube450 mm480 mm510 mm530 mm550 mm570 mmHead Tube99 mm115 mm132 mm149 mm166 mm183 mmHead Angle70.671.57272.57373.5Seat Angle75.274.57473.57373Chain Stay411 mm411 mm411 mm411 mm413 mm413 mmWheelbase980.5 mm985.1 mm992.9 mm1,000.4 mm1,010.1 mm1,018.5 mmReach373.5 mm380 mm386.5 mm393 mm400 mm408 mmStack505 mm523 mm541 mm559 mm577 mm595 mmBlack on Black the Spec of the Wilier Filante SLR ID2Good looks are one thing, but a race bike ultimately stands or falls on its spec. Wilier have equipped our Filante SLR ID2 with a Shimano DURA-ACE Di2 groupset, including a Shimano power meter. The drivetrain pairs a 52/36 t chainset with an 11-30 t cassette, striking a well-judged balance between top-end speed for the sprint and low range for steep climbs. Braking is handled by a 160 mm rotor up front and 140 mm at the rear.Wilier round off the build with their in-house Miche Kleos RD 50 wheelset, shod in Vittoria Corsa Pro tires in 70030 mm, which measure a true 31 mm on the rims. In this configuration, including the aero bottle cages, our test bike tips the scales at 7.3 kg and costs 12,700.Wilier Filante SLR ID2 2026 12,700SpecificationsSeatpost Wilier Carbon D-ShapedBrakes Shimano DURA-ACE BR-R9200 160/140 mmDrivetrain Shimano DURA-ACE Di2 R9200 2 x 12Chainring 52/36 TStem Wilier F-Bar 110 mmHandlebar Wilier F-Bar 370 mmWheelset Miche Kleos RD 50 12 x 100 / 12 x 142Tires Vittoria Corsa Pro 700 x 30cCranks Shimano DURA-ACE FC-R9200 172,5 mmCassette Shimano DURA-ACE CS-R9200 1130TTechnical DataSize XS S M L XL XXLWeight 7,30 kgSpecific FeaturesUniversally compatible aero bottle cagesMatching aero bottlesMiche components with refined detailingThe Wilier Filante SLR ID2 in Review Speed with ConfidenceAs an aero bike and race-focused all-rounder, the Wilier Filante SLR ID2 is designed to handle a wide range of racing scenarios. What does that actually feel like when youre in the saddle? Out on our test loop in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Wilier quickly proves it offers more than just good looks. The riding position is nicely centred, and the handling feels intuitive and reassuring. You feel at home straight away. Aero down to the finest detail even the Factor ONEs bottles are slower!That sense of security is reinforced by the balanced yet direct steering. The Filante thrives on speed, becoming increasingly stable as the pace rises. In tight corners it needs a slightly firmer input, but it always remains predictable. This intuitive character inspires confidence and helps you keep a cool head in hectic race situations. What you do not get, however, is the razor-sharp snap of a bike like the BMC Teammachine R.To unlock the full potential of the Filante SLR ID2, you need to make the most of its handling traits. When you put the power down, the bike responds willingly. It may not feel quite as explosive as the lighter bikes from ROSE, BMC and MERIDA, yet it accelerates more eagerly than aero heavyweights such as the Cervlo S5 and Factor ONE.The result is a fast, confidence-inspiring machine that also aims to impress with its efficiency. Here too it performs at a very high level, even if it cannot quite match the outright speed of the Cervlo and Factor. The aero refinements clearly work well, allowing the Wilier to gather speed quickly and with minimal fuss, and just as importantly to hold that speed with ease. In terms of efficiency, it sits on par with the bikes from BMC and MERIDA.One standout feature is its compliance. The Filante SLR ID2 is one of the most comfortable bikes in this aero road bike review. That said, we are still talking about comfort in the context of a race bike. The Vittoria Corsa Pro tyres, measuring a true 31 mm, make long days in the saddle entirely manageable. If plush comfort is your top priority, none of the bikes in this aero road bike test are built for that brief.All in all, Wilier have delivered a meticulously detailed and genuinely fast race bike with a thoroughly thought-through concept. It is a machine we would happily line up on the start line with, and one that more than earns its place in the WorldTour peloton. Tuning tip: Upgrade to the new Miche Deva RD wheels for even more speed!Who is the Wilier Filante SLR ID2 Made For?The Wilier Filante SLR ID2 is a bike without any big surprises, and we mean that as a compliment. The concept of a deep aero frame, striking looks and clearly defined aerodynamic optimisation works exactly as you would hope. It promises speed and delivers on that promise without fuss. Its relatively low weight and composed, intuitive handling play a big part here. Whether you are a beginner pinning on a race number for the first time or a seasoned racer, you will feel at ease on the Wilier from the off its a bike that builds confidence quickly. That makes it a genuine all-rounder for racing. High mountain stages, flat-out sprint days or chaotic race situations in a tightly packed bunch; the Filante SLR ID2 remains a fast and dependable companion whatever the profile throws at you.AccessibilityBeginnerProBLING FACTORlowhighAGILITYsluggishplayfulSTABILITYnervousconfidentHANDLINGdemandingintuitiveEFFICIENCYlowhighACCELERATIONsluggishnimbleFUN FACTORdulllivelyCOMFORTfirmcomfortableVERSATILITYlowhighHelmet POC CYTAL MIPS | Glasses Oakley Radar Plate | Jersey Q36.5 Dottore Grid Skin | Bibs Q36.5 Dottore Pro | Shoes Q36.5 Unique Pro | Socks Pas Normal Studios Mechanism Aero SocksConclusion on the Wilier Filante SLR ID2With the Filante SLR ID2, Wilier field a serious front-runner in the 2026 aero road bike comparison.

    Salsa Cycles & Old Man Mountain Join Forces for the New Manzanita Cradle
    Bend, Oregons bikepacking aficionados, Old Man Mountain (OMM), just released their first handlebar cradle. The new Manzanita Cradle was developed in partnership with Salsa Cycles to continue the success of Salsas popular Anything Cradle.(Photos / Old Man Mountain)This bracket-mounted system is compatible with all types of riding styles, ranging from technical off-road adventures to smoother gravel routes. The Manzanita utilizes a hook-and-loop attachment system, where bags hang from corner hooks, like a jacket on a coat rack. This creates a secure connection without the need for complicated hardware. Easy, secure, and silent.Once the bag hooks into place, riders can easily secure it with compression straps that route through specially designed holes in the front stretch pocket. This means you can tighten down your gear without losing access to the most convenient storage space on the bag. The process eliminates the usual struggle of trying to manage loose bags while securing straps.The cradle sports six M5 mounting points along its arms. This allows you to attach lights, bike computers, phones, GPS trackers, or water bottles directly to the cradle, keeping your handlebars from cluttering up. This way, the rider can also preserve their grip positions. Plus, it creates a cleaner setup overall. All of this can make a real difference on longer rides where hand comfort matters.Manzanita Cradle Retail & DetailRetail: $110 $240Mounting hooks on the cradle and simple loops on the bags make mounting your bag easy and quick. So easy it can even be done one-handed.Quick stash, stretch pockets provide easy access to snacks, and essentials you need while riding.Six accessory mounting points on the top of the cradle provide plenty of room for computers, lights, and other accessories.Dual bolt handlebar clamps provide ample grip to prevent the cradle from slipping, rotating, even the roughest trails.Handlebar mounts protect the brake and shift housing to maintain smooth functionality.Angle adjustability makes tire clearance on small bikes a breeze while maintaining an ideal mounting angle.Waterproof fabrics and roll top closures keep your gear safe and protected in harsh weather and stream crossings.Air purge valves make it easy to securely compress your gear to save space and stabilize your load.9L Top Load bag and 11L Side Load bag options for refined fit on every bike.The new Manzanita Handlebar Cradle comes in two different bag options: an 11-liter side-loading bag designed for flat handlebars, and a 9-liter top-loading version. Both bags share the same features and mounting system, with the main difference being where/how you access your gear. The combination gives riders a straightforward way to carry essentials up front while keeping their handlebars clear for comfortable riding.Check the link below for more details about the Manzanita Cradle and all of the bikepacking goodness at OMMOldManMountain.comThe post Salsa Cycles & Old Man Mountain Join Forces for the New Manzanita Cradle appeared first on Bikerumor.

    Cervlo S5 Review in our 2026 Aero Road Bike Comparison
    For years, the Cervlo S5 has been seen as the aero bike to beat. As a true pioneer of aerodynamic road design,we were keen to test it out in our 2026 aero road bike comparison. Does the S5 remain the benchmark in 2026, or have bold new aero concepts taken the lead?Cervlo S5 | 7.38 kg in Size 56 | 13,999 | Manufacturers WebsiteAero is everything. Few brands embody that mantra as consistently as Cervlo. For the brand with Canadian roots, it is not just a marketing slogan, but part of the companys DNA. From the very beginning, with bikes like the Soloist, they focused on one central question: how do you make a road bike measurably faster?Those engineering roots are still visible in every detail, and no bike showcases them as uncompromisingly as the S5. One glance at its silhouette is enough: the bayonet fork, the striking cockpit, the sculpted tube profiles shaped in the wind tunnel. For years, the S5 has set the benchmark in aerodynamic road design. Building on the iconic 2019 silhouette, Cervlo refined the concept for 2022, and again for 2025. Rather than starting from scratch, they sharpened what was already an exceptionally fast system, focusing on targeted improvements rather than a radical redesign.But is steady evolution enough when rivals now follow similar paths? In our 2026 aero road bike review, the S5 faces a new generation of high-speed machines that approach aerodynamics with the same single-minded focus that once defined Cervlo. The decisive question is whether pure efficiency is still enough to stay at the front, or whether being the benchmark today requires more than just maximum aero performance.All Aero? The Cervlo S5 PhilosophyIn this group test, the Cervlo S5, alongside the Factor ONE, is the bike that makes the fewest concessions to broad appeal something which defines its character. While many brands aim to strike a careful balance between comfort, weight and aerodynamics, Cervlo remain firmly committed to their philosophy: maximum efficiency first.The signature bayonet fork, the striking V-shaped cockpit and the boldly sculpted tube profiles are far more than visual flair. They are the physical expression of an uncompromising Aero is everything approach. Every line, every edge and every surface is shaped by that principle.Signature MoveThe distinctive bayonet fork is not a gimmick, but Cervlos aero signature, even if it is no longer unique in this test field.Comfy!Despite its uncompromising look, the rear end offers noticeable damping, making it one of the most comfortable bikes in this aero road bike review.Since the first generation, which established the S5s distinctive style, the concept has been refined in detail. The front end has grown taller and longer, and the cockpit is now integrated even more efficiently. The fact that this works is evident in the pro peloton. At Team VismaLease a Bike, riders such as Jonas Vingegaard regularly choose the S5, even in mountainous races. That alone speaks volumes about its balance. While Pauline Ferrand-Prvot opts for the lighter Cervlo R5 when outright climbing efficiency is the priority, others deliberately stick with the S5, because the watts saved against the wind often matter more than a few grams on the scales even in the mountains.V for VelocityThe V-shaped one-piece cockpit quickly settles you into a proper aero tuck.FiddlyThe deeply recessed seatpost clamp is tricky to access and can test your patience, especially in a direct comparison.No half measuresThe big gearing may feel ambitious on climbs, but it rewards you with serious speed on the other side.With 392 mm of reach and 565 mm of stack, the S5 sits in a modern, sporty position, without pushing you into extremes. It does not force you into an uncomfortable aero tuck, but enables an aggressive position that you can realistically maintain for hours. The specialist DNA shows in the details. Short 405 mm chainstays and a compact 982 mm wheelbase give the bike a distinctly eager, punchy character. At 7.38 kg, it is not among the lightest bikes in the field, especially when compared with the MERIDA REACTO TEAM or the featherweight ROSE Shave FFX.Size485154565861Top Tube520 mm535 mm550 mm565 mm581 mm595 mmHead Tube64 mm82 mm104 mm125 mm152 mm173 mmHead Angle71727373.573.573.5Seat Angle737373737373Chain Stay405 mm405 mm405 mm405 mm405 mm405 mmBB Drop74.5 mm74.5 mm72 mm72 mm69.5 mm69.5 mmWheelbase973 mm974 mm975 mm982 mm999 mm1,013 mmReach367 mm376 mm384 mm392 mm401 mm409 mmStack496 mm519 mm542 mm565 mm588 mm608 mmRace Ready The Spec Of The Cervlo S5The Cervlo S5s build follows its full aero, race-focused brief without compromise. Nothing is softened or toned down. Every component is chosen with one goal in mind: maximum efficiency at high speed.The gearing alone makes that clear. Shimanos DURA-ACE Di2 drivetrain with a 56/40 t chainset is a bold statement. For many amateur racers, that setup may feel a touch ambitious on steep climbs. Yet it is precisely this configuration that allows the S5 to come alive at high speeds and on descents. In context, it makes sense. While MERIDA and BMC offer a 36 x 30 as their easiest ratio, which is hardly relaxed either, the Cervlo delivers significantly more top-end speed. If you can put the power down, this bike gives you exactly the right tool for the job.At the heart of the build sit the deep-section Reserve 57|64 wheels, with DT Swiss 180 hubs. With a 57 mm rim up front and 64 mm at the rear, they underline the S5s uncompromising aero focus, integrating seamlessly with the frame platform. Their depth brings impressive composure and a smooth, settled ride feel, yet they prove more comfortable than you might expect.The 25 mm internal rim width is paired with 29 mm wide Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR tyres, which measure up at exactly 29 mm once installed. Aerodynamically optimised, with low rolling resistance and a beautifully supple ride quality, they fit the concept perfectly. On the road, they deliver tangible comfort and a reassuringly planted feel.The cockpit remains fairly classic with a 400 mm handlebar width. If you want to push further into an aggressive aero tuck, switching to a narrower option is an easy way to fine-tune your position. Cervlo even offer a free cockpit swap to make sure you get the optimal width for your position.All in, the spec is a clear expression of Cervlos philosophy: maximum performance at high speed. That focus comes at a cost. At 13,999, the S5 is the most expensive bike in our 2026 aero road bike review. Only the Factor ONE would exceed that in a hypothetical top-spec build, but our tested mid-spec model comes in lower at 13,399. Cervlo therefore set the financial benchmark in this comparison. The question is whether the performance on the road truly justifies that premium.Cervlo S5 2025 13,999SpecificationsSeatpost Cervlo SP34 D-ShapedBrakes Shimano DURA-ACE BR-R9200 160/160 mmDrivetrain Shimano DURA-ACE Di2 R9200 2 x 12Chainring 54/40 TStem Cervlo HB19 100 mmHandlebar Cervlo HB19 400 mmWheelset Reserve 57/64 12 x 100 / 12 x 142Tires Vittoria Corsa Pro 700 x 29cCranks Shimano DURA-ACE FC-R9200 170 mmCassette Shimano DURA-ACE CS-R9200 1134TTechnical DataSize 48 51 54 56 58 61Weight 7,38 kgSpecific FeaturesBayonet forkV-shaped cockpitCustom UDH derailleur hangerCervlo S5 in Review Efficiency Takes the LeadThe Cervlo S5 accelerates from a standstill with surprising ease, and delivers more punch on climbs than you might expect from such a single-minded aero race bike. A big part of that comes down to the geometry, which Cervlo now use across several models. With identical core figures, the Californians seem to have found a platform that works equally well for the climbing-focused R5 and the aero-driven S5. Once you are up to speed, this bike just wants to go even faster.That said, when you line it up against especially lively bikes such as the ROSE Shave FFX or the MERIDA REACTO TEAM, the S5 lacks a touch of explosiveness uphill. It slots in just behind the BMC and Wilier in this regard. The comparatively heavy Reserve wheelset and the aggressive gearing both play their part. Even so, the S5 climbs efficiently and confidently. It feels steady and powerful, rather than razor sharp more of a diesel engine than a pure sprinter on steep gradients.Once you are up to speed, whether on flat roads or in a full-gas sprint, the Cervlo S5 plays to its strengths without compromise. The high frame stiffness, aerodynamically optimised silhouette and large chainrings combine to make the bike feel easier the faster you go almost as if there is no upper limit. In terms of outright efficiency, the S5 ranks among the clear front runners in our 2026 aero road bike review. Thanks to the subtle rise in the cockpit, you can quickly settle into a low, slippery position, and hold it comfortably over long distances.Here, the S5 clearly distances itself from more versatile aero all-rounders such as the Wilier Filante or the ROSE Shave FFX, operating on a similar level to dedicated aero specialists like the Factor ONE. In a sprint, it remains composed and torsionally stiff, converting your effort directly into forward drive.Handling is precise, but not instantly intuitive. Like the Factor, the Cervlo rewards a short familiarisation phase. At high speeds, it feels planted and predictable, tracking confidently and remaining impressively stable. As the pace drops or the road becomes tighter and more technical, the handling is less intuitive than that of the MERIDA, and noticeably less playful than the BMC. On fast descents and long straights, its pronounced composure comes to the fore. Effortless agility and rapid changes of direction are not its main focus. With its deep front end and deep-section rims, the S5 reacts noticeably in gusty crosswinds. It remains manageable at all times, but it does require a sure hand and a bit of experience.Comfort is where the S5 genuinely surprises. Despite its uncompromising concept, it ranks alongside the Wilier and BMC among the more comfortable bikes in this aero road bike comparison. The rear end in particular offers perceptible damping, without ever feeling vague or diluting the bikes race-focused character.In the end, the Cervlo S5 is not a playful all-rounder but a highly efficient high-speed tool. If you thrive on sustained pressure and love riding fast, you are getting one of the quickest and, at the same time, most comfortable aero race bikes in the entire test field. Tuning tip: Try a longer, narrower cockpit to maximise your aero tuck.Who is the Cervlo S5 Made For?The Cervlo S5 is not a one-dimensional specialist, but an aero race bike with a surprisingly broad range. It truly comes into its own wherever speed needs to be built and sustained. Flat to rolling races, long solo breakaways, high-speed sprints from a rolling start, or fast stages ridden at consistently high pace are exactly where this bike shines.Unlike more radical concepts such as the Factor ONE, the S5 also performs impressively well on more demanding terrain. Thanks to its shared geometry with the R5 and its noticeable rear compliance, it remains competitive on rolling courses and longer climbs. Only when the road tilts up sharply and attacks come thick and fast does it lack a touch of snap. Races defined by constant changes of pace will expose that slight deficit in reactivity.Tight criteriums or courses that demand repeated accelerations from low speed are not its ideal playground. In those scenarios, bikes such as the MERIDA REACTO TEAM, the BMC Teammachine R01 or the ROSE Shave FFX feel distinctly more agile and punchy.AccessibilityBeginnerProBLING FACTORlowhighAGILITYsluggishplayfulSTABILITYnervousconfidentHANDLINGdemandingintuitiveEFFICIENCYlowhighACCELERATIONsluggishnimbleFUN FACTORdulllivelyCOMFORTfirmcomfortableVERSATILITYlowhighHelmet Sweet Protection Falconer Aero 2Vi MIPS Block Party LTD | Glasses Sweet Protection Shinobi RIG Reflect | Jersey Canyon CFR Herren Langarmtrikot | Bibs Canyon CFR Cargo Men Bibshort | Shoes Specialized S-Works Ares 2 | Vest Pas Normal Studios Mechanism Stow Away GiletConclusion on the Cervlo S5The Cervlo S5 remains one of the fastest aero road bikes on the market in 2026. It does not win you over with playful handling or featherweight agility, but with sheer efficiency the core principle that defines Cervlo. The faster you ride, the more clearly that efficiency reveals itself. Compared with more versatile aero all-rounders, the S5 gives up a touch of explosiveness. In return, it delivers a ride feel purpose-built for sustained high speed. The fact that it manages to remain surprisingly comfortable is one of the most welcome surprises of this otherwise uncompromising concept.TopsSurprisingly high comfortOutstanding efficiencyImpressive stabilityFlopsFiddly seatpost clampFind out more at cervelo.com.The TestfieldThis bike was tested as part of the 2026 Aero Road Bike Group Test for an overview of this group test as well as all other tested aero bikes, check out the 2026 Aero Road Bike Group Test.All bikes in test: Cervlo S5 | Factor ONE | MERIDA REACTO TEAM | ROSE Shave FFX | Wilier Filante SLR ID2Der Beitrag Cervlo S5 Review in our 2026 Aero Road Bike Comparison erschien zuerst auf GRAN FONDO Cycling Magazine.
