Race-Tested Speed: The Bike Behind Our CiCLE Classic
If you’ve watched our latest CiCLE Classic video, you’ll have seen our riders pushing hard across one of the UK’s toughest race courses.
Rough roads. Technical sections. Full-gas efforts.
And at the centre of it all? The bike we trust when it matters most.
The Bike Team PAU Rides: Wilier Filante SL 105 Di2 SWR Road Bike
£2,978.40
Our team is racing on the Wilier Filante SL 105 Di2 SWR Bike in Red— and this isn’t some unobtainable pro-only machine.
It’s the same bike you can walk into PAU and see for yourself.

Built for Real-World Speed
The Filante SL is designed around pure race performance—but crucially, it’s built for the kind of roads we actually ride.
– Aero frame derived from Wilier’s top-tier race bikes
– Lightweight carbon construction (~1kg frame) for climbing and acceleration.
– Clearance for wider tyres, giving more grip and comfort on rough UK roads.
– Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting for precise gear changes under load.
What that means in practice? You get a bike that’s fast when you push it—but forgiving enough to ride hard for longer.
Proven Under Pressure
It’s easy to talk about performance. It’s harder to prove it.
In the CiCLE Classic, these bikes are:
- Accelerating out of tight corners
- Holding speed over broken surfaces
- Staying stable when the pace surges
That’s not marketing—that’s race-day reality.
And it’s exactly the same platform you can ride.

Why This Matters To You
You don’t need to be racing the CiCLE Classic to benefit from a bike like this. If you:
- Want a bike that feels quick the moment you push on the pedals
- Ride mixed road surfaces (like most of the UK)
- Or are stepping up to your first serious performance road bike
This is exactly where the Filante SL sits. It’s a proper race bike—but one you can actually live with.
See it in the Flesh

Videos are great—but bikes like this make sense when you see them up close.

If you’ve watched the video and thought “that looks fast”—you’re right.
