- The Filante SL ID2 adopts the aero frame shape, geometry and integration concept of the Filante SLR ID2, but is significantly cheaper at 4,800–6,600 euros.  
- New R-Bar cockpit, internal cable routing, 34 mm tyre clearance, UDH derailleur hanger, removable derailleur mount and Aerokit SL/SLR options.  
- Criticism of the predecessor centred mainly on heavy wheelsets and tyres; some of the same Miche/Vittoria combinations are also used on certain versions of the new SL.

Wilier Filante SL ID2: Professional-grade technology for the second tier

- A frame with up to 57 mm of tyre clearance, slightly reduced stiffness and new geometry for greater comfort and stability off-road.  
- Integrated adventure features such as a down tube storage compartment, tools in the handlebar ends, a top tube bag and an additional bottle cage on the fork.  
- Two carbon frames (HMX, HMF), five models with single-chainring drivetrains, 160 mm rotors, prices ranging from €2,799 to €8,999 and unclear weight specifications.

Scott Addict Gravel 2027: Suspension woven into the carbon fibre

- The Storck Fascinario.5 is an aerodynamic road bike with 35-mm tyres, designed as an ‘all-rounder’ and suitable for moderate terrain.  
- Handling: extremely agile, explosive and designed for speed; it encourages an aggressive riding style with a strong racing character.

- The Megamo Silk MY27 remains an uncompromising race gravel bike with two carbon lay-ups (SLR, SL) and unchanged, aggressive geometry.  
- New additions include the mullet setup on the Silk 04, the GRX Di2 model Silk 05 and updated specifications; the Silk 06 and 07 remain unchanged.  
- All models feature an integrated carbon cockpit, internal cable routing, 1x/2x compatibility, the UDH standard and limited tyre clearance of up to 47/52 mm.

Megamo Silk 2027 gravel bike: clearly aimed at the racing market

- A price range of up to around €3,000 is usually sufficient for a serious gravel bike; the ideal weight is 9–9.5 kg without expensive extras such as electronic gear changes.  
- Mail-order brands often offer better value for money, whilst specialist retailers score highly for advice, local service, reputation and exclusivity.  
- The choice of drivetrain, tyres, controls and weight depends on intended use: speed gravel bikes for racing, heavier bikes for touring, everyday use and comfort.

Gravel Bike

- Serious faults with e-gravel bikes purchased from online retailers often lead to service and repair issues due to a lack of local dealers.  
- Structured complaints procedure: document error codes; submit a support ticket to the retailer, use their partner network or send the bike directly to the manufacturer.  
- With online platforms, the retailer is always the contractual partner; local shops are not obliged to carry out warranty work on bikes purchased elsewhere.

- The Storck Aernario.3 Platinum Max Performance weighs 5.4 kg, achieved through radical lightweight construction using selected carbon frames and components from the tuning scene.  
- Riding characteristics: very lively and nimble, yet responsive and spirited; the frame is stiff, comfort is good, and the riding position is sporty and suitable for long distances.  
- Limitations: 1x12 drivetrain with a 46-tooth chainring and 10–36 cassette, narrow 25 mm tyres, some components are uncomfortable; the target audience is affluent tech enthusiasts.

- Good comfort despite the aero focus, tyre clearance up to 32 mm, weight 7.7 kg (size M), RRP €4,799, an attractive aero road bike package.

Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2: Aero performance at a competitive price

- Teams use a wide range of aerodynamic tricks involving the rider’s body, clothing, cockpit, bike and support vehicles to minimise air resistance.  
- The UCI responds continuously with rule changes and bans whenever optimisations compromise safety, fairness or clothing regulations.  
- Innovation and unauthorised modifications are closely linked; new aerodynamic ideas are copied, taken to extremes and eventually regulated.

Aero road bike

- New Pinarello X Series: endurance to all-road road bikes, now compatible with tyres up to 40 mm, five models ranging from 3,200 to 11,000 euros.
- Redesigned rear triangle with X-Stays 2.0 and a flexible carbon seatpost is designed to enhance comfort and control on rough terrain.

The new Pinarello X: an Italian endurance bike with plenty of tyre clearance and storage space

- The Endurace CF SLX combines aerodynamic design with an upright geometry, a comfort-oriented handlebar layout and ample tyre clearance of up to 38 mm.

Marathon bike/endurance road bike

- Uncertainty when riding downhill is usually caused by beginner’s mistakes; control, rather than speed, is key to safe, fast riding.  
- Important technical tips: a relaxed posture, grip on the lower handlebars, looking ahead, braking before the bend, maintaining a clean line, and paying attention to pedal position.  
- Hazards such as loose gravel, wet surfaces or oil require constant vigilance; only ride at a speed that makes you feel safe, and avoid peer pressure.

- The Canyon Aeroad CFR Di2 2025 remains the benchmark for aero bikes, with a stiff, lightweight CFR carbon frame, high agility and unexpected long-distance comfort.  
- Compared to its structurally identical successor, it lacks only the UDH derailleur hanger and configurable handlebar options, but the price has been reduced by 1,500 euros.  
- Specs: Dura-Ace Di2 2x12 with power metre, DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut 55 mm, Conti GP 5000 S TR, weight 7.12 kg, current price 7,499 euros.

- The final stage in Nice is a 99.2-km mountain criterium featuring immediate action, steep 13 per cent gradients and a fast descent to the finish line at the harbour.
- Simulations show: The Cervélo S5 gains 50 seconds over the lighter but less aerodynamic Cervélo R5 by the finish line.
- Weight and aerodynamics are crucial: an extra 400 g costs around 5 seconds on the climbs, whilst aerodynamic advantages have an even greater impact on the descents.
