"Most exclusive edition ever": Wilier releases Filante Ultimate superbike to mark brand’s 120th anniversary 

Top-end bike launched as Wilier announces healthy turnover for 2025


Wilier has launched a special edition of the Filante SLR ID2 to celebrate its 120 years in business, which makes it one of the oldest bike brands in the world.

The bike is available in a limited edition of 120 and is billed as the “most exclusive edition ever”.

The Filante Ultimate frame combines six carbon fibre types, including the latest Toray M40X high-modulus fibre. It’s kitted out with a range of special components, including wheels and a carbon chainring from Miche, a brand Wilier also owns.

Miche wheels have logos that match the frame.

The Miche Dev RD wheels have CeramicSpeed bearings and there’s a CeramicSpeed OSPW system fitted to the Dura-Ace groupset.

The frame is painted in a new Daylight Silver colour, which is also used for the logos on the wheels, while there's a special 120 logo on many of the components.

Miche also makes the carbon chainring, which bears the 120 logo.

There’s more custom painting in the cockpit, dropouts, thru-axles and rotor lockrings, while the Filante Ultimate even gets custom-coloured bar tape and aero bottles to match. 

The 120 logo appears on the CeramicSpeed OSPW system, too.

Wilier hasn’t announced a price for the flagship Filante Ultimate, but the Dura-Ace equipped Filante SLR ID2, which we reviewed in January, came with a £9,500 price tag without the CeramicSpeed OSPW and Miche carbon chainring. 

Even the aero bottles match the frame.

We found the Filante SLR ID2 to feel as fast and agile as it looks. The bike was specced without a power meter, although the 7.4kg weight for a size-XL bike felt competitive.   

€70m revenue in 2025

The Filante Ultimate will be produced in a limited edition of 120 bikes.

Founded in 1906 in Bassano del Grappa, at the foot of the iconic Monte Grappa, Wilier still has its headquarters within sight of the famous climb.

Wilier’s CEO, Andrea Gastaldello, has also given an update on the brand’s performance, with a 7% increase in volume growth so far in 2026 and 2025 revenues of €70m. Gastaldello adds the results were due to the success of models such as the Filante SLR ID2, Rave SLR ID2 and Rapida.

“For 2026, we aim to achieve a gross operating margin of 10% of revenue and we continue to work with a long-term perspective oriented towards growth and value creation,” Gastaldello says.

“Our development priorities are clear: strengthening our presence in the gravel segment, accelerating growth in non-European markets and further consolidating our positioning in the key European markets,” Gastaldello states.
