Wilier is expected to launch their new aero bike on November 10th:

Looks a lot like a new Zero SLR to me, hopefully scoring a bit better than the 220w on Tour Mag

The Filante, which comes after the Cento10 SL which replaced the Cento10 Pro, which replaced the Cento10 Air.. Latter three all claimed to be new models, whereas they're basically identical. All in the span of maybe 3-4 years... I always struggle to understand their thinking when it comes to aero bikes.

And there was the NDR

Cento 10 SL is a mid range version on the pro

The top range bikes are Cento 10 pro, which replaced the Air in the Cento range. Zero SLR is the top of the "Zero" lightweight range (with the zero SL being the mid range version).

SL is for mid range product
SLR and Pro for top of the range
NDR stands for endurance versions

At the moment, all of their Aero have been iterations of the now 3 years old Cento pro, which is actually less aero than their climbing Zero bike (according to Tour Magazine). So hopefully we will get a real aero bike that is not yet another iteration of the Cento 10 pro

If you zoom in on the video, it looks like there's none of the dreaded "knob" at the seat post / top tube junction, that the Zero has. If only they'd get rid of it on the Zero, it just totally kills the look of that bike for me.

Or at least triangle shaped like the Cento pro instead of square shaped ...

What? Was that related to the disc version? Because the Tour test of the rim brake Cento10AIR was in the range of 207w. Which to this date is impressive.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to this release. Though I won't be upgrading from my AIR.
Wilier Cento10AIR - SRAM Force AXS - Road/race
3T Exploro - SRAM Rival AXS XPLR - Gravel
Wilier Sestiere - Shimano Tiagra - Commuter

Which issue were you reading? Cento 10 air/rim is 207 W with 404 FC / 213 W with stocked wheels, while 0 SLR is 220 W with stocked wheels.

Sorry, I guess you guys are referring to this article : https://wilier.com/sites/default/files/ ... nrader.pdf

which puts the F10 at 202w... Not sure how the methodology differs from the 2019 one though.

Also if anyone has the data for the Cento 10 pro, (I remember something around 225w) I'd love to see it.

I can hardly tell the difference with a Cento 10 pro...

Somehow, I find the Wilier lineup quite confusing. First there was the Cento10 Air, then the Pro, which is fine. Then they also released the supposedly more aero, but definitly lighter Zero SLR. After that, they came out with a takedown version of the Pro, the Pro SL, and made it available with rim and disc brakes. And only a month after, they introduced the takedown SL version of the Zero. Now, they seem to present a newer version of the Cento10, presumably with full integration and only disc brakes.
I'd actually like the way they started this: a lightweight climbing bike thats still aero, an aero bike and cheaper, heavier versions of those two along with an endurance version of the aero bike. However, they seem to release bikes every few months, which makes me wonder wether they actually have a clear vision of where they want to go.
Nonetheless, I really like their bikes and wish they would still release rim brake versions like they did with the Cento10 SL

Doesn't really look much exciting. Seems very, very similar to the Cento10 Pro - which again, was the exact same as the Cento10 Air.
