We will then see the athletes of the Groupama - FDJ team on the Wilier Triestina Filante SLR which is offered at €12,700.

In short, bicycles… like true champions!

A Giro d'Italia bike weighs approximately 7 kg. To be fast, cyclists and their equipment must be light... so the bicycles of the champions at the Giro d'Italia 2024 are designed down to the smallest detail to guarantee excellent performance. Geometries designed for the best aerodynamics, weight kept within the permitted limits (by regulation the minimum permitted is 6.8kg) and high quality components. The new standards of professional cycling require a carbon frame, electronic shifting and disc brake.
