My experience is different. For me both Clem L and Cheviot are similar regarding effort to speed ratio. I have not found the Cheviot any speedier than the Clem. The Clem does better in rough stuff and is an equal on the road. Cheviot is easier to mount and dismount with load. Both are NOT bikes I would take on unloaded "spirited" rides. Sure, I have done 100k ride on the Cheviot just because, but my 100k times on my Boulder or Blackmountain are significantly faster.
