Well same engine and my experience .. AHH vs Giant Tcr advanced. .. Riding position about 2mph difference in cruising speed... Wheels and tires and generator hub another mph or even 2 ... So instead of cruising along at 25mph it's around 20 21. There is a cost for that comfort. I can't quantify aceleration other than to say in a sprint no comparison...combination weight wheels shifters everything.
It's not apples to apples and if you are trying to hang on to fast group rides where your engine is barely enough to hang on every mile per hour is huge. I don't want my carbon race bike back.. I do know that bikes/components make a big difference when it comes to speed as much as it does with comfort. Now at that 15 to 18 mph on flats casual ride there is no difference to me. Guess that's why i love my riv's ... I'm riding more for fun and less for speed. Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
