So, generally speaking, lots of folks agree that "speed" comes more from the engine than anywhere else. I have a Road and a Saluki which is not that far off from a Roadeo and AHH comparison. The Roadeo is lighter than the Road is, but not by too much. The Road is about 2 mph on average faster for me over a 30 mile or longer course. For short sprints, I can go equally fast (or slow, if you ask around here about my lethargic pace) on either one. The Road responds faster, has spring and zip and very quick steering. The Saluki carries front rear luggage without complaint and can actually be steered with that stuff hung on it, and with semi knobby fatter tires on, is reliable on dirt roads/trails too. They do different things better, but the have overlap on what they both do the same.
