Without trying to get into specifics, my impression on longer rides is that the Riv's are way more comfortable and easier to manage over the long haul. I think the combination of geometry and larger tires makes for much less effort over long distances. I have ridden my Hunq fully loaded for over 120miles on some days, slept on the ground at night, and woke up without an ache or pain. I could never say that about a typical road bike, or even the LHT when I had it.
