Raw is the fastest colour as the paint is heavy, black the heaviest I understand as it has the greatest pigment density.

No. Gold is fastest – 17.2% faster than any other colour apparently.

given the number of non one word answers I think I’ve been unfairly singled out for criticism here 🙁

to elaborate;

Red fastest uphill
Black fastest down.

No

yes

ive been having a red or black thing for weeks.

red is fastest, so im going with black.

Give the increasing ridiculousness of the answers, I think you might be right 🙂

No, nasty 80’s faded mazda bonnet colour.
Raw with decals floats my boat or lime green. Mat black with gloss black decals looks mega too.

With lacquer 🙂

White.

With a hint or turquoise and the word “Yeti” printed upon it. 😉

Pigeon shit grey

That’s the look I’m aiming for

no.

White FTW!

White

yes

Red fastest uphill
Black fastest down.

which, on reflection, probably explains why my bike with a red front end and a black back end is the one that tries to endo me over the bars on anything remotely downhill.

Bare titanium is fastest. 😉

What about at night?

Yes.

Bringing it back OT

No, blue!

77

Of course. Simple physics innit?
