...........is an Anthem X1 than, say, a similarly specced Superlight?
I'd imagine "none", given the same rider.
But then the anthem would be cheaper, so you could have lighter wheels say, then it'd be "some".
What if Oli B was riding the Giant and a fat, unfit and overpaid engineer the SL? 😆
uphill or down?
20 seconds per kilometer, plus or minus 5 minutes.
not enough to make any difference.
assuming the giant is 1% faster for a given amount of energy
but you enjoy riding he SC more, so give more energy, then the SC is 2% faster, but less efficient.
i would hazard a guess at the anthem being lighter in the frame (so overall lighter for the same build)
BAH
ride them both, its the only way to know.
if it were me, ide go with the Anthem,
maestro is ace.
ive never ridden a superlight though, so couldnt comment on how a Properly set up pro pedal shock on a single pivot, works in comparison to a linkage based system that doesnt really require propedal at all
