10/10 Content. Did not expect those results

[@brunodelverme275]

I’ve seen things in the past from bike manufacturers stating that aero bikes are faster on climbs until the grade gets into the 8% region. Was hard to believe at first but I tested my gen 7 madone against my cervelo r5 as you guys did here and the only place the r5 was better was up my local climb that’s 3.2 miles at 9% average. I also tested them on a 5% grade and like your test my aero bike was faster. Interesting stuff.

[@kidsafe]

It’s a moving target. The faster the cyclist, the steeper the grade before the light bike becomes faster. But also lighter bikes have gotten more aero so that makes the crossover point earlier again.

[@blade-ti6md]

7:22 interesting!!!

[@bluemystic7501]

I'd have a hard time believing that marketing release. I respect your test, but these bike companies are basically saying there's an aero advantage at slow speeds too?

[@Shadowboost]

​@@bluemystic7501 there's a cross over point, obviously. For slower riders it's around 5-6%. For faster it's around 8% gradient

[@bluemystic7501]

@@Shadowboost And of course these are solo rides, right? I've been thinking about these aero conversations a lot. What is the aero benefit of an aero bike when riding/racing in groups?

[@danielwatson6510]

Keep this content coming two guys enjoying bikes not taking it to seriously. 👍🏼

[@samlovin9344]

Congrats on 10k! Always love these scientific tests, helmet giveaway is epic

[@007short]

Excited to see this one! Been drawn towards the S5 for a while, I'll just let you both decide for me with this vid

[@spencergoodwin8448]

The aspero vid was a huge help in which bike I decided to start saving towards! Will keep this in the catalog too as I build my N+1 collection...

[@walkerbikes8]

Love the vibe and honest chat about the s5 and madone

[@emirhankour7261]

Pleasantly surprised to see a road bike review video, you guys are killing it.

[@thomashines8]

This is actually the video I needed!! I’ve been looking for this comparison for my new bike!

[@jamesmount3649]

Awesome & fun video as always. Congrats on 10K.

[@pavement_menace]

Homies, love where your channel is going, congrats on 10K! I've got about 1000Km now on my Madone Gen8 SLR and I gotta tell you. This is by far the most comfortable road bike I've ever ridden. And I've ridden the Gen6 for thousands of KM's. I'm also using the exact same wheelset and 30mm tires that were on my old Gen6 so it's a direct comparison.

[@robpittman3132]

Interesting that you found the S5 more compliant despite Cervelo S-series bikes being historically harsh and Trek’s claims about IsoFlow offering IsoSpeed-like comfort. Send me a helmet!

[@alkoma4586]

I'm thinking it's mainly from the dropped seat stays... Iso flow may do something but probably not enough to compensate for the fact that the seat stays go directly to the top tube 🤷‍♂️

[@greenbee001]

He might have mixed up the results.😄

[@josephreilman8527]

​@@alkoma4586Trek probably compensates by using softer carbon in that area. The gen 7 is ridiculously comfortable

[@nomad7719]

My S5 is 2022 model but not hash at all. Only stiff in head tube area but rear has a little compliant and able to reserve leg. However not soft at all

[@Jinisanickname]

IT’S THE BOTTLES! (Which BTW I bought from The Bicycle Station) Always entertaining. Thank you

Found your KZbin chanel because of the checkmate vs the aspero video and the vibe is super chill. Make a coffe and sit comfortably kind of videos. Love the content!

[@alexanderkonyha6131]

Cervelo needs more color options, I feel like they’re missing out especially on a standout frame like the S5. Also need that new Evade to make up for unaero bottle cages 😬

[@JBmadera]

Congrats on 10K fellas! Great comparison!! Hoping to win Evade!

[@UltimateTuner10]

I remember in your Gen 7 Madone test you said it was one of the most comfortable bikes you rode and it’s funny how TREK market the Gen 8 as like 80% more compliant but you say it was one of the harshest. Still hoping you do a Gen 7 gs Gen 8 comparison

[@paulmastermann2200]

yes also wish for a comp!

[@adamkubiak1933]

Please note than gen8 is spec'd with no offset. More weight pushed towards the front end. Hence the harsher ride.

[@UltimateTuner10]

@@adamkubiak1933Gen 7 also comes with 0 offset post standard on both SL and SLR

[@hansraven8378]

I have both. The gen8 is noticable more compliant. The Cervelo was tested by german bike magazin as very harsh to ride.
