Why this bike wins here

Glasgow Crit Six is rolling, with 11.0 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where aerodynamics usually counts for clearly more than low weight. The Canyon Aeroad CFR - CANYON//SRAM is an aero frame, the kind of frame that terrain favours. Disc or regular wheels is a close call: the Reserve Infinity Disc-set is 3.5 s faster than the SwissSide HADRON Ultimate 650, but 0.67 kg heavier.
