Why this bike wins here

Lady Liberty is hilly, with 16.7 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where aerodynamics usually counts for about as much as low weight. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 is an all-round frame, the kind of frame that terrain favours. Disc or regular wheels is a close call: the Cadex 4-Spoke/Disc is 1.1 s faster than the Princeton Wake 6560 White, but 0.55 kg heavier.
