Why this bike wins here

R.G.V. is flat, with 5.5 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where aerodynamics usually counts for far 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 5.2 s faster than the SwissSide HADRON Ultimate 650, but 0.67 kg heavier.
