The fastest bike for Breakaway Brae Rev.

  • 0.6 km long
  • 15 m of climbing
  • 2.4% average grade
  • Surface92.6% tarmac6.8% gravel0.6% cobbles
  • Timed from the segment's start and ridden once; the flying-start warm-up is not counted.
  • Also on BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits, Dùn Dash, The Epiloch, The Muckle Yin.
  • The exact position of this segment along its host routes isn't in our route data, so length and grade come from the segment's own record, and the surface estimate is borrowed from the host route's overall mix.

No measured elevation profile for this ride, so its terrain is approximated from its distance and total climbing.

Why this bike wins here

Breakaway Brae Rev. is mountainous, with 24.0 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where low weight usually counts for clearly more than aerodynamics. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 is an all-round frame. Disc or regular wheels is a close call: the Cadex 4-Spoke/Disc is 0.08 s faster than the SwissSide HADRON Ultimate 650, but 0.37 kg heavier.

Extra watts are what the fastest setup needs to hold its pace on each surface rather than on tarmac, averaged over the ride - they appear once a ranked setup and mapped surface positions are there to simulate .
