Why this bike wins here

Jarvis KOM is hilly, with 18.0 m of climbing per kilometre, the kind of course where low weight usually counts for a little more than aerodynamics. 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 0.03 s faster than the Princeton Wake 6560 White, but 0.55 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 .

Every time below is simulated for your weight, height and power, entered at racing speed rather than from a standing start.
