It's been a while since we've taken on GCN in a challenge so we've invited the big man Conor Dunne to our stomping ground, the Forest of Dean for a vertical kilometre challenge! What goes up must come down and Rich hopes that a lightweight XC hardtail and familiar descents work in his favour as he strives to put out a bigger VAM number than our lycra-clad counterparts!

Make them race the same hills, 1 tarmac, 1 trail (mtb territory) and 1 compact gravel. And lets see what wins, ligher bike OR better gearing. I could climb the hills nearby better on my 10kg road/urban bike than my 12kg mtb or my 14kg gravel. But those are short and steep so pushing hard its much easier.

@izi941 14 дней назад

Sure it depends mainly on the rider….but generally speaking, MTBs are more suitable for uphill than road bikes. And MTBkers make daily much more elevation and much steeper climbs than roadies. After all, road bikes are made for speed and endurance, and MTBs…well, it’s in the name. So yeah, an average MTBker on MTB will make 1000vam faster than average road biker on road bike.

@richeeg3271 11 дней назад

@paul4292 11 дней назад

@@richeeg3271true but I want to know whats harder, for example if I do 25km with my enduro in the woods or if a friend does 100km on the street with his road bike? Cause Its not only the bike its also the softer loser ground that makes a difference etc etc. Ive seen a video where they did that with xc or trail vs enduro if I remember correcly. They had garmin pedals to see the watts. The enduros did the route in about 2 minutes and the xc/trail bikes were like 20-30 seconds faster with same watts. So about 1/4 faster. So if you and a friend ride, you enduro, he a lighter faster trail or xc bike and you go up a hill with same power. Your friend reaches the top in 45minute and you will need 1 hour with same energy output

@lewismcgillion8949 11 дней назад

@WendsH 10 дней назад

@@izi941 Nah, I'd say the road bike would still be faster, especially if they had comparable gear ratios. No power loss to suspension, and lighter weight bike overall means less to haul up a gradient. If there's leafs or sand on the road, though, MTB takes it lol

@noneofyourbusiness4294 8 дней назад

@@WendsH generally speaking, you won't have similar gear ratios between the two, unless you set the bikes up for that particular challenge. Mtbs do have the advantage on a challenge like this, it's just a matter of fact. Road bike cassettes typically stop where mtb cassettes start. And the ratios are much, much closer together. And that's absolutely fine. Roadbikes, while they do have to do some climbing, are more focused on endurance. Or in other words: slight differences that can keep you going. Mtbs.. yeah, unless you're riding downhill, in which case even a 7 speed cassette will do the trick, because you won't be climbing, but taking a lift... you're gonna look at something along the lines of 42, 46, maybe even 51 teeth on the lowest gear. It's what the bike and drivetrain are designed for. On steep climbs, the mtb will win. When it comes to going fast and being stable: road bike all the way. You barely can compare the two in a fair setting, if at all. Or in other words: if you want to drive a screw, use a screwdriver, not a hammer, although it may get the job done

@witoldrudnicki8962 14 дней назад

Best possible opponent with very bad strategy. Conor is big guy so by definition bad climber. And his strategy - going fast on gentle slopes is very bad. One should minimize the road traveled and speed so least possible effort is used to fight rolling resistance and wind resistance. Also minimize time downhill. Both conditions mean go on a steep road - as steep as still relatively easy to ride 12 to 15 kph.
