The seat tube and seat stay junction seems to have widened compared to the SL8 for aerodynamics (it feels like the BMC R01 and Benje vibes)
The BCG seems like it will get more expensive, and it's said to have reduced a few grams and become a few watts faster~ I think that's how it'll be, but the technological innovation is the same up to the SL8. Honestly, I don't know what the real difference is anymore. I wish Specialized would try various approaches like Factor One... hmm... ㅠㅠ
To be honest, the S5 was built with such solid fundamentals that in the new model they only managed to reduce it by 1@@g, and the wattage difference is only about 9w. At this level, it's the kind of problem that can be solved by just dropping your posture by about 2 degrees more
What do you all think? I think it's become too perfect like the Giant TCR, so there's nothing left to change anymore
