Which raises a good point; both the Ultimate and the Aeroad are race bikes which are by design longer and lower then an endurance bike like the Endurace, which isn't ideally suited to everyone.

At some point the tradeoffs of "it's a bit faster" just aren't worth it and that's individual.

I care about speed for my nice bike and have no issues with a race geometry and narrower tires, but I wouldn't go without discs for instance because an extra 0.1 km/hr just isn't worth it when the tradeoff is braking on carbon rims in the wet.

My other bike which I do gravel / commute / easy road rides on has 33s and a non-aero steel frame, though.
