00:02is it a fast bike yes it is a fast bike now in our wind tunnel results this is as
00:09a bike only
00:10the fastest gravel bike we have ever tested stick a rider on it and with the margin of error it's
00:15essentially indistinguishable from the specialized crux and the willier rave also when we swapped out
00:21these black ink wheels for our stock wheel set which is a set of envy g ses 6.7 pros
00:28it was the
00:30fastest there as well so while these blacking wheels themselves are very very fast in another
00:35test there's another write-up for that which you can go and look at the frame itself holds its own
00:40it's not just being dragged up by the wheels despite the really wide forks and the really
00:44really deep wheels we didn't see much of a sale effect uh going on with the alara versus something
00:49like the factor one it's very much a kind of classic v shape in terms of how it deals with
00:53your angles kind of gets progressively slower as the wind comes from wider and wider angles what
00:59is impressive is this is only 10.45 watts slower than the old look blade which is a world tour
01:04level
01:05road race bike with narrow tires and you know narrow front end and all that kind of jazz
01:12and so the gulf between gravel race bikes and road race bikes is getting smaller and smaller all the time
