to the performance of your bike?

性能表現有多少的差別

- Well, we're going to find out in

我們將要來實驗

"Cheap Bike vs. Super Bike".

廉價單車 VS 頂級單車

- Ding, ding!

叮~叮~

- Two bikes at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

兩部單車的價格非常極端

Firstly is this, Canyon's Aeroad bike.

首先是這台Canyon的空力車

Lightweight, carbon fibre, moulded into aerodynamic

重量非常輕，由碳纖維製成的空力造型車架

shapes, but not at the expense of comfort.

但卻沒有犧牲舒適性

And on board,

而在車架上

We have Shimano's latest and greatest R9170 groupset.

安裝有最新的Shimano R9170套件

And that means electronic shifting and hydraulic brakes.

而這代表它擁有電子變速及液壓碟煞的功能

And also we have Shimano C40 wheels,

另外還有Shimano的C40輪組

so low weight and aero too.

非常輕又兼具空氣力學

- Yeah. And then, we've got this a Raleigh,

是的，然後我們還準備了這台Raleigh

which we bought on eBay, for 90 pounds.

我們在ebay上花了90英鎊(約3600台幣)購買這台車

To be fair to it, it is actually an awful lot of bike

說真的，這個價格可以買的單車很多

for the money, but how much of a handicap is it going to be?

但它會有多少問題呢?

You know what mate?

其實我覺得這台車還可以

I actually think it's all right.

除了把帶不是白色的

Apart from the bar tape, that's not white,

但其餘的都還行

but the rest of its all right.

恩...這點很重要

- Yeah. It's pretty much spot on this side.

第一回合

Round number one.

這回合非常簡單，爬坡

- It's simple on this one, climbing.

人跟車子一起對抗這個不算輕鬆的斜坡

Man and machines, against this.

總長只有2公里，平均11%的坡度

Which is actually a particularly uncomfortable climb.

但我覺得大部分的坡大概都有20%以上

Just shy of 2 km long, an average gradient of 11%,

一個非常難騎的坡

which I always think is weird

呃...我還是選那台車好了

because most of it feels like its above 20%.

不不不不，它畢竟在我屁股下

It's a tough one.

所以第一回合的爬坡我還是騎它就好了

Ah, I'll just grab that one for now shall I?

如果你不介意的話

- No, no, no, no, this is mine after all Si,

是啦，因為我知道你會在比較累的時候騎這台車

so I'm going to have first dibs on this.

現在我覺得好多了

For the first ascent, if that's okay?

好啊，沒差啦朋友

It's all right mate.

如果你想這樣做的話

- Yeah, it's all right, 'cause you will be tired

那是你要求的喔

then when you will be riding this one.

喔，我有提到我們要全力以赴嗎?

And that one will feel better.

這兩台車在爬坡上主要的差異，就是他們的重量

Okay, that's fine mate,

頂級單車加上Wahoo Element碼表後的重量是7.3公斤

if you want to do it that way 'round.

對於一台搭載碟煞的空氣力學車款來說是非常的出色

It's your call.

而我們選的廉價單車則是重達11.95公斤

- [Matt] Oh, and have we mentioned,

重量差超過50%

we're going flat out?

好的，所以你先走

Now the major difference between these two bikes

我會比你晚一分鐘出發

when climbing, it their weight.

沒問題

The Super Bike is a lean and mean 7.3kg,

但我並不期望能趕上你

with a Wahoo Elemnt attached.

準備好了嗎?

Remarkable, when you take into consideration that it's an

恩，祝我好運吧

Aero bike, with disc brakes.

我們走吧

And our cheap bike, is a rather weighty 11.95kg,

你看看，真是美妙的動作

a difference of over 50%.

(自己倒數)

- All right, Si you go first,

第一次測試~哇~吼~

I'm going to give you a minute.

我討厭那個坡!我超級討厭那個坡(喘氣)

- Okay.

儘管如此，我還是喜歡這台車

- But I'm not overly hopeful to catch you.

感覺不錯

You know what to do?

主要還是在於它的齒比

- Yeah, alright, wish me luck.

我大盤用34t，飛輪30t，來騎完這個坡

Off we go!

讓我們來看看另一位用競賽齒比的結果如何

- Look at that! Poetry in motion.

他愛死爬坡了對吧?他愛死了

- Beep, beep, beep, boop!

那是我很久沒有的爬坡表現了

The first time, whoa hoa!

不過我甚至不需要特別去注意車子

- Aaahhh, I hate that climb! I absolutely hate that climb.

他表現得非常好

To be fair though, I do like this bike.

我有點被他榨乾

That felt cool!

但我還是使盡了全力

Most importantly of all up there, big range of gears.

一開始還蠻穩定的，但當坡開始陡的時候

I ended up using my lowest, which is 34 at the front,

我還是得使盡全力爬完它

and 30 at the back.

你可以看到我有多辛苦

So we'll see how it goes on the other one,

因為我的車褲上有擤不掉而滴下去的鼻涕

with racier gears.

我的袖套上也有一點

He loves it doesn't he? He loves it!

00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,520 換車之後進行第二次測試

- Well, that's my first proper hill climb for a

除了重量之外，還有變速系統的問題

long, long, time but I didn't even need to think

必須得說踩踏上沒有覺得有特別的不同

about the bike, it worked a dream,

即使是便宜的變速系統也非常有效率

it's just me that's a little bit lacking,

只要你保持乾淨的話

but I certainly emptied the tank,

鍊條跟飛輪也是相當的不錯

went a bit steady early on, but when that steep bit,

就像你知道的，我一直有提到這點

pitched up I just had to give it everything just to get up.

兩部車子的齒比範圍則是差不多

- Yeah, you can see how hard I went mate,

即使頂級單車是22速的，而廉價單車是16速

'cause I got a patch of snot on my leg warmer,

雖然Canyon是一部競賽用的公路車

that I cant' get off.

但新一代的Shimano DURA-ACE還是相容11-30t

- I got a little bit on my sleeve as well.

兩台車在這方面是一樣的

- Yeah, British hill climbs eh?

好的，第二次測試，我就是在期待這個

- [Si] Run number two then, after a quick bike swap.

你的頂級時刻，我的廉價時光

As well as the weight, there's also the issue of the gears,

上路吧，用盡全力

pedalling doesn't feel particularly different.

我會的

It has to be said.

好了，你可以走了

Even cheaper gears are remarkably efficient.

你看看，多棒啊

As a design, chains and sprockets are fantastic.

00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:13,560 我的老天啊這感覺真的很棒

Just as long as you keep them clean.

有點硬、敏捷

Which as you know, I do mention from time to time.

我很想知道結果

The gear range of the two bikes is broadly similar.

但是，這純粹只是我的體感

Even if our Super Bike has 22 and our Cheap Bike has 16.

這是我比較擔心的部分

And although the Canyon is an out and out race bike,

我們走囉，廉價時光

the new Shimano DURA-ACE has allowed us to fit

第一次

an 11 to 30 cassette, which is just as well, up here.

開始囉，第二次測試

- Okay, run number two, I'm looking forward

車子沒有感受到太大的差異

to this actually, weirdly enough.

有感受到一點重量

- Super Bike time for you, Cheap Bike for me.

設定有點不一樣

- Go on Si, give it all you got mate.

但較便宜的變速系統也是非常有效率

- Oh, will do mate. Off you go.

基於設計、鍊條跟齒片

Look at that, sweet as a nut.

只要你保持乾淨的話，他們運作的很不錯

- Wah hoo! Yeah!

只是我們並不是所有人都有這麼做

Oh my goodness me that feels good!

00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:34,780 我討厭這樣說，但我得說

Like stiff, responsive, I'm intrigued to know the results.

這就像夜晚跟白天一樣

But, purely based on perception,

非常的不同

this is another world I'm afraid.

儘管實際上在陡峭的地方並沒有那麼不同

- Here we go, cheap bike time!

最大的不同在於起身抽車加速時

First time.

(不知道意思)

Well, here we go, run number two,

套句三屆環法冠軍Greg LeMond的話說

and the bike doesn't feel too much different.

這沒有造成甚麼傷害，你就是騎得很快

Feel the weight a bit,

問題是到底有多快

positions a bit different.

而答案是還真的相差有點多

But even the cheaper gears are remarkably efficient

Matt跟我自己都差了快一分鐘

and that was design, the chain and the cogs,

對應起來時間上大概差了10%

well it's just great, especially if you keep them clean.

恩，那感覺上怎麼樣?

As not all of us presenters do.

畢竟那也非常地重要

- Whoa.

對我來說，很明顯地這台Canyon

I hate to say it, but that was,

頂級的單車感覺更快一些

that was like night and day.

反應更快，我必須承認

That was very different.

我花了很多時間站起來抽車

Although, less so in the steep there actually.

而力量的傳達感覺更好

The biggest difference was when getting out of

這台我感覺坐著更舒服，並以不太一樣的方式傳達動力

the seat and accelerating.

只是感覺就很一般，稍微有些停頓

And I managed to stick it in the big ring over the top.

第二回合，隨著今天爬坡測試的結束

Which you see at times.

我們要來個簡單但很重要的測試

Well to paraphrase, three time Tour de France Champion

剎車

Greg LeMond, it doesn't hurt any less, you just go faster.

這個Shimano碟煞推出時

The question is, how much faster?

真的是個震撼彈

And the answer is actually quite a lot wasn't it?

它有你需要的所有力量

Nearly a minute, for both Matt and myself.

但隨著模組的改進

Which corresponds to just about 10% time difference.

意味著你可以用那力量來更快地煞住車子

- Yeah, what about the feeling?

而不是在路上打滑

'Cause that's pretty important too.

而外胎呢?

Well for me, obviously, this bike, the Canyon,

他們也是很棒的標準配備

the Super Bike, did feel faster.

馬牌的competition 25C管胎

Far more responsive and I must admit,

這是個非常簡單的測試

I spent a lot more time out of the saddle,

維持時速40公里的下坡狀態

I felt the power was transmitted far better.

然後盡可能地在最短時間內煞住車子

This bike, I felt more comfortable sitting down and

這姿勢的重心分配真優秀

applying the power in a slightly different way.

謝謝啦

It just felt generally, a little bit more sluggish.

沒問題，進展很順利

- [Si] Round number two, with the climbing

5.4公尺

out of the way for today, we've got a simple,

所以標準已經出來了

but very important test. Braking.

而我們的廉價單車又會有甚麼表現?

- These Shimano hydraulic breaks are the absolute

樂觀點來說，剎車線相當的滑順

bomb, when it comes to performance.

我花了點時間調整

They've got all the power you need,

歪了一邊的剎車塊

but with added modulation.

不過你會看到我按住剎車時

Meaning, you can use that power to stop, far quicker,

卡鉗本身實際上有相當大的歪斜

rather than skidding down the road.

意思是你可能會損失一點力量

And the tyres?

而且你的調整又會沒用

Well they're gold standard as well.

而且我還偷偷地懷疑

Continental Competition, 25 mil, tubulars.

這些剎車皮是非常硬的

- [Matt] It's a pretty simple test, riding at

這意味著他們可以使用的比較久

40kmph, downhill, and then trying to stop

但就沒有辦法讓我們快速地慢下來

as quickly as possible.

不過，我還是要來場測試

- Woof, the weight distribution, that was impressive.

00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,700 請讓那輛單車維持穩定

- Thanks mate.

抱歉，Matt

- That's all right, went well.

00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,300

5.4, well 5 and a half, 5.4 so 5 metres 40, 5.40.

00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:25,020 10.5公尺

- So the markers been laid down,

所以我們有5.4公尺和10.5公尺的紀錄

how is our cheap bike gonna fare?

是的，大概停在兩倍的煞車距離

Well, on the positive side, the cables are super smooth.

結果都出來了

Loads of life left in the pads,

而我可以跟你說，這兩台車的剎車距離

and I have spent time setting them up.

幾乎是100%的不同

However, you'll see if I squish on the lever,

我的意思是，那我們公平點

there's quite a lot of flex actually in the calliper itself,

Raleigh煞得也足夠安全

meaning that you can lose a bit of power,

但是Canyon的剎車力道

and you're going to lose modulation.

則是令人印象深刻

And, I've got a sneaking suspicion,

恩，那是相當大的差別

that these pads are really hard compound.

無法否認這是一場人為的測試

Meaning that they're going to last a super long time.

所以在實際騎車的時候

But, they're not actually going

你不會有那麼多需要緊急剎車的時候

to slow us down very quickly.

總之希望不要有

Still, I'm going to give it a good go.

但你必須知道不是嗎?

- Ooph.

如果在整趟騎乘的過程中

- Just keep that bike steady please, Si.

即使剛到路口或下坡時出現這種差異

- Sorry Matt, sorry.

你會認為這有相當大的影響

- Thanks Mate.

不是嗎?

- 10 Bang on, 10.5.

或你將會這樣認為

- 10.5, so we have 5...

第三個挑戰，下坡

- 10.5 metres

現在帶上我們的剎車知識

- So we have 5.4 and 10.5, ahhh...

來想想是那些因素可以加強這台車下坡的表現

- Yeah so, roughly stopped at double the stopping distance.

如果更好的剎車效能會讓我們速度更快嗎?

Wow Si, the results are in.

改版增強後的空氣力學會更有幫助嗎?

And I can tell you, there's nearly 100% difference

是的，這會相當有趣不是嗎?

in the stopping distances of the two bikes.

現在你知道我們現場並沒有

I mean, let's be fair.

一座可供下坡的高山

The Raleigh, it stopped safe enough

但這條路也是相當不錯的選擇

- Yeah, yeah.

總共3公里長，平均坡度5%

- But the stopping power of the Canyon

好了不要在背後偷笑

is mightily impressive.

這是我們目前最好的了

- Yeah. There was a significant difference.

因為這是一般道路所以我們不會瓦數全開催下去

Admittedly, this is quite a controlled test,

而且我們也不是肖年仔了

so there's not going to be that many occasions

儘管如此，我想我們還是來看看我們怎麼進行

where you'd be doing an emergency stop in real life.

但很明顯的，我要再一次騎這台頂級單車

Well, hopefully not anyway.

等會見囉Si

But you've go to wonder, haven't you?

好了，頂級單車下坡去

That if that difference over the course of the whole ride,

我們走吧

even just coming up to junctions and on descents,

喔不!我沒有上到卡

and things, you'd have thought that would have

好了，我們走吧

quite a big effect, wouldn't you?

在一台我不熟悉的單車上

Or will it?

騎我熟悉的下坡

- Challenge number three. Descending.

不太好的剎車，但我們給他一點機會吧

Now armed with our braking knowledge,

差了25秒

just how are these bikes going to stack up?

真是令人不可置信

Will the added confidence of better braking make us faster?

好的，那讓我們來看一下這台車

Will the improved aerodynamics help as well?

在下坡時它的空氣力學造型

- Yeah. It's going to be interesting isn't it?

是非常重要的一點

Now you know that we don't exactly have any Alpine

而且下坡時有點逆風

descents on our doorstop,

但是，碟煞非常的給力

but this one is pretty good.

在經過轉彎時給我很大的信心

3 km long, an average gradient of 5%.

與一般的剎車相比我可以更晚一點按煞車

All right, stop laughing at the back.

而且即使在下雨的時候也很棒

It's the best we've got okay?

所以，空氣力學造型跟這些絕佳有力的剎車

We're not going to go flat out because it's open roads

相當有用

and we are of course getting old, but nevertheless,

恩...但我還是無法相信只差25秒

I think we should see how we get on.

關於這個，我上了最重的齒比但還是太輕

- But significantly, I get to go on the Super Bike again.

所以我就沒持續踩踏了

See you in a bit Si, hee hee.

而我有一直再踩，因為我的齒比比你重

Okay, Super Bike run, downhill.

我們需要把這個也列入考量

Here we go, oh no! I'm not clipped in!

是啊，是啊

- Okay, here we go. A descent I know well.

但是...25秒耶

On a bike I'm not very familiar with.

我並沒有期待這一點耶

Poor brakes, but let's give it a nudge.

我並沒有期待

- 25 seconds.

這是另一個殘酷的簡單測試

- I cannot believe that. Literally.

使盡全力地騎10公里遠

- Well, lets have a little look at this bike though,

到目前為止，這兩台單車的差異都很重要

aerodynamics have got to play a big part.

而我想這差距是沒辦法逾越的

- Yeah. Yeah.

但我有種預感

- Okay, on that descent. There's no...

在這個回合，頂級單車將使出殺手鐧

And there was a bit of a headwind on the descent.

雖然你在你的Elemnt Bolt碼表上

But, disc brakes.

已經節省了1.5瓦

So much power, they give me so much confidence

恩...這不能被忽略掉

going into those corners.

加1.5瓦回來吧

I could brake, relatively late compared to using

那會比我們想像的更好

normal calliper brakes.

為什麼我會有預感

And even in these wet conditions as well.

這將會是很大的差距呢?

So, yeah, aerodynamics and these

首先，因為這是最長的一個挑戰

wonderful, powerful brakes too.

所以差距會變得更大

- Yeah. I still can't believe 25 seconds.

而且空氣力學造型是非常重要的一點

There were a couple points where I, I ran out of gears

甚至比車子的重量還要更重要

so I just free wheeled.

除了真的很陡峭的爬坡之外

- And I did pedal. I've got bigger gears than you.

在實際情況下都是如此

We need to add that into the mix as well.
