2)When riding the road bike I don't feel like I breathe quite as well, and when I start to bring up the intensity I find I start getting very uncomfortable.
1) You do produce more power on the mtb, but only because that's the position you have adapted to over time.
2) Again, you are used to the mtb and so you breath easier. A longer reach on the road bike might help with the breathing.
