Better design can make riding more fun. I went from a 2007 aluminum Trek Pilot to a 2017 CAAD12 and the frame design improvements made bike riding more fun. The subjective sensations of control, comfort, responsiveness all improved. I feel more confident and relaxed on the new bike. The few watts I produce are more efficiently transferred to forward movement.
