For me not much I don’t have those 2 bikes to compare . But I do have a BMC granfondo an indurance bike and a few race bike and for me the speed is about the same I feel the specialized tarmac handles a little better into turns and on descends . But as for speed never say to myself I’m taking out one or the other bikes so I can be faster on a ride that day.
