  • has the same crabon fabric as my crabon hardtail (if I'm gonna have two plastic bikes they might as well match)
Unfortunately
  • not Italian
  • 5 or 6 years older
  • maybe less aero except the fork (which probably doesn't matter to me much as a hammerhead ride for me is 16.4mph avg on a good day )
A valid argument can be made for both bikes. I’ve always admired both brands. If you are picking between these two, go with the one that excites you more.
