Other factors are very much more important to me than aerodynamics in my decision for that bike, but the wind tunnel results were still interesting. Seems to me that there are quirks of aerodynamics that are difficult to pin down. Is it the tire itself that makes the 2.2" Race King more aero than the 50mm Cinturato or is there some sort of synergy with the Lauf fork and/or the wheels in the video that makes it more aero. Would the Race King still be more aero than the Cinturato in my Niner fork? With my wheels? I don't know. I don't expect to ever know. I'm not a racer, so that level of minutia doesn't matter much to me.
