It is only a little different than what Biopace is supposed to do - lower the peaks and lengthen the power phase.


A stiffer frame doesn't flex, so it isn't doing anything to modify the power output graph. And because it doesn't flex, some riders are going to be fatigued by the peak load that the bike does nothing to buffer.
