In 2016, not knowing much about "endurance" bikes, I purchased a new Kestrel RT 1000 convinced this would be more comfortable with a more relaxed geometry. After multiple rides with my triathlete brother that rode his racing Trek Madone, I observed our positions when on the hoods. My position was at least 15-20% more aggressive than his position on the Madone. We are both 6'2" and riding stock 58mm framed bikes. After that, types of bikes lose all meaning until you are riding.
