If you watched X nail the climb into Verbier today dusting off Y, Z and others, you wouldn't need to ask. It is the engine, not the bike. If they rode bikes that were a couple of pounds heavier it might add a second or two to such a climb but maybe not. The bikes the pros ride are all equivalent. If they were equivalent at a lower level, it wouldn't change a thing.
