The carbon that makes up my frame is much thinner than the aluminum of another frame (part of where the weight difference comes from) and therefore more brittle (carbon as a material is also brittle) so if you crash the frame doesn’t deform or take the flow it’ll snap. Just feeling the frame, it’s pretty fragile compared to an aluminum alternative and looking at images of bikes after crashes that carries over. In my opinion, if you’re a beginner rider or someone who’s at risk of crashing, I wouldn’t go for a carbon frame.

I’ll move on to a disadvantage, fragility and crash resistance. I didn’t notice that much of a comfort difference when going over rough road surfaces I felt the bumps and road vibration the same.

When I put down power, like climbing a hill, it feels like the bike is more responsive than its aluminum counterpart. I do notice this one, but less noticeable than something that can be measured by a scale. Also, if you want a bike with aero tube profiles the weight difference will be more pronounced since more material needs to be used.Īnother one of the advantages is the stiffness.
