Channel Subscription: https://bit.ly/2NViYKI In this video I will be reviewing the SEKA Exceed RDC and Vortex No Comprise 60mm carbon wheels, provided by a company called Cycling 100. Notably, in this road bike review, I will be comparing the SEKA to other mainstream aero race bikes that I have ridden in the past, such as the Cannondale SystemSix, the Cervelo S5, the Specialized Venge, the BMC Timemachine, and the Merida Reacto. While I will quickly outline price and weight of these products, I will mainly focus on riding experience, proving you with an overall rating at the very end. Intro to Project: https://youtu.be/8mF4c0f4wWk Inspection: https://youtu.be/nSn2DZPZVnU Build: https://youtu.be/tdqaeZLKJCw First Impressions: https://youtu.be/TlMnJmZckr4 Vortex hub issue (since been resolved): https://youtu.be/9xL3ds6hxNk Rating System: COMFORT: Front end comfort (absorbing road bumps & divots) Rear end comfort (absorbing road bumps & divots) Vibration on coarse roads Bouncing on seat over bumps General fatigue in the body after riding SPEED: Ability to hold speed free pedaling Ability to hold speed in bunch Ability fo hold speed in draft Ability to maintain or generate speed on descents General feel when riding a steady state Ability to hold speed and accelerate out of corners HANDLING Control & feel when out of saddle climbing Control & feel when out of saddle sprinting Steering control around corners Ability to quickly move to bike (avoiding potholes, riders, traffic) General feel at steady state riding General feel at high speed riding PRACTICALITY Ability to alter/change touch points with ease (Saddle and Handlebars) Ability to easily clean the bike. Does the paint hold grit and grim? Does the paint scratch/mark easily Will the bike resale with ease STIFFNESS: Does there appear to be flex in the frame during general riding How responsive does the bike feel when pressure is applied to the crank How well does the bike comply when out of the saddle sprinting VALUE FOR MONEY For the price, how much value does the bike deliver #seka #exceed #review |
