Quanto si va più forte in salita con 2 kg in meno? | Scienza in bici

Is weight really a cyclist's number one enemy? In this video, we're in Nesso, at the foot of the iconic climb leading to Pian del Tivano (Lake Como), to answer one of the most debated questions in the cycling world: how much time can you really save by losing 2 kg? To make the test scientific, we maintained a constant power of 250 W on two consecutive climbs. In the first test, we added 2 kg of weight (four bottles of water), and in the second, we rode at our natural weight. You'll discover surprising data on VAM (Average Ascent Rate), average speed, and heart rate, as well as a direct comparison between two cyclists with a 9 kg body weight difference. Is it worth spending thousands of euros on a top-of-the-line 7 kg bike, or is it better to focus on training and maintaining a healthy weight? 0:00 Climbing Pian del Tivano from Nesso 0:23 The test: 2 kg less on the climb 1:00 Test 1: Climbing with 2 kg of extra weight 2:28 Test 2: Climbing with 2 kg less and constant power 4:20 How many seconds can you save per kilometer per kg? 7:27 Top-of-the-line bike vs. entry-level bike 8:30 Lightweight bike or diet?
