How can the M3 feel so powerful if the fly wheel is much lighter than other cycles?
Everyone talks as if the weight of the flywheel is the most important thing in how a bike feels, just like they think strength is the most important thing in performance. It’s not, it’s the combination of the weight of the flywheel and its speed, which in this case is not power, but kinetic energy (KE). KE is proportional to the weight of the flywheel and the square of the speed. So the speed of the flywheel actually has a greater impact on how the bike feels than the weight.
